Skipped lessons today. The reason for that is a perfectly understandable one. I got lazy, honestly. Just leaned back on the couch and hovered between stoning and sleeping as I waited for the clock to hit 11 am.

Ironically though, I felt like doing some revision, most likely because my guilty conscience kicked in and demanded that I do something useful, for once. So I left for Toa Payoh library and read through my history notes till about 4 pm before falling asleep till about 5 pm. It was bound to happen. Revision just ain't my thing.

Wasn't a complete waste of time though. Managed to get the whole picture (at least, I like to think so) of the Arab-Israeli conflict, especially the 1956 Suez-Sinai War. Even did two mindmaps on the Suez-Sinai campaign, and I'm so proud of those two pieces of foolscap paper. Just to prove that I know my stuff, I'll rattle a bit on the points stuck in my head.

Causes of Suez-Sinai war:
- Nasser's aggressive ambitions
- 1955 Czechoslovakia arms agreement
- Cold War rivalry: cancellation of loans for the Aswan Dam
- Nationalisation of the Suez Canal: conflict with Britain and France
- Fidayeen attacks on Israel

Consequences:
- Britain and France humiliated
- British and French declining influence in the Middle East
- Israel gained security against further attacks
- Nasser established reputation in the region
- Shit, forgot the heading for this point. Something about the Cold War framework being introduced into the conflict. Hey, at least I'm honest.

See? I did study. Cheers.

Oh, and for some odd reason, Toa Payoh Library just now was swarming with hot girls too. I mean, usually, I wouldn't notice. But I had to stay awake somehow, didn't I? Hehe. I guess today taught me that there are quite a decent number of pretty girls with brains.

All hope is not lost for the female human race.
