there always comes a time when you have left something for long enough that you realise you just have to attend to it, and this is what this whole blog is about. i am late, as usual, in updating. nearly one month late.
i wish some other things could be one month late too, but nvm.
i feel like i am always playing catch up in my life, whether it be in blogging, studying or being on time for lectures/tutorials. i guess much of peoples' lives focus on playing catchup (daily news, meetings with bosses/friends) but probably few as intently and determinedly as mine.
i am tired, so so so freaking tired. but also happy.
i don't think i've ever felt so fulfilled and enriched since like, ever (ok working at YC does not count cuz its still work haha), and exhaustion has its own tinge of sweentness and contentment in a way.
i'm rushing like mad everyday yet i wake up in the afternoon (and this is probably what i love best about uni hahaha), i go to sleep in the morning and in between i get to sit in on interesting people giving interesting speeches (lectures) and interacting with brand new people nearly everyday.
one aspect i hate about CORS is that we practically gamble our education away, and yet one thing i love about it is that to some extent, we still get to choose. and choice is all-important. its the difference between being dragged into a japanese studies lecture and actually being interested in what the japanese studies lecturer has to say.
then again, lit lects are absolute shit (in the: i have no bloody idea what the hell the lecturer is talking about way). lols.
i'm tired from the instant i wake up, and awake when i should be sleeping. yet i don't fall asleep during lecture (even without coffee!) or tutorial, and actually manage to take notes sometimes. how amazing is this. this is the power of choice.
people in fass also tend to be on the interesting side (we are arts people NOW after all, even though there are former-science-peeps around), and everyday is something new. not always exciting, but interesting enough and if you have the disposition to, you can make tons of new friends every single day just by talking to the people around you during lecture or tutorial.
sure, i go to lectures with friends but no one ever takes the exact same modules as you, and thats what i love about it sometimes. 1. you have the option to be alone. 2. you have the option to meet new people.
ever find it really hard to make new friends? thats because you're hanging out with ur old/current ones too much, doofus.
tutorials are the funnest. the tutors (most of them anyway) tend to be really interesting people and the environment practically begs for people to speak up/to each other. god, i love tutorials.
and clothes! haha its one thing to see hall residents in long shirts and fbts, and another to see goth girls in heels and fishnets and huge chanel totes.
plus u get to wear your own clothes, fun if u have a bursting, crazy wardrobe, not so fun if ur wardrobe consists of clothes from secondary school. sometimes, i'm actually late for class just because i couldn't decide what to wear.
unbelieveable yeah.
tell u smth else. i was half an hour late for a one hour tutorial. tutorials usually end about fifteen minutes early, so i had fifteen minutes of tutorial left, five of which i spent setting up and shutting down my laptop. so i had something like ten minutes of tutorial. not fun.
considering my tutor went to reservice and left us to our own devices, and me not realising tutorials are only held on wed and thurs so i can't make up on fri, i only had 10 minutes of tutorial for joseph conrad's the secret agent which is by far the most depressing and convoluted book i've ever read (excluding shakespeare lol). not fun at all.
and now they've moved on to sula (which i love).
don't know why i was ever thinking of majoring or minoring in lit. dio was right, lit in uni is just crazy.
ok! enough for one post. i should start doing work. zzzz. maybe tmr.
watched hairspray today! awesome. go watch. raline cooked dinner for me. thanks babe!
merci beaucoup, a demain (or on tuesday haha), tu es tres joli, J'AIME BIEN! muackmuacks!
i'm so sleepy my eyes are closing.
