I’m so glad I have a premade “angry” playlist. There’s nothing more infuriating than having to remember and search for a song with fierce vocals and a heavy bassline when you can’t think straight. It’s aptly named “I Feel Statements”, which, for those of you who haven’t taken any counseling classes, is a strategy you [...]

finishing what i started

I used to read rather fervently, staying up late to finish novels in bed. Then, for years, I read nothing at all, barely sparknoting classics for class. And now I am starting to read again, but I keep jumping around. All of a sudden I have a huge booklist of reads and I’m feeling confused [...]

If bad things do come in threes, I hope this morning was the last of the trifecta. It’s all I can handle for a while. After being evacuated while I was taking a shower and getting a C in microbiology, I took the Chinese placement exam this morning to see if I can pass into [...]

A new schoolyear has begun. I don’t know if it’s just been a while or maybe it’s just the contrast to the relative stillness of summer, but everything seems so lively and exciting. The freshmen energy is rubbing off on my dusty 3rd-year heart. It helps that I actually like my RA and floor, which [...]
family matters

Yesterday was much more of a family day. I pretty much stayed home and ate all the food my grandmother pushed at me. Third Aunt came over with her kids for lunch and my mom’s cousin visited with her new baby, as well. Kids are so cute, but I don’t really like playing with them [...]

I am sitting at my kitchen counter, eating an almond Haagen-Dazs bar, watching the beastliness that is Man vs. Wild with my brother. I love being home.

I need to seriously reassess my life.
Career/Academics
Besides fleeting desires to be an artist/zookeeper when I was about 4 years old, I’ve pretty much wanted to be a doctor. It never really occurred to me that I couldn’t do it or maybe that I wasn’t fit for this role. The only thing I could foresee stopping [...]

I was going to blog about happiness since that’s what we’ve been discussing in Psych 10, but I’m not in the mood seeing as I just found out I failed my last midterm. Insert failure rant.
I also fell asleep during the psychology research experiment I was participating in. Hope I didn’t ruin the researcher’s results.
At [...]

Still reeling from the monstrosity that is my credit card statement, I have been trying my best to limit spending. But with Kenny in his new apartment and my own impending move into a new, more spacious dorm, my instincts to nest/decorate are very high.
With some careful arranging, my roommate and I should be able [...]
