i read an email a few days ago. something about which star signs are most ___. and in most cases, my star sign ranked either in front or right at the back. so my star sign really knows no moderation i guess.
i remember how yihan and i debated that we belong to the school of thought of all, or nothing. i guess it's partly true. i can't remember what i was doing the other day except that i had this sudden urge to just buy a plane ticket and hop on a plane to anywhere.
as much as i hate wandering all alone, the idea of carrying the baggage of so many sounds equally terrifying. recall the above paragraph, apparently my star sign has quite a high tendency to roam about. but then again, they can all be self-fulfilling prophecies.
about routines. i still have mixed feelings about it. i don't like uniformity even though i like symmetry. i don't like mundane repetitions yet i am sometimes selected against when it comes to adapting and changing to environments.
i think i'm getting better at that though.
and then again, i know i'll feel some degree of emptiness and displacement if i were uprooted from my usual routine.
okay enough about that.
i got back my math. which was bad. so that's about all i can say regarding that.
i met alyssia to discuss the programme for first sunday. but we ended up chatting. she's really amazing. always involved in lots of comm service stuff. i enquired about volunteering at the children's hospital and i think i may just be able to arrange something for the winter term.
went to the MLB to watch a movie for Korean class. i thought it was going to be some boring and dry crap. no way. it's a commercial flick but a really good one at that. a war flick based on the Korean war and shot from a different perspective.
i was beyond help by the time the movie came to a close. had to use all the serviettes that i got from my dinner. so much for being emotionally detached. maybe that's applicable to my own life . but i still retained my abilities to cry my eyes swollen and nose red.
the film's called Welcome to DongMakGul. it's great!

thanksgiving is this week. i have just a math discussion, 2 lectures and a movie that i have to watch for my Korean class before the break! time for rest again! i'm elated.
though i know very well, we'll be doing anything but resting. it's just a sad excuse to have fun masquerading as a time for rest. fall break did anything but revive me. i just ended up more tired.
and seriously, i won't even bother turning up for math if the GSI wasn't giving back our exam papers.
i got back my second korean midterm. 49.7/50. i'm kicking myself for the 0.3mark loss. it's a single simple grammar error. and to think that i actually spent time pondering the question before choosing the wrong answer in the end. it's utter madness. i never cared that much about grades in hwachong. i figured i was prolly the botom of the barrel anyway. but here, nothing less than the perfect score for korean is satisfactory. and even english, i'm putting in an insane amount of time for it. last night was another 5am morning finishing a paper proposal.
3 consecutive 5am days. no wonder i having such a bad headache.
on the side, i've taken to writing. i've started on a chinese story. i hope i persist and finish it.
gotta do korean quiz revision.
