YY's musings
Midst of finals ramblings
This is probably the lamest picture anyone will ever see on flickr. I haven't had the time / the horrid weather is not permitting me to go out and shoot more pictures. In fact, I haven't really been shooting much with my GF1 since the summer as i've been shooting with my film camera. Hence, I present you my photobooth-ed blue face. I still don't really know what to make out of this flickr account but i've been using this more as a platform to blog because 1) my tendencies in forgetting usernames and passwords are hampering me from creating another account on top of lists and lists of other usernames that i dont already remember 2) my tumblr account has turned me into a reblogging monster and naturally, i get distracted from actually blogging.
I've been a sick hermit at home lately (hello, winter!) and have been catching up on lots of old movies and books. I even finished a puzzle in one night (as my last resort to avoid more studying) after two months of putting it off. I stare in disdain and cringe every time i look at the three missing pieces from the set, which i know will ceaselessly bug me until I pack up the apartment and not have to see it on a daily basis. I shall look into jigsawdoctor.com...
In the midst of this cramming-for-finals period, I feel sorry for myself for not having a better work area. I finally admit that a home is not a home without a proper desk. I have been shifting "work spots" every thirty minutes- from my bed to my couch and finally, my kitchen counter (which is driving me insane because i have been getting really tense shoulders from sitting on a tall stool for hours). I remember debating to myself in IKEA two years ago on whether or not to invest in a desk. Sure, this may sound stupidly obvious but I wasn't sure if getting another desk on top of a kitchen counter already in place would make my studio even more cramped as it already is. But clearly, I have made the wrong choice seeing as I dread lugging myself to the library in such unbearable coldness these coupla days. Although I have to say Mugar is doing me good as it keeps me away from distractions at home (my bed, for the most part) and I get to watch people in day-old sweatshirts with minimum make-up and groggy hair (myself included, apart from the groggy hair part). Yes, I am very easily amused.
A French final now stands between me and my flight home on Monday. Although its nice to have these two buffer days to study after just taking two finals, I wish I could simply get this one over with and out of the way. I am so much more productive with less time. I've used up this one day more for an interview and running errands than for studying.
As I anticipate to go home, i'm also bucket-listing for 2011. My top five to do's are:
1) learn the guitar
2) apply to non-profits abroad after grad
3) learn korean
4) learn golf
5) run a marathon
