ok, i think talking about work is really boring. it's like reading about med school people going for their cytoplasmic tutorials and cadaver explorations. i don't know why i'm here, don't know why i'm not sleeping, i have a test on java tomorrow. anyway the lesson i learnt is, never tell people your grades, especially the good ones. see after i said i got high marks for the last paper, she gives me a c- for the new one and i had to rewrite it cuz she was like "i was really looking forward to reading your paper and this surprised me blah blah". that took up much of the weekend and prevented me from playing frisbee in the last days of glorious weather. yea the winds are getting stronger, the sun sets at 5pm, and i didn't even got around to taking pictures of the fall foilage.
highly anticipating peru, but i think i'm gonna be so unfit. i even fell sick after eating too much beef jerky. what else is there besides work? oh, watching desperate housewives and assorted shows on fridays in christina's room, us falling asleep there every single time. and great acapella concert--one guy totally nailed jacksons 5's i want you back in falsetto-- and late night ice skating (still stumbling). no fun history of rock music class next sem-- they're all full. we had a singaporean food fest called makanmania and we made three huge ice coolers of milo and bandung. 2am snow fight, snow from cartops and carhoods. really painful in the face. and still no plan for thanksgiving.
top evidence that school is not very fun and we have to find other means to amuse ourselves::
