Last day of skewl

YAY, 2007 is over!!! (skewl-wise)
Finally, well technically it isn't yet, I still have to get a teacher's email to do reference letter for that waterloo skewl - only one where I need a reference letter for application... that's just depressing... and I think I've discouraged someone from applying to 'loo because of the need for ref letters, lolz.

I wonder if I should go to the holiday assembly or not... like I wonder if I have enough time to go home and pack up before 5...

o, did I mention: I'm going to Toronto at 5 pm today!!!

*ecstatic*

It's time for the holiday vacation to begin... lotta shopping (albeit lotta work too)

Merry Christmas !!!!!!

Day of Semi-Relaxation

I got yelled at for being home at 9:30 pm but I still wholly enjoyed my day/evening =) ... but I mean, c'mon - 9:30 pm is HARDLY late -__- at 11 I can understand... it would take me 30 mins to get home from a closing library (if I was there) anyways... geez. I'm never gonna have kids XD

In any case, cuz I was feeling stressed and bored and whatever else is on my plate (psyche mostly) I decided to go with a friend to Rideau mall till 6 pm (having stayed in school till 4 to do some work, so it was productive).
We ate some food - NY fries for me lolz =) yuuum... I spend like $10 today (on the poutine and a yogurt from yogen fruit ... NEVER do kiwi + wuzever that berry was... not kewl) but I'm totally cool with it =) the company was great and the atmosphere was fab =D I <3 it

Then I got coaxed into going to the Chess Club at Ottawa U... it was strangely great. There wasn't any excitement or anything... but the company - all uni guys (with a lot to say =P) were AWESOME. It feels good to be with them - like any kind of stress disappears and such... there's a strange sort of serenity - and as Linda described it - they are like an older brother's best friend type of people

<3 it.

I'll be going to Chess every wednesday from now on... a weekly dose of fun comfort in the middle of boredom and stress from hell known as school.

now I go do my poli assignment

cheerioz XD

Review - prompted by tomorrow

So I got my report card 2 days ago... it was weird. I got this mark in stats and I don't know how the teacher came up with ... I mean we haven't gotten any of the 4 tests back yet... and from ppl who have taken her course before, iz unlikely that I'll see them again lolz
and apparently at the end, my mark is gonna plummet like hell. but whatever.

Business, I'm happy with... I'll cut my losses (cuz the last test was just EVIL - so much red on the scantron MC sheet -__-) ... and I'll kick ass what can I say =P

Politics...
well, I'll just enjoy it like I already do =) my marks shall suffer, but whatever, at least I shall retain this information for years to come... not like MATH hahaha

yes I'll expand on that ...
Math Learning of Me: I learn everything really fast - usually I get it in an instant or two... the concepts goes in and I get it... and I can apply it and life is great.
But then immediately after I have been submersed in math (aka finished exams, aka summer vacation, aka life) every inkling of mathematical understanding learned just escapes and dies on me =( ... I can't even find derivatives any more... the simplest thing, I know =P altho some REALLY basic things I still remember... but yawr... definitely don't remember how to do conic sections... or ANY calculus - the thing that I got a RLLY low mark in... oh well, I give up on that. (NOT going to do that new math course -__- just so I can make more pain for myself? I don't think so buddy) so the conclusion is that I remember nothing from anything I "learned" in any of the math classes... thus I am thinking twice of Waterloo (aka double degree w/ math) ... because... it's not like I'm gonna do something seriously math-related that I need a goddamn degree for it... altho it is more challenging.

decisions decisions...

("tomorrow" = last day to drop a course before full disclosure) ... that's what instigated all this, I know, strange eh XD

-L

Stuff.

I have no idea what's going on.

But I'm going to be focused.

That's right.

-L

I hate being wrong.

I got like 5 questions out of 20 for the multiple choice on the test... I hate being wrong. I really, really, really do.

This sux.

*teardrop* *violent hate* -___-

-L

The Weekend has Failed Me.

Just as the title says... Got stuff done, but felt like nothing was accomplished... like it takes me such a bloody long time to finish something - aka the stupid effing radio ad -_-

let's see what's happening tmr... o yawr, presentation - this is just shit. shit.

mon - poli party presentation
wed - biz IBP rationale proposal
thurs - poli test on chapter 11

o hell.

Exhaustion + Emerging Stupidity

ok, so yesterday was Oct 31, Hallow's Eve (for Halloween is just a cheap child's way of describing this witching day hahaha =P funfun eh?)

Since 31 is an odd number, it was day 1.

So, my worthless brain just registers that today, Nov 1, was day 2... cuz u know, that's a natural sequence and everything...

Of course, I knew full well that whether it is day 1 or day 2 depend on what DATE it is - whether it's odd or even...

So I thought I had a spare in the morning
So I slept in
So I got the school... and I was late for first period -_______-
by 40 minutes.

Hahahahah... and the funniest thing is that when my biz teacher (thank goodness it was business class... if it was politics I would positively die -_-) was like: You just got here? Me: yes... Him: Oh... I thought (point) that was you...

the dishonest side of me wish that I had never mentioned anything to him =[ ... but I did finish and hand in my media portfolio on time, even before other ppl lolz

Oh well... they didn't do ANYTHING in those first 40 mins... thaz just madness haha =]

And there's a dance today... which I don't haev a costume for... so screw that whatever, I've had enough of pain and suffering already...

come deliver me from hell, weekend XD

-L

sense of doom.

no clue why, elaboration later...

completion date vs due date... I need to get used to that thinking.

-L

...annnnnd (note: Bloggie number 42!)

iz dead.

officially.

ppl pissed off, but I feel way lighter now (not weight wise, cuz how could I? =P)

yupyup, hopefully it doesnt come back and bite me in the ass =(

-L

Eyes glazing...

yes, it literally did that just now... everything just suddenly became very blurry, and it's keeping on doing it from time to time... now kewl.
Anyways, what I really wanted to talk about is my new uni selection: york, 'loo, uofT, and ryerson... just to keep notes so I remember...
And another thing, I'm contemplating forgetting the biz club stuff -_- iz not worth the stupid effort... haha but I guess I'll try it out before deciding nething drastic like that.
Oh and, politics is dying, with blood and brimstone and all of that. but the class is too enjoyable to be dropped... I'll just try to get the unis to not see my midterm mark... lolz, it just sux =(

-L

Unmotivated

Biz Club is so gonna die -___-

-L

It has not yet began.

When life gets you down, whether by action or lack there of, I just have to always remember to myself that High School... it is nothing. The first two decade of my life is not even the first breath... where I've been confined, somewhat, to a safe secure place. It's not even life yet. It's hard to imagine... where would I be, what will I feel in ten years?

-L

Form A can go die in a sink hole.

the most stupid thing is required to get reference letters... basically a list of activities I have done since grade 9 >.> and verified by teacher supervisors... SO THAT other teachers can talk about those things... isn't that overtly redundant... STUPID.

I'm so not doing this.

-L

Cross Country

I've joined the cross country sports club thingie... where we just run everyday after school for about 40 mins (depending) ... from mon to thurs. I plan to just do at least monday and wednesday, but thurs also sometimes.
I've learned something about myself during the experience of monday and wednesday... I cannot run at all... I could not finish the laps and my throat feels like it's about to peel from the inside or something... but today was definitely better than monday - good sign
I shall continue no matter what and one day be able to run without getting sore the next day. I'll be physically prepared for life... yes that's how I see it. HAHA ^^
to endurance! (for speed is for the gifted and the ones chased by mad foaming-at-mouth rabbid doggies)

-L

Realy, Really Pathetic.

I am so gonna die in university.
Why?
I get shaky mailing a letter.
Yes.
That's right.
It took me 5 whole minutes to write the address - very un-neat I must say... althought I did write everything letter/number in a GIGANTIC way... =__= My hand likes to shake.
The return address took 1 minute to write... very tilted, but who cares... hopefully the post people don't mistake that for the mail-to address and return the mail back to me... that would SUCK. (and yes, it is written on top left hand side... underneath the big huge ALGONQUIN COLLEGE logo... it was the only envelope I had in disposal, ok -_-)
The actual mail ... man I cannot sign my name for shit. Normally when I sign on unimportant stuff, anywhere, it's perfect, fine and dandy. But when I actually have to sign something for official purposes... my hand, yes folks, you guessed it, shakes... and my signature just looks retarded... like seriously, the lines are all in the wrong places! =(
This is obviously NOT good if I want to have consistent signature for all my future life... ACCKKK... I probably need to take a class in this or something...
Need more confidence in everything I do... =3

I call mailing a letter an EXPERIENCE. like one for the book of suffering.
Pathetic. -sulks in corner-

Now tomorrow, I have to get the stamps and -___- this is depressing.

-L

An observation

when my printer prints... the whole table feels the tremor... it's weird >.>

School Guidance is the Suck

Okay, so I have my spare (which wasn't official yet because I hadn't gotten my timetable yet atm) and during that period I went to the guidance councilor office to see what was the hold up on my course change... and it turns out that it was done already and so I got a copy (I had never heard my name in the announcements so >.>) ... and then right after I got out of guidance, the announcements went on and alas, my name was called... I'm just looking weird and thinking like O_o ... so what the heck I went to get another copy of my timetable... what do u know, right after school it happened again... and I just ignored it... these people are trying to fix their shortcomings, but it's not.working. I just know that I'm gonna be f'ed for uni appz... just watch -__-

-L

International Business

I'm in class right now and I can't believe that this blog works here... omgz =P I hate how nothing can be saved and I can't get into my H drive or see handin folder... how depressing

newayz, I'm going back to "work" now

-L

AP English

This is actually a very simple decision: If I keep the AP English now, I'll have to do a lot of work... and I'm not a very good participant in this class, so that's not good either.
If I drop AP English, I'd take regular English next semester, where I'll have 1 spare in each semester and even up my work.
Of course I've thought above just having two spares in the second semester so I can study for AP... and then it occurred to me that if I dropped AP English, I would only have 2 AP exams to worry about instead of 3 (although one of my goals was to have 3 APs... well I'll cut my loses)

So I guess I'll just hand in the form tomorrow for dropping AP =) I'm sure I won't miss the class.

Whispers of the Heart

耳をすませば (If You Listen Closely) is a movie by the infamous Miyazaki of Ghilibi Studio. It's a 1995 film and as expected, it is fantastic. The charm of the story and depiction of characters is first class. I absolutely loved the animation, and doubly loved the music, both the background soudtrack and Country Road (the japanese version more so). It's very instrumental and beautiful.
luv it ^^

-L

Back to School

Today was a half day, so technically I still have another half day before school "actually" starts... and as per usual, after the administration stuff were being done, things... are not so good. I realized that I have to redo ALL of my personal information on that sheet... the address, phone #, parent's contact info... which is going to be a huge hassle -_- Damn it. And my courses are, for the first year in high school, to be screwed up - I get 2 spares on second semester, like I'm gonna need that when my marks don't matter anymore... GEEZ. Many things to change tomorrow... now it's just a question of which course I'm going to switch to second sem.

I do not like school at all.

-L

New...Place.

So I've officially moved out of my house. Actually I moved out yesterday and slept here last night but it feels more complete today because... well, I've finally got my computer set up! Yes, that is the most important thing.
So school starts in like 1 day... omgz -_- I am so not ready, altho I am infinitely happy that my book orders got here! Very awesome =) I now have everything ready before school (for AP Eng anyway) I Luv Chapters. Amazon is the pits -_-
The internet is actually not bad here, I'll probably enjoy my one year (or 10 months) here... waiting for my parents to buy the house in T.
This last year of high school shall entail, among strenuous work and volunteering that I'm gonna have to do, longer walking time than before but shorter bus rides... har har, didn't expect that. This place is good and bad... but I don't think I'll ever call it home like I did to my old house.

I shall miss you, home of my three greatest years so far. You are a great memory ^^

-L

Eve before Change

Tomorrow I will be officially moving into the new house... and I shall note here that I am quite sad although not as sad as when kittie left... It's just I've become attached to the great air of space around me in this house. Somewhere along the way it was has become home, at least for these past 3 years.

I shall miss it.

Goodbye.

Brave New World

Most people, before I read this book, thought that I had already read it. I would just raise my eyebrows at them and be silent. After I've read this book however, I don't blame people for thinking so, because it does seem like to be something I would have read. Lolz ^^ It is very interesting and bizarre but not so like so many dystopian books. Very nice.
I think this is probably because of my specific version of the book, but there were a LOT of grammar mistakes. Periods and commas randomly not appearing where they're definitely supposed to, and parts of words being cut off - not normal, roflz... although I did enjoy that as a characteristic charm.

I give this book 8.5/10 because it is a fun read and recommend it to all. I finished it in 2 days - which is a good sign =)

-L

Endless Nights

I just spent the good part of the afternoon today reading Neil Gaiman's The Sandman: Endless Nights.
It was beautiful.
The illustrations were very diverse and elegant for each of the Endless's stories. My favourite ones in terms of picture quality would have to be Destiny and Dream... although I like them all very much. In terms of story and plot, all of them are unique and beautiful in their own way, so I really don't have a favourite.
I feel absolutely awed after reading this book. I definitely recommend it to everyone, although probably not everyone will enjoy it. =P

"There is a man with a book, walking through his garden.
The man is blind.
The garden is a maze of paths that divide and branch and recombine..."

I cannot wait to read the rest of the series. ^______^

-L

Got G1!

like, finally. I traveled far and wide to Walkley (transportation place) to get my G1 yesterday. The process there took about 1 hour, 30 minutes of which were spent waiting...yes that's right, it felt like getting my health card all over again. It was horrid. But I'm glad I got it... just they messed up my Address... Yes typed in an extra number, I don't even think that address exists -_____-

fubar, I have to fix this, AND I have to go change my address when I move again... in like 1 wk... This is kind of retarded...
Oh wellz, hopefully it all works out.

-L

RANDOMNESS!

holy crap, this is the most random thing ever -__- today was so random, iz so hilarious... and saying this "random" just added to itself a double meaning. O M G -_____-

I laugh, I truly do =P

life is so enjoyable at times like these.
kekekeke
damn, skewl is going to be doom...yawr, what a damper.

-L

PLAYLISTS!

after a random series of events, I have discovered projectplaylist.org. It's the best frigging thing ever. I've been stressing over playing music on my bloggie because firefox refuses to play the song I put on the sidebar of the blog (because apparently I don't have a specific plugin and the computer refuses to install it -_-) so now all those problems and more are solved.
I can play a lot of music and I don't have to upload them (it takes a couple lifetimes to upload in any case) ... I feel so glad. Now I'm perpetually on my bloggie and projectplaylist website just listening to music. Luv it ^^

Rush Hour 3

This. Movie. Is. Awesome.

Basically the action is as fantastic as usual. The scenery (paris) is beautiful. And the humour is altogether hilarious. I Love This Movie.
Both main characters are FANTASTIC.

There are two downs to this movie though - a) it was only 86 mins... -_- too short. b) the actress for that chinese girl canNOT act whatsoever... it was painful to watch her do her lines like she was trying so hard to remember them... -______- good thing she didn't have a big part in the movie, or else it might be ruined.

4.5/5 for this movie. wOOp!

-L

Harry Potter 5

So I watched this movie on tuesday, yay it was cheap, and all I can say for the movie is: mediocre.
The special effects, where there were any (very rare indeed) were satisfactory, I mean... it's the kind of effects people nowadays would expect from a top budget movie such as this. The acting is horrid as per usual, hermione cannot act to save her life, and she's one of the main characters -__- jeez. Although the newcomers are pretty good, Luna's actress is surprisingly good, Bellatrix is very convincing and so is Umbridge. But with a main character like Harry, the acting is just horrid -__-
Story was okay, I suppose, I mean it's been a while since I've read the 5th book and it wasn't the most interesting part, although I did enjoy Sirius' part in the movie... so sad he died =(

All in all, it was okay, I mean, I wouldn't want to get the DVD or anything, but whatever.

Minesweeper

this game is annoying and addictive on so many levels, I swear -__- anyway my right hand is tired from clicking forever, so I'll stop playing now -__-

tired...

eyes glazing over at random times during the day -__- VERY bad lolz, the remnants of jetlag still lingers indeed... in about 40 mins I'll be going to South Keys by bus -_____- I haven't ventured outside by myself since the trip to china... it's gonna be stressing -_- anyways, I'll hopefuflly blog some more after I see the Harry Potter movie today... lolz

accidental post

this post is deleted because it was an accidental post -_____- (no worries, the complete contents and then some is posted right after...) weird bloggie doesn't let me delete...

craving

I'm craving potato salad ... for some reason XDDD >_> anyways... need food.

-L

yawn.

still slightly affected by jetlag, I'm just plain bored at this point. So here's a list of things I must do before school starts:

1. Get G1 ... probably in the next week (by that I mean I can drag it until the absolute last day of the summer -__- procrastinating is my poison =( but I likes the poison >.> )

2. Watch HP 5 ... yawr I'll probably do this on Tuesday... because it's cheaper or with my parents if they're not tired enough -____-

3. Read Tess of the D'Urbervilles. I should do this simply because I can't stand it. Just imagine reading this while stress is pressing down on my brain during school year. Wow... should read it now so it'll be easily handled in school year. Damn.

4. Find volunteering. For uni purposes. Maybe or get a job.

And that's it... if I can do that within the remnants of this summer, it'll be good... roflz. I miss china :'(

HP 7 Book Review

So I've finally finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, just about yesterday (at 5 am actually) ... I dragged the reading on way longer than it should have lasted. Many people I know practically read the book in the summer camp, not going to any activities but still a pretty good accomplishment.
Now I'll just briefly note some major stuff that I felt towards the books.

First and foremost, I am not at all disappointed by the book, which is surprising, because after a long run, the HP series was kind of getting long-winded and...dear I say, boring. However, this last book promises (and indeed brings) satisfactory full circle closures tying many many of those loose ends in most of the previous HP books. I find them quite imaginative and realistic (shock). Kudos

One thing about the plot of the book that I hated was how, in the end, Harry ends up with Ginny... yes the red-head youngest daughter of the Weasley family. Why is this such a horrid ending? Because it's just wrong on so many levels, plus, after seeing how hormone-raged Harry's mind is towards Ginny in the entire premise of the book, one simply gets tired, down-right tired, of this pairing. Seriously... Well, perhaps this ill feeling is also affected by how the movies franchise portrays Ginny... I feel depressed now -_- Also, is it even plausible that after 19 years, Harry would still be with Ginny? And have three kids? the middle child whose name, one must wonder, surely inspires the child to commit suicide and hate life forever (Albus Severus Potter... while his two siblings are safely named James and Lily Potter -_- c'mon, where's the imagination, folks). Anyway, I don't like that ending, but I guess it's not hurting (or even minutely touching) the main plot... so it's all good.

I love the main plot, by the way, very well thought out, and although some parts are cheesy, it still passes as realistic and charming. I love Albus Dumbledore... but why does he have to cry so much?

About the multiple deaths occurring in the book... I don't feel bad about it... they were definitely necessary for the book to be realistic, and I even think that maybe there weren't enough deaths. At least not many "important" lives were lost. Though I am deeply, deeply saddened by Lupin's death ... that's just cruel. J.K. Rowling has successfully killed off all of the four who created the Marauder's Map... James, Lupin, Sirius, and Wormtail. -___- I think that was part of the masterplan... oh wellz.

Overall, very good description (not long as some people might suggest, at least nothing compared to LOTR or Ayn Rand books... gawd, those descriptions are mind-bogglingly long...), and a nicely developed pace. Character development is dead, but you expect that from the last book of the series. Dialogue is pretty good too. etc. etc.

This book is satisfactory. It's not a masterpiece, oh certainly not. It stands no chance against the world's great literatures. Surely not as witty as HHGTTG, or as informational as the Fountainhead. But it's a children's book, and for that genre, this book rather excels. =D

I shall be awaiting the movies as well as any further work of this grandeur, for we all know how successful the Harry Potter franchise has become.

Cheers,

-L

packing

I thought I would just take all my books and put them into a box and be done with it. But alas, the art of packing is way more complicated than that. I still possess many things that I'm baffled to see, and yet I am unable to part with them forever. So I'm going to be very very unfortunate and pack everything, but categorized so that only a selected and useful few are taken with me to my new home... the rest will basically rot in storage. Anyway, it's taking longer than I thought, and I'm probably going to end up with four boxes (not including clothes and such). Anyways, hopefully it'll be done before the day is over, or when my parents get home they will bring hell =(

lyrics of my stupidity

恶作剧

我找不到很好的原因
去阻挡这一切的亲密
这感觉太奇异
我抱歉不能说明
我相信这爱情的定义
奇迹会发生也不一定
风温柔的侵袭
也许飘来好消息
一切新鲜有点冒险
请告诉我怎么走到终点
没有人了解
没有人像我和陌生人的爱恋
我想我会开始想念你
可是我刚刚才遇见了你
我怀疑这奇遇只是个恶作剧
我想我已慢慢喜欢你
因为我拥有爱情的勇气
我任性投入你给的恶作剧
你给的恶作剧
我找不到很好的原因
去阻挡这一切的亲密
这感觉太奇异
我抱歉不能说明
我相信这爱情的定义
奇迹会发生也不一定
风温柔的侵袭
也许飘来好消息
我才发现你好耀眼
请让我再瞧瞧你的双眼

It's official

my jetlag is still here... and I'm not helping it. Two days in a roll, and I have slept from morning to about 4-5 pm. Basically I didn't sleep during the night - first time because I couldn't, second time because I couldn't and because I was watching Spartacus...

well, I hope it ends soon... at least another week should be fine. -_-

not confident...

I have done virtually, literally, nothing in the last year... so basically I'm dead for applying to universities, especially for the program I want (business, which really focuses on extra curricular activities).
I guess I can still get something done in the few short months before applications are due, and I hope I'll be able to do it and make it presentable. Now that I have crossed out american universities as a possible choice, I have to make sure I get into some good ones in Canada. At the very least, Toronto. (lolz)
Just wanted to express my thoughts.

old letter

Lisa wrote this letter to me in September 9... some year I don't remember...

all I have to say is... wow BAD grammar, dude =P (and yes, it is hand written, I just randomly found it while I was cleaning out my old stuff ^^) so it goes as follows (in quite nice hand writing I must say):

"Dear my friend:

Those two photos are the photos my mom took the day you leaved. [LOLZ LEAVED!] It seems to be so long ago, but it was just eight days. [I don't know what to say...] You remember, right? [once again, I'm baffled LOLZ] We recorded for our website, we ate donuts together, took a look at my designs, played under the tree, and we finally said, good bye! [wow this actually makes me feel nostalgic =( <3]>Almost every night I dreamed that we're together. [yes, I love you too... but you have to admit, that was VERY cheesy, eh? ^^]

I don't have very much to say, except that I'm going to miss you very much. I hope that we'll see each other again. [Damn straight we did, didn't we, Liz =)] Who knows? [I do ^^] Maybe we'll end up living near each other again. [Er... maybe, but I know you don't want to =P] (But of course, it could be 0.00000000001% possibility.) [You were already loving math, my mathy friend =P]

I guess this is all I have to say. Just in case you forgot, my phone number is ...[number take out for privacy reasons... although it probably doesn't work anymore since she moved =P]

Bye for now! Let's just keep in touch by e-mail! [Yes, this was before the mass use of MSN and gtalk, how naive we were...]

Your Friend [You know, you didn't have to notify me on this fact... =P]
Lisa [Last name taken out for privacy reasons, though I don't think that was necessary ...]

P.S: The two designs are in here too."

...Yes I still remember those two designs, I probably still have them. We had great memories (and we still have them, and are continuously making more memories)...

<333

well...

I swear this will be my last post about my sleeping habits... It's sunday and I dont think that my absurd sleeping habits will let off by tomorrow -__- whatever, I'll still be jetlagging two weeks after coming back, that's just weird, man. whatever. It had took me only 2 days max to get over jetlag going to china... but why is it taking so long now? >.> I don't get this.

Anyways, I just went to another one of those "dinner" parties that my parents dragged me to. I was having such a great nap too = ( o wellz, at least we didn't stay long.

I'm gonna be bored now, again.

-L

new home

it appears that I won't be living in an apartment anymore. I'll be living in a townhouse shared with a family of three. I'm feeling neutral about this, although perhaps after seeing the house and subsequently the family, my feelings will change (towards either end of the spectrum). I'm bored. Anywayz, I'm going to go visit the house soon, since my dad just called the family right now.
It's sad, but I think I shall miss my house =( just like I miss my kittie.

Peace out, home for 3 yrs...

-L

weird

my sleeping habits are weird now. from last post, I just woke up randomly at 5 pm yesterday. Today, after going to sleep at about 11 pm or so, I find myself unable to sleep and thus proceeded to wake up at about 2 am to read HP and subsequently see light dawning at 6 am and thus get back for breakfast. naturally my grandmother was already awake so it was no big deal to turn on the tv and the laptop to make some noise. lolz. yes I'm just developing this stupid and strange sleeping habit and it's quite annoying. looking up at my ceiling in the dead of the night when there's no sound and no light is very very annoying, if I do say so myself. at least there werent any mosquitos, because in china, if I'm awake at night (which I was for the first two days or so because of yes, jetlag) I could hear the bugs around me, buzzing incessantly. That was more annoying. but it all adds up to make me more grumpy in the morning... and today caused me to randomly make baked fries... yes, something is very off now.
anywayz, I'll see if it lets up in the end. hopefully before next week.

Jetlag

this is actually funny. I slept last night at 12, after talking to dad for like a million hours (mostly complaining about the state of greyness associated with Beijing's sky). But then I read a bit of HP, meaning that I actually went to sleep around 2 am. The next thing I know, my sluggy half-asleep body woke at 12 noon. I barely glanced at the clock, I know, because I fell right back to sleep. And there, I woke up at 4 pm and refusing to get up at that time, slept another hour. Thus, my final tally for today's wakeup time is 5 pm.
I mean, jetlag shouldnt have continued to now... it's thursday today so it's been four days. And yesterday I woke up at 7 am. -_- Something's wrong with my sleeping pattern. It's defying laws of logic. >.> oh wells, hopefully I will get back to a more normal routine before the week's over.

I did say that I will give my body one week to adjust.
We shall see.

Guns

today I was bored, like anything other day of the summer vacation, and I decided to watch some of the movies I had that I haven't had time to watch before. The first movie I watched was Bowling for Columbine - it's about guns and is slightly based on the columbine shooting. the clearest memory is that there are about 11 000 ppl who die from gun shots in USA every year, while in Canada there's 168 and UK 68 (numbers are a lil off but not by much) ... the cultures of most of the western world is about the same - they all have access to violent video games, heavy metal music, violent political backgrounds... but why is America so especially violent? The movie explains with a clip from South Park - which is hilarious "I luuuuv my gun" ...so in conclusion, I guess americans should stop being so crazy about their guns (many places make it law for all citizens to own a gun) ... without the means for violence, surely violence will decrease. "If a bullet cost $5,000, then people would think twice before killing others. - I'm gonna blow your fucking head off... if I had some money. I'm gonna get another job, save some money, then you're dead!"
Lolz, I luv comedians.
