Every time I’ve double-posted so far, it’s been linking my other blog to a post here, usually when I write a particularly thoughtful post that I like enough to put in both places. In this case, however, I figured the topic is more academic than usual, so I put it in there and am linking […]
Category: college life
When I need to get work done, I sit in the chair I’m sitting in now and go for it. True, my room and computer do provide many potential distractions, but I have all of my comforts here as well. I could go to the library, but I feel like I work well enough here. […]
Feeling Great
During my last semester senior year in high school, my classmates and I began playing weekly Ultimate Frisbee games, and for as much fun as I was having, I realized that a significant hindrance to my effectiveness (beyond poor tossing skills, which was common to almost all of us) was general poor fitness. With quick […]
Back on The Farm, Working The Farm
Excuse my silence; I’ve been having a blast. My schedule has come down thick, but I can now pick two more classes that were locked last year for requirements. And so, I’m currently in math class so far beyond my understanding that not only can I not answer homework questions, I don’t even know how […]
Summer’s End
I happen to be in a highly distracted, yet entertained mood after watching the legendary Cane Toads documentary once shown in my high school biology classes. My sister had told me funny stuff about it, and upon finally viewing it, I can vouch it’s certainly as good as reports. Recommended on a day you’re in […]
Quieter Campus != Quieter Life
Campus feels much different from the school year. Instead of crazy passing periods in the last 10 minutes of every hour each morning and an onslaught of potentially mandatory activities, bike lots have much open space, and everyone seems to have an easier groove. My life, however, has morphed into a different sort of activity. […]
When Summer Strikes Late
I just finished my last final this afternoon and am greatly relieved, though somewhat sad. My dorm gets emptier and emptier, while I stay here until the summer session starts and I can shift into new housing. But it’s been a good year. College offers many different opportunities than before, ranging from the freedom to […]
Lazyish Sunday
I remember reading an article awhile ago about how to procrastinate productively. The article explained one tactic where to procrastinate on one task, one should instead work on other tasks. And hence has been my tactic this morning. I have slept in, caught up on backlogged articles, gone through some old emails, worked on Chinese, […]
New Quarter, New Priorities
On Friday, I woke up and realized that on that day, I wouldn’t need my hoodie when I rode to class in the morning. The temperature has jumped, and I heard some complaints around the dorm. But for me, it’s just beautiful and comfortable. And a sign that it truly is Spring Quarter. The quarter […]
Ch-Ch-Changes
Being home is nice. Sitting in my old chair, sleeping in my old bed, seeing my high school friends, talking to my mo, watching Star Trek. Sometimes it doesn’t seem like you’re running that fast until you take a breather. It’s interesting to think about how that last quarter went. Defintely busier than the one […]
