ahhhhhhhhhhhh i'm so over xanga i am sorry .
facebook has taken over my world
anyway . i'll just leave a little update for those who are still around
singapore was amaaaazing at christmas and i was soo sad to get back but . oh . well . what can you do .
then the weather went totally disgusting and i froze for 3 months. like actually . seriously . it's terrible
totally miserable
there is nothing worse than winter
and i got a job then too .. at a thai restaurant . at first it was terrible terrible helllllllll
but i guess i got used to it .. i can survive a little longer there . at least the food is better than what i get here!
aaaaand school
oh school .
it's so unpredictable
my hardest class in my opinion . is my lecture . where i can't listen and can't read the textbook because they are so BLAH
well . turns out . that's my best class and i get good grades.
and the other classes i just kind of trudge through them and the grades range like really crazy mofos
seriously i dont know what i can possibly do to get consistent. at least the grades arent all like . disgustingly low. so at this point i know i will pass . don't know by how mucch but yeah. its terrible . i still do hate school . but less less less.
it's not so overwhelming anymore . that class i had last semester is gone . another one has replaced it but it's less IN JO FACE and i can tolerate it . it will get hardcore-er in years to come . at least i know i am learning a lot and my mind is extremely open to everything and i am very happy to be in the school i am in with the courses i have .. even though .. i don't enjoy the process so much . i don't relaly know what i'm saying BUUUUUUT . yahoo
and on another note
im coming home on may 1st and i'm bringing my new friend - the frosh 15

| WELL
here i am again ..
warning .. this is long and annoying but i couldnt stop .
it wasn't the greatest week .
school sucks
here sucks
i miss home
i miss before
i feel pretty losery
if you know me well you know i'm super competitive
and i used to use sports to get that out
and the few things i was actually good at
then i came here
and haven't done any form of exercise since singapore
and go to a school where 95% of the students are better than me
not just by a little .... by a whole lot
i don't do my work well and i don't get it done all the time and i have no time to get it done
i have no time to eat or shower sometimes
the weekend comes . the weekend goes
the weekdays zoom by
classes come . classes go
wake up . school . home . eat . sleep . with homework in between each
and no, i still don't have any friends away from my building
i was never the new kid back home so i don't exactly have new kid skills
and the first semester is almost over .. and i feel like i'm still the new kid
and i feel like i haven't achieved anything in any of my classes
it kinda just breezes by
well .. tornadoes by
critiques in design process
(if lewis is reading this .. i did the course evaluation before that last critique and have changed half my opinions so take this as the real course evaluation)
my teacher is obsessed with saving the world in every way
so he gives us a project where we get to choose out of 6 options
most are like .. design a bag for a specific function . design a monument
and for every project before he has torn me apart cuz i hadn't attempted to save the world enough
so this time i decide to choose "imagine a profound addition to the city"
and basically said make a form of green energy downtown in the area with the highest concentration of homeless people (who can run it) which turns garbage into energy which heats or runs transportation
and everyone else is like wow heres a wallet looking tampon bag
and i did hours and hours of research for every part of my idea
then i tell it to him . and he calls me insulting and selfish and completely degrading because i generalized homeless people . and tears apart my whole idea. and insults me instead of my idea. he says there are people that choose to be homeless to conform. and ok well they dont have to work in it. neither does anyone that doesnt want to . but if i was one of those people that was freezing to death on the street so hungry im disappearing, i'd go press buttons so i'd have free meals and a nice place to sleep at night.
and i did try to save the garbage situation + cold homeless people + the air + the whole damn city
and i did do more work than everyone else put together
and he did his oh i'm so smart thing . which he does all the time . which makes me so mad cuz theyre all just opinions . it doesnt mean hes wrong but it doesnt mean were wrong either
its first year hes supposed to be encouraging
ok its fine that hes critiquing our ideas and making us think about them in every way possible so we'll think the same way over the next 3 years but . compared to everyone else in that class i look like a litle girl and he criticizes me instead of my idea just cuz i can't communicate my idea the way i want because i'm too scared of saying the wrong thing and now i just hate everything because of that
ohhhh i'm so mad.
then i came home and got killed by jake ever so dumbly i didn't even swear or care (were playing assassin on our floor)
oh boy that was long but i am mad
and i can't wait to get home and go out and have friends and no work and get a tan
on another note . i bought christmas food
i love christmas
it was a nice day today .
useless, but nice | | |
