EPIC

For the first time in my life, I went for a final exam which i didn't have time to finish studying for. And for the first time in my life, i left the exam hall without being confident even for ONE question. Although I know i would be banished to hell this time round, a little point of relief is that everyone was cursing and swearing at this ridiculous paper, but still, I think I would probably be one of the worst kids around.

Anyway, life goes on and I need to catch up on my precious sleep before studying for my last paper. Zzz..

Dear Fall 2009,

I am so glad that you will disappear from my life in two days' time. Thanks for making this semester of mine such an epic failure. You made me realise what a horrendous kid I can be, and much as I do not want to, I know you would strike me off the Dean's List this semester. I bear no high hopes.

Moving on, I know you have gotten your twin to torture me next semester further more, with the dreadest most class with a 20-30 pages report PER WEEK, and of course, endless amount of time-consuming work again.

In conclusion: Academic Year 09-10, you make me feel that my exorbitant school fees are worth paying for, and has certainly brought me to my pinnacle of failure (** NOT success**).

I believe i can flyyyy ;)

woots, just booked three plane tickets, still have at least one more to go. :) So what's up for me this winter?

1. Houston, Texas over Christmas. Let's some sunny weather!
2. St Louis for Urbana Conference- the mega big conference in North America for the entire world! Let's experience it!
3. Miami, Florida- Let's catch more warmth before heading back to freezing cold Illinois. Woo, there's a nude beach?!! o.0 haha, of course it's not for me. ;)
4. Washington DC to visit SY. It's time to warm the heart. eewww, did i just say that? :P
5. Illinois. Home sweet home. And the same old last minute trick- classes would start in abt 15hrs' time. :) Time to study hard after a month of hardcore play. :)

where are you?

Clarissa needs to blog more often before she is being forgotten by her friends. She promises to blog once her finals are over in 2.5weeks' time.

Oh gosh, why is it 1am already? :( back to work..

heyoyo!

Hello, I'm back to blogging! Have been either busy or lazy to do it since my summer break!

So, life has not been too unexpected, the same busy life back on campus. A typical boring engineering kid's life. :P While I think I should participate in more clubs and perhaps even find a job, none of these seem to come through. I am actually happy with having some personal time to myself. Be it just lazing around, or watch dramas and stuff. Haha, sometimes I wonder if I am really getting old, somehow my level of energy for other people seems to have diminished. Now, I like to have a simple, less-packed life, leaving some time for me to "nuah". Maybe the past few years have already drained off my energy reserves. :P

Then here comes another viewpoint on "maximizing my college life". Especially given that I am already in the U.S., it would be good to work with both Americans and possibly other international students on various projects and/or activities.

Anyway, i have moved into an apartment with 3 other girls. It has really been a good learning, and tiring, experience. Life is no longer so simple, as you have about 5 different bills to pay, do your own groceries almost weekly, cook and WASH your own dishes, my number 1 hated chore. Almost all the time, I would be the one cooking, and my roommates would wash, but the downside of this is that cooking takes up way too much of my time. So it's either I wash, which takes up less time but i don't like doing, or i cook, something I like, but simply too time-consuming. Furthermore, I realised it's not much cheaper to stay in the apartment afterall, and there is definitely way less social life with other people. Therefore, my verdict: I am going to move back into the dorm next academic year.
