After 108 university credit hours (12 credits to go) and 4 years in university, I should say, man, I really do love to hurt myself. LOL.
Four more exams. Currently writing my take home exam due today (to be submitted via e-mail). Nakakatamad.
Am in the process of writing the first draft of my essay for ASIA2670. I’m writing about Murakami Haruki. It feels weird that I am actually picking on one of the authors that I like, but hey, maybe this is the way I show my appreciation towards his works. But to tell the truth it’s a bit difficult writing about him and his books because my thoughts are, apparently, differ from what a majority of his fans think. They see him as a postmodern writer, but I don’t really see him as such. Siguro baka magtaka ang mga tao when they learn that I see Murakami as a traditional Japanese writer (even though I know that he is influenced by Western authors). Basta, ibubuhos ko na lang ‘to sa paper.
12 more requirements (including 3 final exams on the 3rd week of April). I still have to go over a bunch of readings (particularly in 3 classes) kasi masipag ako, ha ha! Hay. Gusto ko nang matapos ‘to. Dito dumadating yung time na kahit ano na lang basta matapos na, pero kapag nakakuha naman ako ng “kahit ano na lang” na grade, saka naman papasok sa isip ko ang “shit, I could have done better.” The thing is, hindi na ‘to puwedeng mag-work kasi wala na akong time para gumawa ng better pagkatapos ng exams. Hay naku. So. At the moment, may 250ml of Red Bull sa dugo ko, at sana matapos ko yung assignment para ma-cut ko na yung readings (kasi test ko din sa isang klase sa Thursday, so ‘pag nabasa ko na lahat ‘to, konti na lang).
Ang boring ng Distance Education class ko (not the course but the way I’m taking it). Sobrang dry, puwedeng de-humidifier.
I haven’t been taking any art photos lately. And this is bad because for one, I haven’t tried my new lens (Nikon AF-S DX 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED) yet. And because I have a very, very tight schedule, I actually have no idea if I have time to shoot! Spring break’s not until next month, but hopefully I’ll be able to squeeze in some time.
A goal that was accomplished right on time. I got the letter from the Citizenship and Immigrations Canada. I’ll be taking my oath of citizenship on Tuesday, 22 January. Which means in two weeks’ time, I’ll be a Canadian Citizen. There’s no turning back.
School starts tomorrow! Last semester ko na bukas, so I’m pretty excited. Last chance to reform myself and my academic-related… stuff. Haha!
