another xiong week has gone by. gosh, i wonder how many more of this i can take.
and it looks like it's only going to get worse.
i keep saying, can't believe slope day is this coming friday! the semester is ending!! i think i am gg to miss Ichikawa sensei (and her Yuki-chan!), Tom, and Ankush, who I am alr used to seeing almost everyday since last semester!
this semester is crazily fast-paced. i didn't have time to slump into depression, unlike last semester.
i'm admitted into the Kyuushu U summer program, but no scholarship/grant to attend it. Tom, who kindly wrote the recommendation for me, seemed so genuinely happy for me when i told him. But my parents want me to stay at home as long as possible. sighz. guess i have to give it a miss.
remedy to study stress: shopping. remedy to study stress
in Cornell:
online shopping. oh yes, i did it again, spending another $100+ at VS :P well, not all's for me though keke ;)
buying any apparel online involves taking a risk. either they fit, or they don't, then you will lose on transaction costs (shipping charges, time wasted on going to post office). even if they fit, how do you know they fit best, compared to other sizes/colors/design? it's too much money and time to order different sizes and colors then return them (unless you buy on Zappos and have both way free shipping ahaha) So although i am so into online shopping now, i am aware tt each purchasing decision i make is not necessarily a perfectly-informed one.
wait a min, doesn't that sound like dating? LOL...
in any case, i just dragged a rather unwilling yx out for a brief walk cuz the weather is just too good. haha. cuz you see, the sun has been a slacker the past week, MIA-ing since its brief honorable return last weekend. walking ard the gorges/creek and random wild flowers under the sun is pretty nice heh heh. makes me wish that ithaca has only one season.
and junch picked a good day to hold a house bbq! looking forward to the good food in 1hr's time! yums!
So on almost every blog i read/came upon by chance, almost everyone in spore has/is going to watch
phantom of the opera (which is extended only up till the day before i touched down on spore grrr). so has everyone in london. so has yx. I swear I will watch it at Broadway before i leave this place, even if I have to watch it alone or pay full-priced tix. grrr.
