Its that time of the year where everything which could happen at any time just so happens to hit all of a sudden, creating a massive collision of projects, papers, group failures, lack of sleep, and desire to stop existing all coincide.
I am writing this while taking a brain-rest from a paper. Its ~Noon on 11/21 (Sun) now. I have:
HIST Reading+Quiz (Tues), Philosophy 8pg paper and presentation (Tues), Chinese Sociology (Final), Visual Culture Project (Wed). all this coming week. Add in not even starting some of that, and failed group work...makes things tough. Either way, When its over its over, and hopefully my liver can handle the consequences.
Its fair to say I'm rather flustered now. Fortunately though I just found a band called
Fleet Foxes, and I feel their amazing! Blue Ridge Mountains and Quiet Houses are my favorite songs by far. Listening to them on repeat while I do all my work.

Went on a Sociology Field Trip on Sat (11/20/10), really neat. New Territories for temples, then to the HK Cultural Museum and lastly a Shrine where I burnt lots of incense.

I'm going to Japan right before finals! A few days in Tokyo sounds amazing.
Leave 12/2 at 12:30 PM. Arrive Beijing at 3:40PM. Leave 4:40 to Tokyo-Narita.
Leave 12/6 Hanida at 1:50PM. Arrive Beijing 4:50PM, leave at 6:30pm, get to HK at 10:05PM.
Then I have 2 days to cram for my Chinese Philosophy test, then 2 more for Medical Econ. Both classes I have negative outlooks, but oh well? Achieving some Zen takes effort, and the likely grade-dip will be worth the experience and likely ulsers I'll get over them.
I plan to goto the Ramen museum and purchase a few Japanese School Girl mini-skirts and some other ridiculous things there, mostly for pranks.
Before I go, a picture of me. Since I do not have ego issues at all and am not a narcissist...

ReplyDeleteThat makes more sense now, however this is the first British sign I have seen.

Insider info: You can get school girl skirts at Don Quixote ^__^
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Tokyo! There are plenty of temples for you to search for zen in, let me know if you want recommendations.
How much do the skirts go for ($US)?
ReplyDeleteI'll try. Really prefer the temple look in Japan over that of China. The closer to Tokyo the better
