... yeah, I think I'm going to become a hermit one day and train a flock of messenger owls. It'll be Harry Potter, only without the magic.

"I studied as if my life was on the line, but my grades did not get higher. I wanted to earn good grades too, but my mother spewed out insults in front of all my relatives. My pride was broken. The social structure of Korea which only emphasizes education is wrong. We need to acknowledge the fact that diversity of different types of learning is important too. I don’t want to live in this kind of world anymore. I want to do other things too, but being pressured to only study… I don’t like that. I want to escape from this society that judges and assesses human beings by their grades. I want to be reborn as an American. I’m going first to meet Steve Jobs. Mom, Dad, please. At least let my younger sibling be able to do what they truly want to the fullest. I have one last request. Please bury me with my iPod and stuffed teddy bear."
things like this make me so very glad I was born in America

[absurdity] I should just give in an become a lawyer ...
... because clearly that it what life is trying to tell me. By throwing me headfirst into a pool of published court opinions more than 30 years deep. with a side of annotations to §767.56 that are updated whenever a court sets a precedent.
legalese. SO MUCH FUCKING LEGALESE. as;lkdjfh I'm swimming in god-damned legalese. And thinking in it.
I can't even write a paragraph or talk with my mom for a few minutes without making references like "... in the case of X v. X in the year 19__, where the WI [insert court here] opinioned that [insert something complicated in legalese here] and then [reversed/remanded/upheld] the trial court's judgment because it violated part of WI §767.56 and went against the precedent set by the [insert court name here] in the case of Y v. Y" and so and so forth.
I can't even go on Facebook without thinking that I need to somehow find a way to connect what I write on my friends' walls to a published court opinion.

[absurdity] - where has the year gone?
I can't believe my freshman year of college is almost over. Just two more exams and then it's time to pack and go home ...
of course, my GPA still sucks. It sucks even more, if that's possible. >.>
Drama aside, I'm seriously going to miss all my hallmates next year. At least most of us are either staying in the same dorm or opting out of the fucked-up University Housing system and moving to the same apartment building (which is conveniently very close to the dorm ...)
... I can't believe I'm going to have junior standing next year. It's not like registering for classes a few days before my year-mates makes that much of a difference - but oh dear god, there's definitely a tuition difference.
Absolutely cannot wait until Accounting 271 is finished (10:30-12:15 exam) tomorrow and Econ 102 (4-6 exam) is finished Tuesday.
And then it's goodbye Ann Arbor!
My own bed has never sounded so lovely. ♥

[absurdity] ...
I detest writer's block - the accursed thing lives to plague my every waking moment.
I've been trying to get back into the flow of writing something non-academic but instead all I have are pages and pages of notes like this
unfortunately, those notes are even less effective than the readings in my Comparative Literature class.

[absurdity] the wonders of abusive furniture
the furniture in the dorms hates me so much. ahh the joys of having skin ripped off ...
January: in which ladders decide they dislike me intensely.
[note - everything discolored = bruising. lots and lots of bruising.]
February: in which doors discover their new-found sadistic tendencies

[absurdity] of no longer being homeless
so yesterday my friend and I signed the lease for our apartment next year. seriously, it feels a bit anti-climactic. 3 full days of non-stop stress and worrying over having nowhere to live next year was over in just 2 hours?
someone give me something to do please, by the way. I have no more exams until March and I am so so bored and unmotivated. asl;dksfdj

[absurdity] or, why it is inadvisable to stay up late whilst sick
IT'S SNOWING, IT'S SNOWING, IT'S SNOWING!!!!
... if I find out that for some odd reason the few inches of snow we haveSO FAR are enough to ensure that my complit professor can't make it to class, I WILL HURT SOMEONE. SLOWLY. AND VERY PAINFULLY. because goddamnit I stayed up all night writing these peer reviews for papers on a topic I don't give a flying fuck about.
also, quasi-lying on the couch made my back ache just a bit. and I'm still grumpy because it still feels like something is preventing me from swallowing/sometimes-breathing properly.
lastly, damn my friends for being so good at guilt-tripping ;__; now I'm practically obligated to trek to UHS in the snow ...

[absurdity] a note
still alive. have been sick for the last week or so. [potential] respiratory infections are not fun.
also - i live in a den of hypocrites. we tell each other to (1) be more productive/do work/study/get the fuck off facebook and (2) GO SLEEP BITCH when we're all guilty of the same. ... i love these girls so much.
also - fuck astronomy i should have taken astrophysics. that sounds so much more fun.
also - regular eating habits would be nice please and thank you. none of this not-hunger for a few days and then rabid hunger gnawing at stomach.
also - business school app stop running away from meeeeeeeee. i know i probably won't get in, but at least let me fucking fill you out
also - i refuse to go 16+ hours without standing again. i can still hear my back cracking. i also ache in places that i didn't know could ache.
also - it feels like there is something mildly large and solid lodged in my throat. bits and pieces almost come up when i cough and then go back down, sometimes. it should go awayyyyy

[absurdity] almost
oh honors multivariable calculus, you delight in giving me no small amount of queasiness, discomfort, worry, nightmares, sleepless nights, and other assorted goods (that fall into the giant pile of "UNWELCOME" by the door).
4 more hours.
5 more chapters to learn, 4 more hours to go, 3 more note-cards to make, 2 more sips of Rockstar, and 1 caffeine pill to down with water.
maaaaaath. please be kind to me for once and do not rape. seriously. pretty please? [i spent the weekend going from basic vectors to stoke's theorem and divergence theory only to realise that at the end, i forgot my way back to the beginning. SERIOUSLY. not cool.]

[absurdity] time management?? all lies
FIRST DAY OF FINALS WEEK IS OVER. sob. it also took my brain with it. along with any lingering interest in economics. i knew starting to study for my 3rd midterm/final at 1 AM Saturday and not stopping until the exam was a bad idea.
PoliSci on the 17th.
Calc 3 on the 20th.
yeah, I'm living in the study lounges/CLC until my last exam. with a pack of caffeine pills and energy drinks and probably coffee and food delivered from restaurantsPIZZA HOUSE.
on a lighter note - I seriously love these girls!! we ordered a ton of food at like 11 so we were eating dinner after 11:30 and now there's a little blanket fort in the lounge. >D
Department of Public Security (DPS) can go fuck themselves; they said no sleeping in public places, but that doesn't include blanket forts! (The no sleeping rule is ridiculous anyways - I mean, my floor's literally the only floor with kids still down here at like 4 in the morning and there's plenty of room for everyone. And, um, we totally don't care if someone's sleeping. WE ALL DO IT.)
... I seriously think we should just claim the lounges as our new rooms. >) we live here anyways ...
