YES YES YES!!! 2/3 of the way done w/ EXAMS!!!
Physics exam today was alright.. it was as bad as I thought it was, but I guess I managed to study enough to answer all of the problems except for one. xD
That being said, I can't wait for tomorrow (after my calc exam that is) and then I can go downtown and play. Thurs. I'm getting my hair cut (I need it). Then, it's off to home sweet home.

| temper tantrum days |
[Nov 06 2008 8:04pm] |
Today was one of those days where its a bit of a wake-up call... I didn't finish my physics hw and I only got a B+ on my last hum paper. BLARGH. Wanted to both cry and at the same time throw a temper tantrum... I know I'm not 2, but once again I feel like it. But back to the wake up call... I guess I need to manage my time more efficiently and study harder, with the emphasis on the time management part.
Was so absented minded that I didn't realize the carrots I left in my fridge earlier this week were bad and started munching on them. I didn't realize it until I picked up one carrot and it was literally mush. ewwww I really hope I don't get sick from it, can't afford being sick right now.
on a different topic, I'm still apparently ethnically ambiguous. I got mistaken for Japanese again.. lol

I'm going to eat dinner (a substantial one too!) today... enough said
So just an update on Chicago.... It's fucking miserable, not miserable in a "oh my fuck I want to kill myself... I'm so emo" way (although if you say anything like that the administration takes it very seriously and will promptly send you to counseling). It's miserable in a "I've been very diligent in doing my work/have no social life because of it, but still can't seem to get my work done" way.... and then on top of that misery I caught a small cold about 2 weeks ago and its developed into this monstrous phlegmy onslaught of a flu because I haven't quite had sufficient rest/nutrients to get better. Instead I've been trying to stave it off w/ tea and vit. C tablets, fruit and cereal/other nonperishable foods..
Yet despite the sickness, misery, not quite meshing well w/ my roommates, I'm still glad to be here. I think I must be a sadist.

| I've got bruises on my knees for you |

I've been in Chicago for about 4 weeks. I do like it here, I really do (or at least I've done a very good job at fooling myself I want to be here).
The workload is not as bad as they say. The classes move at a bit of a faster pace, which is mainly attributed to the fact we're on a quarter system.
The only thing about this place that I haven't quite come to terms with is how lonely it can get. Whether this is because I'm homesick or I've lost the desire to be solitary, I'm not quite sure. I know that as long as I keep my priorities straight I can stand the loneliness, but sometimes I wish I had the abandon to go out on a Friday night with not a care in the world, get drunk and party. But unfortunately I'm not that type of person, and in the end I don't think it would solve my loneliness problem. It's nice that there is one person here for me, but in the end I can't ask her to baby me every single time I get lonely. She's got a life.
As a result I think I'm starting to drown myself in work. I'm starting w/ a job soon, I'm taking more than a full course schedule, I'm doing a sport, and hopefully I'll soon be involved with a school publication. On top of that I wanted to do an art appreciation club. I think I'll be okay. It took me a while to fit in even in high school, I guess it's the same way here.

Today I met a guy from Georgia (the country). With all the events that have happened there, talking to him gave me some perspective. When you think it's bad, it could be a lot worse.
