11:04 a.m. today marked the end of spring quarter--as well as the end of sophomore year (by time, not units)--for me. During my Literary Los Angeles final this morning, I felt that although I was physically there, twisting in my swivel chair, I was mentally absent. Upon receiving the exam prompts, I thought, "Hey, this … Continue reading Reflections: Spring Quarter →

For some reason,I often am afraid that I don't matter as much to some people as they do to me....So I don't know whether I should care so much about them.Yet, I continue to.

I just spent nearly two hours playing Draw My Thing on OMGPop. Of course, I should have been doing homework that I neglected the first six weeks of this quarter. But of course, I did not do what I should have. Oh, me, oh my.This weekend, I have been continually going back and forth between … Continue reading Yawn →

Sometimes, I like to start my day by listening to this positively upbeat song while walking down the Hedrick stairway on the way to work at the law school. Although I did not start my day with this song today because I didn't have work in the morning (and woke up at 11:05, yay!), I … Continue reading Good Day →

I cannot wait for today to be over so I can be done with the poli sci midterm (for which I still need to study) and just sleep.

I just finished a cup of clam chowder with two slices of wheat bread and a carton of apple juice, and boy, am I full. For several hours, I debated between Asian food from Rendezvous and clam chowder from Bruin Cafe, and at last decided on the latter because I realized that my immune system … Continue reading Clam Chowder →

As much as I would like to think that I am a "verbal artist" or an "engineer of words," there are times like these, when all of the thoughts that run through my mind simply cannot be articulated in text. Everything makes sense--or doesn't--in my head, but once I sit down with the intention of … Continue reading Things Words Cannot Express →
