Academic subcultures = pure annoyance

I haven’t been updating this blog, and you might think I have abandoned it. I haven’t; it’s just that the workload of late has been rather problematic. Technically, it shouldn’t be a lot. I have two essays of two thousand words each, and a report of a thousand words. I can type an average of

Bleurgh…no title today

My tricycle arrived today. It’s the type of blue that I like, and after a few rounds, I got rather good at it. Now I just have to pluck up the courage to actually ride it out onto more open roads. My mother keeps on nagging me to get ‘real life’ friends, but it’s so

A Romantic Ride on a Tricycle

I went a bought a tricycle today; not the type for small children, but an adult-sized tricycle. It’s going to take the place of my car, not that I had one in the first place. I had intended to actually learn to drive, but there are many reasons for me not to drive. Firstly, cars

The mini-philosopher in me.

I just finished my essay, but I’m getting a sense of doom, possibly because I feel that my essay is horrid. It always happens though; I finish a piece of writing (done in a style with which I am not familiar) and I am very insecure about it. I get reassured when others tell me

A little boat in a storm.

Real life seems to be overwhelming me at the moment. I’m like a wee boat in a storm out on the ocean. The waves surge around me, wild and menacing, and there is no land in sight. As soon as I sail over one wave, another one comes at me. I just have to hold

A Random Bout of Typing.

I’m feeling rather good about myself at the moment. I was not rushing around trying to get everything done this morning, and I wrote a decent amount, so I’m pretty proud of myself, actually, since in the mornings, I’m generally not motivated to do anything. I also finished one essay in the weekend, so that might

Christian Bale and World Events

No, I’m not going to blog about Christian Bale and his life; that’s his business. Truth be told, I’m more interested in the newspaper itself. It’s very interesting actually. Notice how the headline about Mr. Bale has a bigger font than the one about the man who did something nasty with a bulldozer? Moreover, the

Banning Junk Food — The Embodiment of Futility.

The other day, my brother told me about how in his high school (which was my high school) has banned the sale of junk food in the school canteen. The canteen has a monopoly on the student’s food expenditure as students are not permitted out of school grounds during school hours, and that includes lunchtime.

Good intentions amount to nothing.

You know, I had every intention of reading my history textbooks and going over my notes today. Knowing me, it didn’t happen. I was too busy reading and replying to my reviews (that was during late morning and early afternoon), and then once again, I’m stuck to the computer screen. It’s just that the internet

Idiots and…wise people?

The other day, I was making up a statement concerning freedom and wisdom and I needed a group noun for wise and smart people. Being the relatively studious sort of person, I went and got my Oxford Thesaurus off my bookshelf and tried to look for something which would suit. One of the few words I knew

Just life, really.

Well, I actually managed to get up in the morning today, and then wasted all the time online. Honestly, I feel as if I am addicted to the internet. The first thing I do when I get up is go on the computer and see who’s online. It’s sad, actually. A lot of time should actually

End of holidays…and I haven’t done anything.

It’s the end of the mid-year break, and I have to say, I haven’t done anything except sleep, and feud with people on the internet (but that’s counted as doing nothing, because we’re all bark and no bite). I just found that MST’s and parodies of other people’s bad writing have been banned on the

Restlessness sans Reason

You know those days when you feel totally restless, and you’re in a bad mood but you don’t know why? Well, I feel like that today, although I think I know why; the reason is so irrational that it can’t really be counted as a reason though. In fact, I shouldn’t really care, but there’s this
