Q

1.

Still find myself stuck with my old mermaid hair habits – and then hitting blanks when i attempt to flip/ sweep/ adjust now non-existent hair. Although.. am coming to terms with the fact that I look like a (pretty) five-year-old Japanese boy everyone has a secret crush on. Yeah.

PASSION PIT

Wasn’t the best concert, frankly, but still – it’s Passion Pit. And therefore still fantastic. They are geniuses, and I can’t find a song in Gossamer I don’t like. Come to think of it, I can’t find any song of theirs I don’t like.

I’ll tell you something strange about uni.

You can simultaneously spend a lot more time with friends, and yet feel lonely more often. I don’t mean being alone. I like being alone. But living on campus is like being a panopticon of sorts… you feel like you’re always being watched, or held accountable, and so you’re never really alone (which i like to be). Instead, you’re somewhere but by yourself – which makes me feel acutely lonely at times.

I am very busy.

Studying.

Yes I know it’s only the second week… but the workload oh Lord. I’ve never spent so much time on a single piece of homework. I’ve never actually had to think so hard for any assignment, not even math. Because there’s no formula or right way of doing it, I just have to exercise them neuron links which I haven’t for a long time. I may be slighhhhtly over-taxed but k. I CAN DO THIS. My eyes hurt all the time.

Got a role in this year’s EMCC for NUStage! More on it another time.

6.

I love familiar places but am too exhausted to enjoy them fully. And also, shopping is my therapy. Now that I’ve sworn not to buy any clothes (for at least six months after the BKK spree), I’m splurging on books and boooooks why you so lovely and why I so little time to molest y’all properly.

I’m trying my best to make sure I spend some time with everyone I really am!

So tired all the time but reverse insomnia still persists. Every morning at 6:37am sharp I wake up and cannot fall back asleep.
