into the swing of things

mood: (yawn) :-)
music: follow me - uncle kracker

Ahhh, nothing like some good yoga at 7am, facing the sunrise, after an all-nighter. It ushers in the day, and energizes the body into action and alertness. My view from the Phalanx room is stunning: dark clouds, from rains the night before, pass lazily by, creating cracks through which rays of sunshine diffuse and eventually break, casting daylight onto the old green trees, rustling lazily in the early fall breeze. Beautiful.

The school season has finally started. It had started weeks ago, but I knew it was in full force with the start of admissions tours: the daily passing of college-hopefuls, led by their knowledgeable, expert-at-walking-backwards tour guide dressed in RPI red, through the Quad and and around campus. Every time I see it, I can't help but sigh: that used to be me, a loooooong time ago.

Unfortunately for me, the year has finally kicked in- in my schedule's nuts. I am already swamped with stuff this early in the year: three tests this week, and at least one test every week for the next month or so. The first one, tomorrow, is physical chemistry, and I am not looking forward to it at all. The other two, biochemistry and organic chemistry, I can deal with, since they are of infinitely greater interest. But physical chemistry, I will never understand. I don't think I was ever made to understand thermodynamics or work with van der Waals gases or exact differentials or anything that fancy. Frankly, I'll be better off not worrying so much and just take life as it is.

Speaking of life, I really should start blogging more. I keep feeling that each entry should be some major work of literature, like it should be of yay length and revised multiple times. But that's not how it should be, and that's what I'll try to avoid from now on. Multiple shorter entries per week is what I am aiming for. Starting now.

再见。
