let me try this blogging thing again...

mood: peeved and tired
music: rain falling on a tin roof

Hokay, it seems like I haven't been posting lately, even though I had pledged myself to do so on a more frequent basis; hence, why I am posting now. I might just be getting used to a more active posting schedule, or I could just be running out of ideas. Dunno. Here goes.

There has been quite a lot of commotion on campus for the past few weeks, intensifying in preparation for the grand, long-awaited opening of the publicity stunt that is EMPAC. Pathways have been paved over, bridges have been burned, random trees have been mercilessly and unceremoniously cut down to make room for college/park-o-topia, and relationships have been tested and stressed. Case in point: the other day, for no apparent reason, the powers that be have decided to cut down two beautiful trees in front of the Playhouse, leaving two bare, shameful stumps. And what do they put on top, just to make it look pretty? A pot of mums. WTF? Seriously, what gives? What sort of reason could one give to justify cutting down two valuable, beautiful trees that add to the appeal of campus, only to be replaced by a pot of mums? It also seems that whoever is commanding the selective decimation of trees has no sense of symmetry at all. I'm sure that any architecture person/visual arts person/appreciator of good design can attest to this. Without it, things appears out of proportion and imbalanced, creating a sense of unease in the viewer. Opposite of what EMPAC wants, but whatever.

In other news, classes are meh. I might drop physical chemistry, due to sheer laziness on my part. There is no final exam, so everything counts. And I have a nasty habit of not doing homework when it doesn't have to be handed in. My other classes are just dandy (if you have a sarcasm-o-meter, it would have gone off just now): biochemistry tests every other week, physics giving me grief two looooong nights a week, a cannon barrel doomed to fail, and organic chemistry actually being of interest this time around. Did I mention that there's a career fair coming up this weekend? And that I am petrified of career fairs?

By the way, I am planning to cart over my notes from facebook onto here, in a series of posts, very soon, when I have the time. I have organic chem lecture in eight, so I must close.

再見.
