Here's a ticket for speeding

Just three days into school and already I'm feeling so tired. I'm uncertain as to whether it's just because I have yet to get used to this academic way of life once more or I'm probably harboring some anonymous extra psychological baggage. Or maybe it's just the weather? It's so hard sometimes to pinpoint these things. It takes time to probe and before you know it, time has ran out on you... you've probably fallen behind on your required readings as well.

A second remains a second; a minute is a minute. I don't quite understand how life became so fast paced. Five hours of sleep seems like a 30 minute nap to me these days. If there's speed reading, there's speed living -- and this is where the beautiful gets lost.

I'm writing myself secret letters

I guess my first day of class would've been a bit more lively if I had seen some beloved familiar faces who I've missed a lot over the summer. The two classes I had today were core subjects, meaning I was a stranger in a sea of semi-strangers. Being a shiftee made me a bit of a loner. Not that it's something I loathe. I'm fine. Just a bit lonely... or antisocial. Whichever, I'm missing the company of certain people.

I've got blisters on my feet from varsity training this eve. It's painful to walk. I take it as a sign I have to get used to the run of things now that school's back on, and fast.

Do Somethin Crazy

Five minutes 'til my last day of summer comes to a close. It feels like time flew faster than usual. It flapped its wings in a craze.



My college life only came close to this song in my freshman year. I hope to come full circle this year, it being my last!

Because I feel like sharing

Hello, first semester senior schedule! I can't believe I'll be getting out of college in less than a year. Hello real world, hello work and crucial tipping points.

Bringing back something new

Ever since my brothers came back home from the States, they've been on a musical journey. Mihali is teaching himself guitar, learning some piano pieces, and taking up his harmonica. Juancho is learning some piano pieces as well. Seeing how they're going through these instruments pretty well (they are both actually very good) makes me want to learn how to play the piano all over again!

I took piano lessons waaay back in my life (around kindergarten and a few years in grade school) and watching my brothers learn music inspired me to try and relearn what I've lost. I've printed out a few music sheets already, all that's left now is to learn how to play them. My note reading skills are not what they used to be and my hands are as stiff as steel... I guess I'll just have to keep on practicing!
