-cough- spongebob square pants so DOES NOT count as an anime. and no, i'm not watching some sponge and starfish wriggle their butts while they sing. or sth like tt. haha. anyway, how's it going joseph? update yr blog! =)

giving myself one more day of break before i take another look at my thesis and start working on some other parts of it. and i thought this sem was bad. next sem's workload for the thesis seems impossible. sigh. it seems like i'll never get a single interview, nor make any constructive analysis. but for now, i won't think of it. i'll do random stuff like stick up cards on my wall, post pictures on picasa and wonder how best to create my french memo board. maybe i'll bring it back to singapore with me and stick it on my wall so i can have familiar faces with familiar backdrops staring back at me =) nothing like photos to bring back e flood of memories.

snow storm watch tmr's been downgraded to a snow advisory. which is good. think SAD's beginning to get to me, so it'll be good to get out into californian sun and soak in a bit of warmth soon. need to thaw out. forecasts for the area says 10 degrees or so, which is going to be nice and soothing after all these -10 degree days. ahhh

apparently tampa bay's hitting 60F, which is where the outback bowl is gonna be played. GO BADGERS! it ain't showing on tv though, at least not on the air channels. sad. even though i'm going to be around, i still can't watch it. ah well. guess there's always gamecast or sth.

honestly, sh and i had it good last year when we were able to tap into the cable without actually subscribing for it. haha ah well =) why isn't espn showing it on the shared abc-espn? -wrinkle nose- and it's not even like the unions are going to be showing it, considering how they're all closed for the holidays.

anyhow, it's kinda weird not actually having anything to do. it's... relaxing. but also slightly mind numbing. i miss my friends. and i'm seriously tempted to hole up at home. which explains the more active effort to meet the remaining here for dinners. after all, i do need to finish up the beef in my fridge before i leave.

on the other hand, i do enjoy this quiet time i have alone. it's such a change from the semester - just a time to be alone and to do my own thing. shall go hang out at indie cafe on sat and try and get work done. or maybe read thru e readings i skipped haha. and just talk it out, with God :) seriously, the best company in the whole world. no, make that the whole universe.

ah random ruminations and disjointed ramblings. feels almost like my words are like a travelling nomad that wanders all over the paper but yet ends up nowhere. only this time, it's all electronically done.

do you know they have a ghirardelli factory place thingie in san fran? we're gonna hit it man haha.

i guess the perk abt being a senior is that you are more willing to spend a bit more on enjoy things, food, activities etc since there's only so little time left before it's goodbye for good. and i guess being a senior gives you a little more means to do that =)

again, i'm wandering everywhere and nowhere. ahh this was a totally senseless, meaningless post. but i guess it kinda shows how i feel now - relaxed with no datelines looming. (ok, so there is a huge worry that my prof has forgotten me, but yes. haha)

ah, i should check the student portal. hmm potential for mood-spoilers... had recurring dreams yesterday that i had completely screwed up and ended up with Bs. woke up from that, just to fall back to sleep and dream the exact same thing again. haven't had such dreams since before getting A level results. oh well, suck it in and move on. and most of all, leave it at His feet. =) Your will, above all else.
