My First Summer

Has been interesting.

Things I've done:

• Worked 4.5 hours straight at the help desk
• Looked at the July 4th fireworks
• Went to see Cirque du Soleil
• Got an all time low exam grade
• Been to a water park
• Played Mass Effect
• Microprogramming in assembly
• Handled moving out from an apartment
• Went to Taste of Chicago
• Walked into endless swarms of gnats
• Wished I could spray all gnats into extinction
• Read books

Alas, summer will soon end. Fall will bring new things and people and experiences I'm not sure I want. But o well. Game time.

Bullet points for contemplation

Safe to say, this place has become a desert. Obvious situation aside, some observations:

1. Weekends, like happiness, is a myth
   
2. Sunscreen is NOT overrated
   
3. Feelings are overrated
   
4. One can never have too many pairs of shoes (or bags)
   
5. Star Trek is awesome
   
6. Over-exposure to global news is bad
   
7. I am going on leave soon and I can't wait

heart beating like a hammer

My tyre punctured last night. I am listening to Metric's Twilight Galaxy in the office. My mental block is a nuisance. I wish I could wear my red sneakers all day. I have no yellow shirts in my closet. Why is that weird? A girlfriend recently got married. I did my hair on the day and nearly everyone thought it was a wig. Exploring Cambodia this year seems vital for some reason. No one warned me growing up would be this tough - I'm not alright, right now. We can be anything we want. I will put away my memories for later.

I eez hungry laaa

I've got a packet of hati buyah on my table. Please don't ask me to explain which bovine part it is exactly or I'll lose my taste for it. But right now, being this peckish, I think I'd eat just about any animal organ. It's supposedly the lung. But I tell myself it's a really well done steak. Reaaaally well done. Our department secretary asked who was interested in a 100g for $5 pack this morning - I raised my hand. I thought she'd bring it in tomorrow. But right after lunch she popped by my desk and handed it to me, "Nah! Nyaman baunya eh" (read: "It smells awesome!").

It's 4.25pm and I AM HUNGRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. Darn those light salad lunches. I need a real meal. Bring in the cows.
