stale bread

I apologize - I haven't been blogging properly lately. I feel like I have nothing significant to write. A lot of things have been going on in my life - family, work, church, clubs, personal life. It feels like I'm trapped in a vortex and although I love the thrill of it, I feel a little lost. I realize how important it is to step out of your life sometimes and just look.

December's already here; 2010 is almost here. It's a little cliche but I think this is one of the first years I've been thinking hard about the past year.

3 Things I Accomplished
1. Went out and became more involved in my community/school
2. Read a lot more books than I've read in a while
3. Definitely spent a lot more time with close friends

3 Things I Learned About Myself
1. I don't want a clingy boy. I wouldn't mind an arranged marriage
2. I needs lists to motivate myself to do things; I'm obsessed with organizers
3. I definitely don't spend enough time for my friends

3 Things I Would Have Done Differently
1. Make a lot more new friends
2. Take care of my body/health a lot more
3. Spend more time with grandparents

my iron giant

i LOVE this movie.

right now, i'm feeling...
not overwhelmed but in awe at how much I'm going to have to do for the next term
it's a little daunting, i must admit
i feel like i'm watching a madwoman sign up for all these things
that madwoman is your's truly
i feel like the things i have to do is as big as the iron giant




yet i love that feeling of being overwhelmed
to the point where you have to stop, re-prioritize and then execute with maximum efficiency.




미쳤구만

my christmas wishlist

This is mainly for my parents if they were to stumble by chance across my blog that they might see this and it might give them ideas *hint hint* har har

1. iphone

The more and more I read about it (i've read the user's manual already), the more I really want it. I love how everything is in one place and it's so... PRACTICAL... a data phone would be ideal but not necessary *dreamy sigh*

2. netbook

samsung just came out with a really NICE netbook (I believe they came out with a laptop too) which i would love to take to class instead of my current laptop which has the battery life of 30 minutes *shakes fist*

3. flipHD

I saw this on a stillmotion video - one of the brides got it from her bridesmaid as a gift. Seeing how my current camcorder can't transfer to the computer, this would be a fun gift but slightly expensive and probably unnecessary...




usually, i'd buy these for myself.... but see my previous post T_T
oh the sad life of a student

where did the ________ go???

Time
Crap! It's already December 10th. I've done a lot this past term, but still - this term year has gone by crazy quickly.

Goals I accomplished:
- read 3 books
- go to Urbana (well not technically but it's all paid for)
- take initiative at work

Goals I still have time to accomplish:
- study the book of james
- watch 10 good movies (currently at 4)
- organize my iTunes
- go to 1 festival in toronto

Goals I need to reassess/failed
- get through my mcat book on my own (I think I need to make a more intense plan for this one)
- finish my work term report before december (HAH - more like before january now)

Money
I checked my bank account last night and I officially don't have enough to pay my tuition and residence fees. I love my textbooks but I'm thinking of selling them. I don't get OSAP. I'm desperately looking for scholarships or grants I can get. Apparently you can't get the textbook grant if you don't have OSAP. Damn money.
