Welcoming Back the Collegiate Life







School has resumed! I still don't have a computer. I am in good spirits. I can not complain.

And where'd all our 7DAC folks go? I miss seeing all your lovely photography, folks!

cygnet

Due to computer complications, as usual, I'm unable to directly upload a recent picture. So, I've just picked an old one off of my flickr. I took it in Ireland a few years ago (:

busy


Last Monday, I had a great blunder. I spilled tea on my laptop, and keyboard is almost dead. (the other functions are okay)
So, I decided to get a new laptop and I was busy doing setup it for a few days... totally I'm lacking of sleep now. ah!

The Last Day of a Free Man




School finally begins for me again, tomorrow. I can't say I'm particularly enthused. Here's to hoping it goes much better than last year.

Technicalities




Excuse the delay! It seems I am wrought with technical difficulties, as my computer has decided to go totally wonky. It's in the repairshop at present. Alas. I tell myself I'm supposed to be on vacation until the 19th anyway. I suppose this is a fair reason to forego responsibilities. I am happy now, and very grateful that I am.

Fortune Slip


I paid a visit to a shrine this Monday. We call the first visit of the year to a shrine is "初詣/ Hatsumoude". I picked a fortune slip(おみくじ / Omikuji) there, which predicted good f
ortune for me. Then I tied up my fortune slip to the rope and I hope 2010 will be nice year.

_________

I only have one more week off before I go back to school. I'm dropping a course, biology, because I don't want to be taking 18 credits, and also because I'd be taking 5 university courses & one language course through the community. Which is too much, since I also need a job. Oh! And also because I don't want to wake up at 5 in the morning in order to make it to lab on time. Biology sounds loads stressful. Oh, life decisions!

SQ28m


Happy new year everyone!
I had an impulse buying at the end of the year. SQ28m(pokedigi).. it's my new toy digital camera. I thought I would not buy a new camera for a while though!

I think this is better than VQ1015 ENTRY, except it has terrible time-lag to be taken a photo from once pressing a shutter button...

Page, Turned




This year has been progressing very strangely so far. Strange in a very good way. I foresee things getting incredibly stressful for me, no doubt starting sometime this week. But I have my best friend. Thus, I have faith. At this moment, I couldn't be happier.

Fireworks

In Sydney we welcome the New Year with a very grand Fire Works display on the harbour. This is a very typical New Years picture, but I like it because behind the camera my friends and I were all together, celebrating the beginning of the new year. It was a great night, and it was wonderful being with all my lovely friends. Happy New Year to everyone!

in the future, in the past, now the present

I thought about this topic for sort of a long time, and about how I might be able to photograph the past year. And then I remembered this photo which I took sometime last January or Febuary for a school assignment, and suddenly everything just fell together.

2009 was not a great year, but at the same time, it was fairly productive. I feel like this was the year when I really started identifying who I am. I'm unfriendly, anti-social. I'm ambitious and trusting. I'm faithful, I'm always sad. I'm an emotional cripple, a dreamer. I'm two different people sometimes. My eyes are harsh but my smile is friendly....too bad I never smile. I'm unopinionated, I'm lazy, I'm honest and blunt. I'm creative. People really do not know me. At all. They all think I'm shy and emo. Wrong. But they all think they know me anyway, so I think they're jerks for thinking so. Did that make sense? Probably not. That's another thing, I can never put words to my thoughts. I spent the past year looking into the past, thinking about who I used to be, how I changed. I thought about my family and how I've never met many of the members, but how I live everyday loving them and trying to make them proud. It's funny because I spent 2008 living in the future, 2009 living in the past. Maybe in 2010 I will live in the present and maybe I will find it more fitting for me.

2010


the new year is like starting with a clean slate. it's a time for setting goals, reminiscing on the past, and clearing our minds in preparation for what's to come.

reflecting: for me 2009 was a blur. i think i changed without changing much. it doesn't make sense, but it's true. i'm the same person but a little more grown up. i think 2009 was just a preparation for 2010 and beyond!
projecting: i have a few goals for 2010. i want to get outside every day, launch my etsy and my blog, spend less time on the computer, and establish a real wardrobe for myself. i am really looking forward to the things ahead, like finishing high school and starting college in a new city. bring it on!

what are your goals for the future?
