happy birthday, my friend

I didn't attend my friend's birthday celebration despite being so sampat and keep asking another two friends of mine about the preparation. I was working on the cheat sheet for tomorrow's exam (which is the class which I've stopped listening to what the lecturer's saying) and stayed in the library till around 9:15pm, while the celebration started at around 8:30pm. I knew I was going to be late. I asked the people what was going on now, but was ignored once again. I wonder why. Then I decided not to ask anything, bought my roommate's french fries, returned to my hall and took a bath and rest.

I have to admit I like my sports skills class. I went back to my hall after the class and showered. I had instant cheese bokki for lunch while waiting for my laundry. Tbh, I didn't really like it that much. It was just... ok? Whatever. At around 2pm, I decided that I need to go to the library or else I'm never going to finish revising. (apparently it's a good decision)

I had dinner with the seniors (and some friends). I was a little upset when I wasn't that close to the seniors compared to my friends. The seniors talk and respond to my friends but all I could do is just shut up and eat. I felt a little left out but it was fine after all. I didn't have meals as frequent as my friends, so I have nothing to blame. I know that my seniors are all friendly people.

"We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves.We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again -- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more." 

-Writer Pico Iyer

A nice piece of quote taken from a talk registration webpage. I really wanted to register for the talk, but the talks are mostly held at late evenings. I registered for the talk. Don't you just love the quote?

I seemed to be a little down since a few days ago. I wonder if it's the stress or the hormones which are causing this change. But melancholy sucks. I miss home so badly. Can't wait for my finals timetable to be released.

Good night.
