meeting deadlines

oh man my last post was eons ago!!! okok here's the gist of my weekend :) pictures will come later!!
T.G.I. friday! super slack day of the week. woke up to utada hikaru's "flavour of life", heard keith murmuring over the phone, "do you want to go san fran? yes no? get ready in 10 minutes!". well those who know me well enough would understand why i declined this enticing offer to go san fran and play. i clearly could not get dressed and look decent in under 10 minutes!
drifted back to slumberland. cut short by another phone call! this time by stephen, who needed a bed to sleep in since jon and renee wrecked his own. changed the sheets and gave up my bed :(
frat party: heaven and hell. decided to watch pan's labyrinth instead. excellent movie!! though stephen and i were initally surprised that the movie was in spanish.....crashed back to pansy's room, which has turned into a place where people congregate at to sober up. yeah jon came back from the party, insisting he wasn't drunk. well i personally think he was high cos he was spouting a LOT of nonsense. his hair was hella cool that night. hair wax plus hair spray, really do wonders.

saturday: yummy pancakes at iHop. there was this formal (kindof like prom, US style) at freeborn hall. tickets were sold out. so i hung out at the dorm instead. watched the departed. BEST PICTURE! though the script is a rip-off from infernal affairs. got bored so renee stephen and i decided to dress up as though we were heading to the formal as well. yeah that's how bored we really were.....

sunday: janice stopped over the dorm to drop off some corona and captain morgan's. cant believe the legal drinking age here is 21. thank goodness i have the necessary connections :)


oooh k here's one picture that was taken 3 weeks ago. we headed to a friend's apartment to chill out :) fun times!

'come live with me and be my love'

alright my Tuesday and Thursday mornings are spent soaking up all the wisdom from my English professor. seriously I never thought that learning about prose and poetry could be this interesting. Some new literary terms I’ve learnt:
iamb
trochee
spondee
phyrric
annapest
dactyl
it does sound like a really technical literature course huh. well I managed to learn a new way to dissect poems. Remember back in secondary school, we would have to analyse each stanza and try to interpret it. Haha for this class, the first lesson on poetry was learning how to read a poem in a really technical manner, in other words working out the ‘stressed’ and ‘unstressed’ syllables present and figuring out if the poem is trimeter or quadmeter etc.

oooh I learnt another new thing today!
Adidas actually stands for something!
All Day I Dream About Soccer!
Cool huh! ☺ ok I think that’s about all I have to say for now. Will rack my brains for more interesting things to post here.
