| Reading: The news; I should really stop, it makes me so sad :(
Listening to: Cheezy 80s rock
Procrastinating by: Watching Cowboy Bepop (yes, I've finally given in...)
Okay, this one is for Christine. I suppose I should get on a semi-regular update schedule (is once every four weeks regular)? Anyway, I'm finally feeling the crush of the post-FACES classwork. Midterm today, lots of homework due. Not fun. I've really got to allow myself to be more focused. Like I mentioned in my last blog entry, I tend to be too tenacious for my own good; that's why I played football for seven years in high school even though I hated every day of practice. I'm worried that I end up doing too many things not well enough. I like being the jack of all trades, but its kind of useless when you are the master of none. Everyone's been telling me that I should drop one of the languages I've been studying so that I can focus more on one, but I just can't give up on all of the hard work I've put into them... I guess we'll see next fall. Okay, lame update, but its better than nothing  | | |
| Reading: Taipei Times for updates on the Taiwanese elections
Listening to: Atmosphere, a cool band I heard on Live 105
Procrastinating by: Playing Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
Okay, well, I guess I'll start this weblog thing. I resisted doing it
for a long time, I guess 'cause all the cool kids blog, and, well, I'm
not one, so that was that. But a friend pushed to me to start, and here
I go. I doubt many people will read this <written to the sound of
crickets chirping in the background>. Right now I'm sick (ill
actually; some people would probably argue that I'm sick all the time),
and focusing on any one thing is a little difficult. So I just
play video games instead of getting any real work done. Which brings up
the reason for the entry today - is it bad that I already feel behind
in my work? I've once again wildly overcommited myself; the FACES
conference is looming, and I'm taking 23 units this quarter (I still
need to figure out how to 'shave' that down to 18), and I'm a little
scared that I won't be able to handle it. Last quarter, I took two
relatively easy academic classes and two language classes and it nearly
killed me. I always do this to myself; my problem is that I'm too
stubborn to quit anything and now I've ended up with way too much on my
plate. I guess I should stop feeling sorry for myself as this is mostly
self-indulgent whining, but hey, it's my blog
At any rate, I've also been thinking about the meaning of the
relationships quite a bit recently for various reasons, and about how
indecisive and weak-willed I can be when it comes to them. I would like
to think that I've now set myself on the path of finding the right
person for me and stopping falling for girls that are all wrong for me,
but when it comes down to it, if something developed (I guess it would
have to be unexpectedly), would I really be able to put my foot down
and realize that, while it might bring some temporary enjoyment, would
I be able to make the right choice? This goes for more than just this
situation, btw, so there are plenty of situations I'm sure my reading
public could imagine my weak will being applicable to  I don't know
why I'm like that, but I'm pretty sure its not a good thing.
