*dust dust*

I don't know why I'm not updating that often anymore. The whole place looks horrible, in fact. What was I thinking?!

Anyway, I'm probably going to change the skin again. At the end of the semester. Because I've got other things to worry about at the moment. Like my review which is due next Monday (Bum. Me.), and our living arrangements for next year.

Where to live, where to live..

Funny how I still refer to issues concerning me using 'we' or 'our'. You know. Like we have our own individual blogs, and yet I still refer to things that way.

This semester's really laidback. Kinda. Max, two classes a day in a week. Lots of readings and discussions to do though. And essays. And two crazy critical reflections.

These reflections are meant to let the tutor know what we've learnt. But I think it's a hassle, really. Imagine if grades weren't compulsory in uni. That we came to university on our own accord (I say this because it seems to be something we have to check off our to-do list. By force?). Would we be more motivated to study harder because we're less worried about grades and that we truly want to learn? (I know there are lots of holes or whatever in that hypothetical situation. Don't take it seriously. I'm just saying.. I can't be bothered to defend them now. I'm analysing stuff everyday for class.)

All I can think about is that, we don't have to write a critical reflection essay. =)

I digress.

I feel like mud cake and ice cream right now. It's really quite good.

There's going to be a meteor shower from 1.30am onwards, Thursday. In a few hours. Take photos people. And upload them. I won't be able to see it from here though.. I think I missed it.

Sigh. Missing Malaysia and my time there. I'm having all these plans that I want to execute, and yet I have a previous engagement, that may or may not be confirmed, with a friend.

I want to do so many things when I get back. Holiday with baby, just spending time with him. Do some occasional work, if possible. Pick my ass up to do some cross stitching. Bet you guys forgot about that. =)

I also want to take basic Japanese classes so I can go for a work placement in a Japanese ski or beach resort. Even if I decide not to go for the work placement, it'll still be a skill. But who knew Japanese classes were so expensive!?

Btw, do you think that the 'rule' to have scholarly writing in journal papers are dumb?

Sometimes when I read them, I get all confused and frustrated. In the end, I don't get what it said. I came across two really sarcastic ones though. They were really interesting.

It makes me think that this code among academics is just something to differentiate themselves from the masses. Like how the affluent buy things (luxury items etc) to differentiate thmeselves from the middle class.

I know academics aren't like that. I'm just saying..
