Eventful
Why is it that i never learn...write the blogs in word then paste it onto blogspot. Sigh. Oh well, this is my attempt to procrastinate...what am i saying, i am procrastinating... before i finsih making another 40pgs of study notes for Cognitive Neurosci & Neuropsychology.
So the last couple of days has been quite "eventful" =)
I went to my last class on thursday, that was nice. This semester has gone by really fast...i've really enjoyed all of my classes..and most of my profs. I'm gonna miss Kronzucker :( Oh right. So i muttered up enough courage to finally email him..thanking him for all his effort & time into the course. I wanted to encourage him cuz he mentioned in class about the "ugly" email he's reiceved from some students complaining about the T.A....and told him about the nomination. He emailed me back the next day...he hee..i was quite giddy.
The next day, i had a meeting at school at 1 for the student mentorship program. There were about 20 of us there. I realized that i get awfully timid and mute when i'm with a room full of strangers. Sigh. I had a bad case of verbal constipation. For the whole 1.5hrs all the communicating i participated in was the occasional nodding and shaking of my head. Arg. I don't know why i get like that. Strangers scar me =( After the meeting i walked back to the car and ate lunch there cuz i didn't want to walk back..it was freezing. Then i sat there...and sat longer.. played games on my phone...tried to study...and sat some more. I'm such a loser ha haa. So finally i drove back to school. I studied from 3:30-10:30...quite productive i must say. If it wsan't for a 11hr shift the next day i would've stayed longer. But very happy about that.
Which brings me to saturday...a nice long 11hr shift during the xmas season. The front lines of battle has not been so bad lately but the just wait...the rush is coming..i can smell it. I missed 'the mix' for fellowship cuz 1) i finished at 7pm, the thing started at 6:30 and was in scarbro 2) i was tired 3) my parents were out of town so i would've had to bus home first and drive the beat up box on wheels......i think i'll pass. After work i did a little shopping..he hee..got som stuff for my mom. I think she appreciated it. Then went home and did my usual, watch the chinese movie then off to bed.
The message on sunday reminded me of a conversation i had about 3 years ago. A friend and i were talking bout talking...more specifically avoiding empty chatter i.e. not talking for the sake of talking or to fill the void with sound. We should avoid this...sometimes it's okay just to be silent..to listen. Conversations are not meant to entertain...espeically with real friendships. I find that one of my closest relationships, has somehow we've fallen into this deep pit. Perhaps a little of entertaining each other ...but more so not be cautious of the implications of our words..a little bit of gossip, a little big of bad jokes...very politically incorrect..but that's another story.
After church i came home for lunch then headed off to robarts to study w/ brandon. Also quite producitve :) We left around 7:30 and i went to the shoppers xmas party. I wasn't expecting much seeig how last year's was unbearably boring....but this year was quite..."different". 1) i drank..gasp.. ha haa..that was probably my first drink besides the occasional sip i'd take from my parents at dinner. My friend insisted i get something..so she ordered for me. My goodness, the nastiness. It tasted like fruit flavored rubbing alcohol...i had to wait til the ice melted so it would become more dilute. Sigh. That was the end of my career as a raging alcoholic. The night was also entertaining b/c the cosmeticians all got tipsy so they started dancing on the bar...shoppers is getting quite scandelous. After dinner, they usually do draws for prizes. I won a $25 gift certificate for roots- i was happy. Then after, i won a portable DVD player - that made my dad happy. I think he was karaokying and watching movies on the toilet. And later they gave everyone a bottle of perfume, i think i got CK contradiction- my mom liked that, she was happy. Sooo...in conclusion by the end of the night, we were all a happy Feng family...and it wasn't b/c of the alcohol!
