Scriblets

I think my love for reading has come back. Reading for pleasure is what it's meant to be again. Being able to read "outside of the box" really keeps me content. Not that textbooks for school are horribly dry, it's just nice to read some personal non-fiction or even some forms of fiction that seem true enough to be real. I absolutely enjoy it. I just finished The Namesake and I'll be working on reading Perfume of Dreams tomorrow. It's definitely going to have me slightly depressed by the end of the week, but the satisfaction of finishing another book is going to be rewarding.

I've also been reading through people's old blog posts. Now that I have time anyway. I feel like I've missed out on their lives, even if I'm two weeks behind. At this point I'm also sure I enjoy reading other people's writing a lot more than my own. And to think I used to gloat that I had finished mini "masterpieces" back in high school, not only for AP English but also for my own personal writing projects: poems, short stories, etc. It makes me cringe every time I go back to look at how much all of that has declined in terms of aptitude. I'm hoping I'll improve in time, especially since upper division writing is just around the corner (which terrifies me...Humanties CORE at UCI at its worst will forever haunt me).

It gives me greater comfort to know that I absorb a lot more when I read.

P.S. I fixed it, Lewis!

I Digg Twitter

I just made two nerdy references if no one got that. I've been trying to recruit more friends to join! So far, no luck, especially with Anum. She compared Twitter to how Facebook status changes. I guess micro-blogging has been downsized even more. Then again, when my friends and I tried to get her to join LiveJournal, that as well failed because she didn't blog as much. I thought Twitter would change that since she's the type of person with little to physically write, but a lot to verbally say. I have thought of other potentials to ask though. Twitter will not die like Pownce did. R.I.P. Pownce.

On another note, studying for finals has become such a slow process. My ADD personality has ruck amuck and I honestly can't sit still enough to absorb anything. Maybe that's why it's best to stand up once in a while if you want to remember information. Other myths would be eating chocolate or writing your notes in black ink, too. I'd follow them just the same for their sake. I get why people make fun of psychology though, humanists are such hippies! The whole it's-all-about-you-Mr.Roger's-neighborhood approach pretty much sums it up. Liking what I'm reading though, just a lot to take in. I'm going to be giddy taking finals this week for abnormal psych. All the other finals are more downhillish in terms of mood. ICS 21 being at the bottom of the food chain.

I think when I get back from winter break, I'm going to buy a plant, if not a pet. In my history of plants last year...I think I'll have better luck with a pet rock.
