Spring Break-ing :P
BIG Update(s) to come soon!
I'm in the middle of spring break, with irregular internet access/too lazy to update properly.
Will update most probably once I'm back in Missoula, Montana I guess. :)
Currently in Portland, we're staying overnight, will be going back to Seattle tomorrow.
So, yea. Expect an update sometime at the end of this week or around next week. :D

Dinner with a View
What I had for dinner today:
Burnt steak.
Nico thought we could leave it in the oven after the timer finished counting down, but apparently it doesn't mean that the oven will switch off. So it sat there and got cooked more without us knowing it. The smoke alarm went off TWICE. Had to open windows wider to get it to stop.
And then I returned to my room and had this view from my window.
Not bad, huh? XD

Crabby
So I slept early and woke up late AGAIN.
Bah.
Is it a symptom of a larger problem when you get headaches EVERY FREAKIN DAY, which intensifies around 8 or 9 pm onwards, and no amount of sleep seems to be able to cure it?
I mean, even as I'm sitting here typing this now after 9 hours of sleep and a quick shower (quick by my standards = 10-15 minutes), I have a headache.
Something's definitely not right. I mean, I can understand getting a headache from lack of sleep, but this doesn't seem to be the case. It's perpetual. I could take pain relievers every few hours, but that doesn't solve the problem, it just dulls the aching for awhile.
I don't get it.
I think it's because the lack of char kuay teow in my diet... hmmm.. either that or kam hiong(heong?) crabs. Sigh.
AND my computer time nowadays is much much less than what it was back home. If the headache is from my laptop, I don't see how that can happen. And I do make an effort to ensure that I use it less than my comp back home, simply because the refresh rate of the monitor is only 60 (compared to 70-72 on my comp back home), and lower refresh rate = higher chance of headache, and could even tire out your eyes quickly.
Bah.

Crap
It's 8:28 am, I have a test in about one hour and 10 minutes, and I'm not ready for it because I missed some of the classes and some of the stuff in the study guide ISN'T in the book.
I couldn't sleep well all night long for some unknown reason; all I remember is that no matter which way I faced, or whether I pushed the blanket off or left it on, I couldn't fall asleep.
I feel like crap.
Sucky day.
!!UPDATE!!: Wtf I somehow got 96% for the exam. YAY. Not so sucky day after all.

Things I Need Help With
1) Understanding my COMM 311 (Family Comm) class/textbook. I have an exam for it tomorrow, and I DO NOT UNDERSTAND MY TEXTBOOK AT ALL ZOMG. And it sucks like hell. It's like reading a whole novel of theories and metatheories etc etc. Sucks. SUCKS.
2) Writing my second story for Creative Writing class, which is due in about slightly more than a week from now. I have no concrete ideas yet, only vague thoughts about it.
3) Learning how to let go and have fun. I need to learn how to be more social. I need to go out more. But I'm always so freakin lazy/sleepy/tired. Not that I have too much work, but I'm generally a low-energy person.
4) Making friends in COMM 311 class, I feel so lonely in that class, because the people I've been grouped up with during class for in-class discussions/projects somehow either look confused whenever I say something, or they're friendly and stuff but ignore me outside of discussions. It's like they all already have their own groups of friends in there, and the sad thing is I'm not even exaggerating. :(
5) Making more friends in general. Refer to no. 3.
6) Being more organized with my assignments. I am currently doing things as they come; no real planning beforehand.
7) ... stuff.
The End.

Unusually Random Rumination
So life has been quite boring for me.
The past week was just filled with work and exams.
[self-praise mode]
I got 135/135 for my Psyc 240 Test 2 hohohohoho
[end self-praise]
...ahem.
So in any case, life's just like that. Had an assignment due today which I sorta finished early but ended up rushing at the last minute because I forgot to staple the grading sheets with the other pages. Had to make copies of Ken Gene's grading sheets. D: Otherwise, I finished relatively on-time.
I was sick for the past few days. It's really annoying, it seems as if it takes me longer to get well here than back home. It could be because my diet here is pretty messed up, but my diet back home was pretty messed up as well. I think my regular McDonald's joint near The Curve back home has gone bankrupt by now since I stopped going there. :( And the McDonald's here sucks potatoes, somehow it doesn't taste as good as the Malaysian McD's. I'm a McD's expert, I should know D:
Haha my brother and I got pulled over by campus patrol/some police dude the other day. Apparently my brother didn't make a complete stop before turning at a junction. The traffic light was red, but here in the US you can still turn right if the light is red as long as there are no cars, and of course as long as you make a complete stop. But he didn't get ticketed or anything though, the guy just told my brother that his insurance expired. :P Pretty cool, I was so blur that I forgot to take a picture of the patrol car behind us with its flashing lights. D:
The weather's starting to warm up. It's kinda weird that I think 5 degrees celcius is kinda warm. I have to open my window, or it gets too hot in my room. The insulation's a bit too effective, I guess. I can't imagine how bad it'll be in the summer.
Soo I now have my regular makan place at the university center food court. They have Pizza Hut, Pacific Rim(Asian-ish nasi campur but a tak sedap version), Wingstreet(chicken wings!), etc etc. I go to Wingstreet the most. They have this style called 'traditional', and I order it without sauce. Tastes kinda like ayam goreng back home. I hate the sauces there. So much better without sauce.
...ya I'm just talking about random stuff -_-
I hate, hate, HATE my Comm 311 class. The lecturer's nice, but the class is somehow totally uninteresting. I've skipped/missed it like 1293219 times since the semester started. But somehow I'm still doing pretty well in it, haha. I guess I'm good at memorizing crap for exams. :P
Sigh, I totally miss McD's Malaysia, milo ais, char kuay teow, the Warm Chocolate Cake at Bakerzin in 1-U, the Japanese food at Takakura restaurant at KLGCC, crabs at Pangkor Fish Head(opposite Fatty Crab), etc etc.
This sucks D: Food sucks D:
I wanna go home... for the food. Okay, okay, for friends and family also. But mainly food. Haih.
