call it a blip, dip, ditch or hole, it doesn't really matter. i've been in denial for the last little while (i was trying to fool myself into thinking things were going fine) but i'm past that stage now. goodbye denial, hello acknowledgement. okay, here goes...
i, sharon, am in a rut.
i suppose one could say i'm going through my version of the 3pm daily workday period of suck. you know, the time when you know your workday is almost over but every minute, every second, seems to be go by soooooooo slowly (and as a result you lose motivation and get real lazy.) yah, that's pretty much how i'm feeling right now. i've tried to tough it up and just DO things because i know there is an insane amount of things to be done, but at this point my overall drive/motivation is almost non-existent and unproductiveness levels are at an all-time high.
idleness and time-wasting are the worst. now if only i wasn't so good at it...*sharon pulls out a sudoku puzzle...* haha, kidding. :P

'jook sings' love jook
here it is: my post that is not about school! instead it's about something much better and more liked by everyone....FOOD, more specifically...JOOK! :D
i admit that when i was little i hated jook...until i discovered thin jook. my grandma made it for dinner one night when she was looking after me. it was SO good. just like that my congee hating days were over.
things got better in OAC when i got my wisdom teeth out. since i couldn't chew anything my mom made this THINNED out jook that was just scrumptiously delicious! (my mouth is starting to salivate. honest. haha.) i ended up affectionately naming this style of jook, "wisdom teeth jook".
none of this thick business, i like my jook watery and thinned out. ohhhh yeah.
mmmmm. i want congee wong now. :d
four things you might not have known about "jook":
- you can look it up on wikipedia (i'm telling you, wikipedia has everything!)
- the word congee was derived from the Tamel word, kanji
- it's considered part of traditional Chinese medicine food therapy
- some people make jook using brown rice

time for another quiz...
You scored as Art. You should be an Art major! How bohemian!
What is your Perfect Major? created with QuizFarm.com |
hmmm i guess this explains why physiology is so hard for me.
i mean, it's a biology course and obviously bio is definitely not my perject major. at all.
...and these quizzes MUST be true right?
oh dear, these quizzes are the worst. (yes, i say this knowing full well i'll probably do another one eventually.) :P
ok back to reading physiology. i'm determined to get a non-crappy mark in this course this term. i want to finish off my undergraduate university career strong but i think more than anything, i just want to prove to myself that i can do it.

ughh. two posts about school in a row. i promise my next one will be about something better. :P

done and done.
today i spent at least 3-4 hours going through each and every one of the entries on my online orpas application form again and again, then again some more. after checking, re-checking then going back to check my re-checked information about 20 billion times i got the courage to click the submit button...only to chicken out and recheck everything "one last time". what can i say, i'm paranoid. :P
anyway, i finally mustered up all courage i could find, hit the submit button and just like that it was finished. after months of talking about it, taking required courses for it and going through the tedious process of filling out all the required application forms, i have officially applied to graduate school.
now for the fun bit (and by fun i mean worst): waiting.

cord-less.
i'm currently typing this post while sitting on my bed which is across the room from my desk and all the cords that come with it. i love wireless internet. i love it even more when other people (neighbours perhaps?) provide it. some people are just so nice. bah hah. :P
don't worry, i'll eventually use our internet with wires again when my battery runs low and i have no choice but to go back to my desk and plug all the cords back in. how restraining.
there is, however, something i miss over on this side of my room: my speakers. laptop speakers have almost no bass, distort easily and have the potential to make your music sound cheesy (like john tesh cheesy). which leads me to my next somewhat related point:
i want a bose wave music system. :)

starfield | love break me
Mark me with Your grace
Shape me in Your wisdom
Place in me a heart
Of mercy
Open up my eyes
Let me see Your glory
Lead me to the place
You want me
Love, break me now
Strip me down
May Your beauty
Deep inside of me resound
Through me be found
Come break me now
Guide me in Your truth
Mold me in Your nature
Birth in me a hope
To hold on
Show me how to wait
Teach me how to listen
Be in me the strength
To let go
Break me now...
Love, hear my plea
Rescue me, bring Your peace
I have come to You on bended knee
I'm desperate for Your breath in me
Your ears to hear, Your eyes to see
Set me free, come set me free
Like rain flowing over me...
