Last Blog


Wow, I can't believe this is already my last blog... "That was quick!"(By Megumi. K) Autumn term was very busy but at the same time very fulfilling. I had never imagined university to be like this...

I really thank all of you for being great classmates:) And thank you Ken, for being a great teacher:)
I hope to see you some of you in classes we have together!!! And I hope we can organize a date where all of us can make it to a nice end-of-ELA party!!

Busy, Busy, and Busy


Everyone has been so busy with all the work they have to do, and all we talk about is how busy we are. It's almost like we are competing to be the busiest person. Like it's the new craze or something. I don't think I was that busy during this period of time last year. I was probably still able to have those extra ten or twenty minutes in the morning where I could be cozy in bed. But now, I have to jump up to my alarm clock(my iPhone) and prepare for finals when I could still be in my dreams. I was thinking about all this before going to bed last night and than I think, wait a minute, maybe I shouldn't be comparing how busy I am right now with last year. So then I decide to compare myself with others. The other day I met some of my friends at Sophia. And after their school festival, they sent me messages asking if we could hang out some day during these few weeks. I thought they were trying to kill me or something because I just couldn't understand going out somewhere during these weeks. I already have my job, three times a week, three finals, three reports, one essay, and two presentations all in two weeks. I must admit that I was lucky to not be part of the ICU festival committee, otherwise I would have been dead by now...

I know that there are busier people than I am. And I know that I'm not supposed to be complaining about how busy I am. After all, it was me who chose to enter the super busy university... But it just kills me to think that I can't sleep for another few minutes when I wake up in the morning... If it were Christmas tomorrow, I would wish for even just some of my work to disappear! All I want for Christmas is that. But obviously there's like another month until Christmas...
