Come Hither

This time feels different than any other time, for once, I’m not stressed out about finals coming up. I’ve been studying way beforehand and progressing at a remarkable pace with my new found technique called concept mapping. Although it may not work for others, it works like magic for me; everything seems to seep into my brain effortlessly. Although I haven’t been going out much, I actually feel good about studying, time flies and I’m sort of having fun, not with Anthro but with Personality Psyche, yes. I feel quite good about this upcoming examinations Good so now that I’ve learned a new technique I’m happy and exciting to keep using it in other studies, especially in University.  How I do it is, first I read through the text – I also picked up some tips for speed reading too – then I highlight key words, after I’m done with one section, I go back and pick out the highlighted words and make a concept map out of it. I review the map and make sentences in my mind looking at the map, proving I understand the information, and then I’m complete It’s so much fast than taking long wordy notes, and I usually end up copying the whole sentence and try to remember the sentence, not putting it into my own words and understanding it fully. That’s how I’m going to ace my test, just remembering the key points, then string them together, and viola! I don’t need to rack my brain for bullshit to write anymore yay!

ahhhh… I’m so tired these days. I’ve been skipping gym and haven’t been conscientious about what I eat so I gained 1 kg, and I’m not happy about it. So I’ve decided to go on a month diet, which I’ve never done before, actually go on a diet, but I’m going to do so now because I’m sick of having my weight jump up and down.

Upon deciding universities, I’ve been recently thinking about applying for not only SFU but UBC too, but I’m not sure if most of my credits are transferable there. I don’t like the competitiveness that’s infamous in UBC, but the pretigiousness of the u has got me hunting for it. I mean, it has been my dream school since elementary. I’ll give it a go, send an application for the hell of it. I don’t really want to study of Vancouver, although my grades are good enough to, some part of me is hung up on staying put. Perhaps because it’s my home, and that’s where I’d like to be. I move around too much, all my life, to the point that I don’t really have a sense of belonging. However, I only see myself having one home, and that is in Canada.

Many people walk in and out of your life, but it’s those who stuck that were truly always there to begin with.

It’s like an airplane ride, where your sitting side by side, on a long haul flight into your future. Both of you are sitting beside each other, chatting and doing all which you only can while on an airplane. You know the person beside you very well, all too well, and although you may not see eye-to-eye on many things, it doesn’t matter. Together, you have shared many memories, both which protrude out on in your minds, and most often recall together in laughter – those good times. Now whilst talking, your friend interrupts you and gets up to go to the toilet. Every minute on this ’special’ airplane, which travels through time in your lifespan, is equivalent to a year. This is the turning point. When that person comes back and sits beside you, there are two likely outcomes:

a) Everything was forgotten, and the person who now sits beside you is a stranger, and is just another passenger on the same flight.

b) You picked up where you left off in the conversation.
