"You think you know death, but you don't. Not until you've seen it, really seen it. It gets under your skin and lives inside you. You also think you know life, stand on the edge of things and watch it go by but you're not living it, not really. Just a tourist - a ghost. Then you see it, really see it. It gets under your skin and lives inside you and there's no escape. There's nothing to be done and you know what it's good, it's a good thing. And that's all I've got to say about it." 

Thank you, Skins.

Goodbye July

Cheers to a new semester...!

Hope everyone is well.

Introverted problems

Mentally exhausted. 

Things are becoming too overwhelming for me...
I have to remember it's okay to feel this way.

Goodbye June

At exactly one year ago, I wrote this:

I must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today, or my hormones are being a total bitch. Maybe both. Today is shit. 
I want to leave this place. 
I want to stay in bed for the whole day. 
I don't want to do anything. I don't give a fuck.

Woah, hold up. What was I thinking? Why was I so mad that day? It honestly feels as if I've just been slapped in the face when I re-read this. Whatever rut I was emotionally stuck in, the sense of hostility between the lines is disturbingly intriguing. Today, I'm here. I'm different. I can fortunately state that 2013 has so far brought me better days. My mind has become a lot clearer. I no longer feel trapped underneath conscious weights as frequently as before. However, I'd be a definite fool to make such promises to never feel the dark again. My former self serves as a reminder to the inevitable suffering in life. Everyone is damned. There is no escape from it. Life is suffering. Suffering is life. One day, I will return to the above state of mind again. Be glad, mad or sad. Time changes everyone. 

Ruby Sparks (2013)

"I'm sorry for every word I wrote to change you, I'm sorry for so many things. I couldn't see you when you were here and now that you're gone, I see you everywhere." 

Ruby Sparks was genius.

Winter is here.

Hello internet. I recently realized that the phrase "Winter is coming" was actually the first episode of Game of Thrones. I haven't started the series just yet, as well as many other shows my friends have been eagerly watching. These nights so far have been spent on readings and lectures in preparation for the dreaded exams happening in two weeks. After all this uni stuff, I'll put up my annual Winter holiday list! 

Study hard and good luck everyone. I shall be back on the other side.

Called the school up four times and still couldn't reach  my mentor. 

Felt as if I was sucked inside a hurricane.

No available subs yet.

For every shi**y moment 

Warmth of freshly printed paper.

My Virtual Child was a success. 

Bumped into a mate.

Sparkling water.

Goodbye April

Hello all!

I sense that everyone's been in hiding for the past few weeks due to study and that's okay! I too have been caught up with the demands of uni and with only one more month till exam time...I'm going to lose all my hair and go bald. These nights I've been burning the midnight oil, along with Mix 101.1 Love Song Dedications to keep me company into the wee morning. You can never go wrong with Richard Mercer. I'm also an avid listener to Smooth 93.1. Easy listening soothes the soul, although listening to music while working isn't really deemed a good habit in my opinion...At times I'd commit myself to silence and focus and then I'll be flexible here and then depending on how easy the task is I suppose. 

Speaking of uni, I was in my developmental psych lecture yesterday and there was a video on babies in particular to Piaget's stages of learning. Then the following conversation occurred. 

Brain: I'm so doing that to my kid.

Brain: Wait a minute, you're going to perform tests on your own child?

Brain: I'm their parent, I give consent to ME. 

Brain: Poor child. Poor, poor child. 

Brain: But he/she doesn't even exist yet! 

Brain: ...I feel sorry for your partner. Oh wait. 

Psychology is doing my brain I swear. Today I found out where my placements will take place in a week's time. I've been informed by a previous student and friend that the teachers are nice there, and to go "ghetto" on the students. Not even sure how I'll respond if my mentor is willing to let me teach a lesson. Ha. One more week. Ha. I'm Mr. "Schneebly" from the School of Rock. I. am. nervous.

WHILE ON THE INTERNET 

This should be FRAKING MOVIE. 

Time to say goodbye to American Horror Story: Asylum! and that weird alien plot. Thank goodness that's over. I can't wait for the next season, COVEN. Based on the events in Salem, this is the only time I'll thank Year 12 English text studies. Honorable mention of Adam Levine for Sophie. His arm gets torn off.
