Currently listening to: Peeping Tom by Jamie Berry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I will write my math exam on Tuesday and I am so fucking scared of it. I was thinking about writing the exam on the second day, but in the end, I need to write the exam. I have my three tries left. Therefore I...
It’s just one of those days. I left the office to get lunch (drunken noodles at the Thai place down the block) and when I came back, I just stood at the security turnstile like a lump. Not moving. Waiting for the plexiglass doors to swing open. After an awkwardly long time I remembered you have to s...
Currently listening to: Monster High Fright Song ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Again, a short entry. This week I will be so busy with my exam I take in eight days. I have made some good progress with my notes and my exercises so far. I feel super nervous. It's crazy! This will be a tough we...
4:11 AM A few days ago I logged onto an old Discord account that I haven't used in a few years, and revisited some of my old Discord groups to see how they were still doing. What cool memories. Those were some really good times, a few years ago. I remember so many names and stories, we used to hang...
Currently listening to: nothing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am back! Last week, I visited my parents, and over the last few days, I couldn't write an entry because I was extremely busy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The question remains: What have I been doing all this time? I went to a party with some f...
Okay, vacation’s over. Time for random dental emergency. To back up, for roughly 10 days before the start of my vacation, I’d been getting a foul taste in my mouth at random intervals every few hours. Couldn’t figure out what it was. At one point I thought it was water contamination, but that wasn’t...
Belfast still bears the scars of the past. I vaguely knew this, but didn't realize how deep they run or how many people see it as an active ongoing conflict. We got an exclusive black cab tour of West Belfast. Actually I'm not sure what was "black cab" about it...it was in an unmarked gray van and t...
Another day in Northern Ireland, with the Union Jack and the Red Hand of Ulster flying from the flagpoles. The towns here feel different. Less candy-colored, more somber and worn down. "IRA" and "End internment" scrawled on walls. Today we went to the Giant's Causeway, an incredibly cool formation o...
Yesterday we went to a museum dedicated to recording and preserving methods of craft from old rural Ireland. The farmers back then lived hardscrabble lives and were incredibly resourceful with the little they had. They made ropes and chairs and thatched roofs from straw, baskets and cradles from ree...
I don't like going somewhere else when practicing for PE. I would only agree to it if the school is closed. My classmates (especially the ones who are not from our school) would always go outside of school for PE dance practices. It's so unnecessary. We have the school all to ourselves after class. ...
2:32 AM The utility of something does not determine its value, otherwise water would be worth nearly infinity. Water has more utility than nearly anything else, we literally need it to survive, as does every other living creature on this planet that we know about. The ability to summon water in you...
It's sheepdog day!! but first, Kylemore Abbey The abbey was located in a castle manor. Now, there's castles and castles. Cahir Castle is like a fort taken by orcs three eps before the Battle of Helm's Deep. Kylemore Castle is like the setting for some trending YA romantasy with a rakish dissolute y...
