Unstable


First parts of Jeju I got to explore, near the Teddy Bear Museum. The temperature was around zero degrees, the wind was blowing at full strength and I was in a shirt, jeans, and a jacket. Damn near froze. Teeth were chattering, stomach went into involuntary cramping and legs couldn't stop shivering. I understand why dying from the cold is not a much better option than burning to death. 



School Day Count: 3
Emotional State: Stress
Work Load: Piling up
It's only been three days of school, but it's the first three days like never before. Lecturers are diving into module content so quickly, I'm already drowning. There's no space for breathing in the technical depth modules. The pace feels like that of a technical breadth module in mid-semester. 

A trend I've observed among the electrical engineering professors: They do not like to declare required laboratory sessions in their module information. I suspect it's to keep workload to a minimum so that the number of modular credits accredited to it remains at 4. Tuesday: 3 hours lab. Wednesday: 7 hours lab. Thursday: 3 hours lab. And there's one more session to be allocated. Add 6 - 9 pm lessons thrice a week. And finally to finish the icing on the cake, there are 5 projects this semester. 

No, I don't know how to survive. 

This week has been so draining. 

I'm always going to be inadequate. I just wish people would stop judging me. 
Don't tell me I'm skinny. Don't tell me I'm fat. 
Why is there a need to question what I'm wearing. 
I want to run away. 

All I looked forward to this week was a quick shopping trip to town with my mom for Chinese New Year clothes. But it's been cancelled. I know the level of disappointment and upset I'm feeling is uncalled for, but I've had my hopes up high for this breather before 9-9 classes start next week. Disappointment and expectations are proportional. 

My knee hurts once again. Don't fail me too.

There's work to be done and I'm whining away.
Work, bitch.

My mean thoughts are making me feel ashamed of myself.

Bulgaria's Abandoned Children.

Just finished watching this documentary. Reduced me to a pile of tears and a bundle of hatred for the soulless 'social workers'. I don't think I will ever understand how humans can be so callous. How could you see a child in pain, in complete need of care, of love and yet treat him/her as cattle, and walk away after manhandling them. It is not the lack of stimulation. It is the lack of love that has left the children in this state of despair. Didi still has so much hope to one day see her mom and love for someone who abandoned and condemned her to a life of misery. She says she's happy but always, the lingering shot shows that sadness in her eyes. She knows, her mom isn't coming back for her. But if one day her mom came, she would jump straight back into her arms. That's the problem with hope isn't it, that's the problem with humans. We want what hurts us. Hope is what kills us in the end.  Milen, the boy that never let his heart harden through all...

This is not the way i want my story to end

So tired of the routine. When will there be some spark in this life. I've lost so much dynamism over the years. Waiting for all this to end. Go out and live your life. Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end; Then the busy years went rushing by us, we lost our starry notions on the way
