In less than two weeks, I'll be on another continent located on the other side of the globe, and greeting the day 14 hours ahead of everyone else here in Calgary. It's ironic that when I finally find a reason to make a post (this being the first post of the summer), it's about my leaving for Asia and my subsequent absence from blogging until I get back. This time last year, there would have been multiple posts about the ending of the Spring semester, the Stampede, and the other miscellaneous outs and abouts that is summer in Calgary. This year however, I just didn't feel the need to chronicle my life in posts. Instead, I opted to just live and make the most of my time left in Calgary before I embark on my trip to Asia with my friend. It's overwhelming how soon I'm leaving. I've never even been on a plane before, and I always imagined that my first flight would be short and sweet, perhaps and trip to Vancouver let alone full on 14hours to Singapore. I'm excited though. I seem to always experience cabin fever this time of year in Calgary, so to be able to get away for three weeks will be a treat (and much needed). Ahhh I can't wait!

one temporary escape


as it whithers, brittle it shakes
can you whisper, as it crumbles and breaks
as you shiver, count up all your mistakes
pair of forgivers, let go before it's too late

Thursday, May 5, 2011

I'm currently sitting on my bed, still in my plaid pjs as I make this post (best thing ever). The past month or so has been a blur. I guess for the past 3 years that I've been at the UofC, the month of April has become that dreaded month that you wish would just hurry along. I swear finals season sucks the living soul out of me. I find myself overwhelmed with unread chapters and long tedious processes that have yet to be memorized. I'm referring to the memorization of glycolysis, the TCA cycle, glucogenesis, and all the enzymes and substrates and cofactors involved at each fucking step. I WANTED TO DIE. It was awful. But all of that nonsense is behind me now.

I start spring semester this SATURDAY. Yes, I've enrolled myself into a Saturday class. Although this means that six consecutive Saturday afternoons will be sacrificed, I think it won't be that bad - or so I say now. Despite the thought of having to be indoors in a lecture while it's sunny outside is depressing, I'm actually looking forward to my spring classes. I mean they sound interesting enough. I'm taking an art class that focuses on the "History of Video Gaming" which either sounds like the coolest thing ever, or social suicide. I'm also taking a critical medias class, a music and culture class, and social psychology. This may be four classes too many for most people during spring, but I'm thinking it would be good to take classes that ACTUALLY interest me for a change. I don't even remember what it feels like to genuinely enjoy a class.

I should probably get dressed and get on with my day now. This was good. I missed making blog entries, even as bland as my entries are.

p.s. - 20 days until DCFC!!!

"Ice-age heat wave, can't complain.
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan.
Going to find another place, maybe one I can stand.

DEATH CAB FOR CALGARY

I realize that this post is way overdue and at this point it's old news, but I don't care because I AM GOING TO SEE DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I hardly believe it myself. Remember when I made that post a while back about Death Cab, and how they should come to Calgary? Well it was as if the Concert Gods heard my prayers (or read my blog), and Hallelujah! Death Cab will be coming this May! I am beyond excited. To have the chance to hear some of my favourite songs (ever) sung live will be a surreal experience. Counting down the days til mid May. Eeeek!

BLUE VALENTINE


Watching this movie can be compared to what it would feel like to leave your heart in the hands of a juggling clown. It's a convincing reflection of the bittersweet adventures of love, documenting the "falling in" and the "falling out". It's difficult not to give in to this movie, and let it have its way with your emotions. A definite must see in my books.
