Habits I Need to Break

resiliencekit — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 09:37:21 +0000

So many habits I need to break. xD
Going to college is a good time to break them… I guess? XD
1) Nail biting. “>.< Gross
2) Procrastination
3) So many other things too. I just don't want to go through them. But, I'll start with these two

Sometimes I need a break from remembering who you are now, so I listen.

Dialectal English

It’s obvious that not everyone speaks the same English. There’s so many different dialects and accents.
So I was wondering what people notice that you say things differently. Usually I have friends or random strangers bring my accent. I know that I mostly have a New York dialectal tone with a hint of New Jersey & some Southern United States English.
Like my friend pointed out the other day that I said yes-tuh-dei (yesterday). [New York] Last year, my band conductor pointed out I say are-range (orange). [New Jersey] The weirdest one was when I was out with friends a training camp and the waiter had an outburst when I said water. She was like, “You’re from New Jersey aren’t you?!” Not quite… but she hit the mark where I say “war-[d/t]er.” [New Jersey]
Let me know if you say any things that people think are funky. It’d be fun. “>.<

Fairy Tale

Tong Hua – Guang Liang
Fairy Tail [somewhat in prose, slightly off from verbatim]
I’ve forgotten how long it’s been since you’ve told me your favorite story.
I thought for a long time and began to worry.
Did I do something wrong?

You said to me while full with tears, fairy tales are all lies.
I couldn’t be your fairy-tale-prince.
But you don’t understand; since after you told me you loved me, the stars in my sky have been shining.

I’m willing to be the angel in the fairy tales you love, have my arms be the wing that protect you.
You must believe; believe that we can be like a fairytale ending with prosperity and happiness.

I’m willing to be the angel in the fairy tales you love, have my arms be the wing that protect you.
You must believe; believe that we can be like a fairytale ending with prosperity and happiness.

I want to be the angel in the fairy tales you love, have my arms be the wing that protect you.
You must believe; believe that we can be like a fairytale ending with prosperity and happiness.

I will to be the angel in the fairy tales you love, have my arms be the wing that protect you.
You must believe; believe that we can be like a fairytale ending with prosperity and happiness.

Let’s write our ending together.

Was talking to two friends, brought up my hair length from a while ago. Screwed up trimming the bangs again. This time, I don’t have 6 inches to mess up with. “>.<

Hmm, it’s been a while again.

It’s been interesting these couple days and what not. Highlights?

-Speed reading class; boosted the heck out of my reading speeds.

-LiFE // Lambda Phi Epsilon – Alpha Theta Chapter Rush Event; did a sit in for my brother.

-Free Coffee

I don’t know. Everything seems okay, I somewhat like be a Scarlet Knight, but I still want to go out beyond the confines of my parents watch. I’m really thinking about pushing them to let me transfer. Anyway, about the highlights…

Speed Reading class costs a fortune… It’s hecka worth it though. Random fact i was given by the teacher; the average college student reading speed on a subject that sparks interest is about 300 wpm (words per minute). When I started the course, I was at 310 wpm [">.<]. After day 2, I hit 680. It was definitely a good highlight for the past couple days. I'm not going to mention my textbook reading speed, since it's significantly slower. Besides, I don't think I'll be using speed reading on a text book unless it's to review. Enough of that

LFE Rush//Info session : My two older brothers are both alumni of LFE, so I have some background in LFE… to the minutest degree, so don’t ask me thing about it. One of my brothers were asked to speak in tonight’s event at my college, so I decided to tag along just to watch. (My brother won’t let me pledge, I wasn’t planning to, so I was just seeing what he was going say.) It was pretty interesting. They said some nice stuff and had pretty cool videos. Not going to say much more about it, because it’s more of a you-find-out-about-it-yourself-kind-of-thing. If you are interested, YOU take the action to go find out more. xD

FREE COFFEE… and tea… and cookies. xD IN MY BUILDING. Monday – Friday, mornings & nights. It’s not AMAZING, but it’s free, and I’m purelyyy down for free. :] So, HECK YEAHH! -takes a sip of Vanilla Coffee?-

‘Till next time, it’s all you.

9.7.9

free flow kind of entry… I guess?

Honestly, I can say that I find my own room pretty depressing. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I rather be not in this room, and not facing my roommate on a daily basis. Yes, the room was a bit of a disappointment, but it’s what I get for sending in my enrollment response late.

What was even more disappointing was the fact that my roommate, and I barely get along. No, he’s not a horrible person but, I just don’t fit in his lifestyle. Not hating on international students, but this kid and I are exactly two different worlds when it comes down to it. I lack ability and willingness to converse with the people on my floor and make friends. It’s kind of lame how I can’t even manage to make 1 new friend in a school of 40,000 or more people.

On top of all of that, I haven’t really been eating right. I ate right at the beginning, but after a little bit, I just didn’t want to eat anymore, even if I was hungry… or I’m just not hungry for most of the day. I have the urge to ask ‘what the hell is wrong with me?,’ but I know the answer is I’m just betching.

Until next time that I don’t get interrupted while doing this, I’ll try to remember the rest of what I was going to say. “>.<
