Killing my limited time
Well I'm supposed to study now...MFE is just like one+ week away. But here I am typing this post...which I don't even know what to write. Just feel like killing some time I guess. Maybe I should give myself some encouraging words here...GANBATTE!!!

Fall
It's already halfway through the semester. Too immersed in my everyday life, I failed to notice that the leaves were changing colors. Suddenly, the town has turned to a yellow arbor; and the relentless winter is already lurking around the corner, its tentacles menaces with increasing aggression.
Fall is delightful when there is a blue sky above, when trees fight to flaunt the loudest shade of orange, when the whole forest seemed to be engulf in a furious inferno, and when the earth is carpeted with crispy leaves that appeared to be the reflection of the flaming canopy above.
That is the prime of fall, a period which is transient however. As fragile as every good thing in the world is, the picture falls apart with the first wave of cold air. As more and more leaves fall, the scene becomes increasingly obscene; dried up brownish foliages dot the baring branches, accompanied by the hopeless twigs that dangle stubbornly on them. The sky becomes moody most of the time, with clouds of despair coating the land, neither ominously nor promisingly. It is as if that time is confused, and does not quite know where to go.
The tension will ultimately be resolved by the first flake of snow. But before that, the apparent dullness continues to mask the underlying restlessness and yearning for a change.

Fantaghiro - The Cave Of The Golden Rose
It seems like ages since I watched this show back in Malaysia. Although I don't quite remember the storyline now, it was definitely my favorite show at that time. The ending song is still one of the most beautiful song that I have ever listened to..

Fall 2007
This semester isn't as easy as I had imagined. I figured with all the core classes taken, this would be a semester for some fun classes and just enjoy life...well, while it is true that I'm taking mostly freshmen classes, the challenges that this semester poses are not significantly less than those of last semester.
Right now I'm taking 16 credit hours and working 16 hours every week. The classes that I'm taking are as followed:
Dance 101 - Intro to Modern Dance
AsianLan 125 - Elementary Japanese
Musicology 121 - Intro to the Art of Music
Econ 424 - International Finance
Math 423 - Financial Math
The working hours are less, so as the number of jobs too. Instead of working 4 jobs (tutor, proctor, grader, librarian), I'm down to only proctoring this semester. Aside from working and classes, now that I'm staying in Northwood apartments, I've to spend quite a portion of time dealing with food (buying them, preparing them, washing up etc). Cooking is not as easy and as cool as it seems, it could be quite an onerous task. That's not always the case though, as occasionally it was fun and rewarding.
On top of that, I'm taking MFE, the third SOA paper this November. Progress isn't good so far, but will try my best (let's see lol) to get myself ready for the exam. As usual, this semester will be the battle of me versus my procrastinating self. Hope the positive side will prevail...
