I wish I were more intellectual.
I'm not saying I'm dumb or stupid beyond reason, because I surely think I am not, but I just wish I had more mediums I can proudly draw inspirations from.
I attended my first English Literature class for the semester today. I was really excited for it, unlike most people who groan and moan when they hear the word literature. Just to set the record straight, high school literature is nothing compared to what you're exposed to in college.
We spent the entire period speaking about books and writers and just literature as a whole. It was all so new yet familiar to me. Some things my lecturer mentioned made me nod my head in agreement and familiarity but others just made me think deeper and wonder why hadn't I thought of it that way before.
Well, I wished I had read more books and poems in life. Known more authors. Be informed about more inspiring and life changing works by amazing writers. I sat, mesmerized at the way my lecturer just quoted author after author, and story after story. Imagine the number of books she must own. Imagine the number of books she must have read!
I wish I had all the time in the world to just bury myself in all forms of literary artwork and never come out of them until my own personal world is filled with nothing but the goodness of the stories from my reading. What a fantasy it would be, wouldn't it?
Well, I'm adamant on acing this class and many have told me that it doesn't sound as easy, or as fun, as it seems. I'll make it fun. I don't ever believe reading can be tiresome. Especially if I'm reading novels by good authors who seem to able to capture the average thoughts on mankind and put them into beautiful words. Ah what a gift!
Anyway, I had theatre and moral studies. Theatre is going to be an experience because the lecturer is freaking hilarious. Moral studies for me is just set at such an ungodly hour, so I'm gonna be really sleepy. And he gives us excerpts from Aristotle to read from. Loads of philosophy stuff but surprisingly, I managed to give 70% of my attention to him. I guess philosophy isn't so bad after all.
Moving on.
I HAVE SUPERB NEWS!
Not for you readers, unfortunately. But for myself!
Remember the countless amounts of time I spent venting in this minuscule waste of space on the World Wide Web about my driving experience and whatnots? Well, finally this time, I'm proclaiming that I've officially passed my driving test!
Kickass much?Spent my entire Tuesday there! It was tiring, it was nerve racking and there was a point where I thought I was going to fail it yet again. But, by the grace of God, I made it through. You have no idea how grateful I am.
Friend in green.I forgot his name :\
A familiar face from high school!Jiann Wenn.
So right now, I'm really impatient on driving. And terrorizing the roads of Subang. Another reason why you should be afraid of highways :)
I think I've been lacking sleep because I refuse to sleep eventhough I'm sleepy. I know, call me weird. My clock's just all screwed up, partly due to the holidays I had, as well as other things constantly running through my head.
Hopefully everything just resumes to it's natural state, as it was before.
ps: I liked the cold wet weather today. The sun can always wait.
