so i slept the entire weekend away and it felt so good. school’s out and summer is officially here for me, and i couldnt be any happier. i’m currently far away from NYC, and although i’m not home yet, it’s a huge relief to just be physically removed from the city for awhile. the rush gets to you sometimes, and you just want to go somewhere quiet, where there’s lots of love. well i’m somewhere quiet now :) and there’s lots of love. and food. and sleep. and pure, unadulterated rest. i am going to get so fat. i’m snacking on a bag of thai sweet chilli chips as i speak. 750 kcals mmmmm.
i left NYC two days ago, and despite all my griping about the place, i’m actually going to miss college. it was weird saying goodbye to people that i’d grown so close to in the span of a year, as well as the people i should have spent more time with. i got the feeling everyone couldn’t wait to leave, but mostly, the goodbyes were very sad. at the end of it all, it was easy to tell whom i’ll drift apart from. isnt it funny? in high school things like this always came so easily, and they were in your control. in college, it’s all so haphazard — but i suppose that’s why college is exciting. i already can’t wait for next year. i’m going to dive right in. enough with all this fretting about grades… four years really is too short to spend striving towards that unattainable 4.0.
my freshman dorm room… now empty :(
speaking of 4.0’s, i came really close to it this semester. i didn’t feel much joy when i got my grades though. i was just so sick and tired of it all. here’s a cute convo that i had with M — M not being his real name, but close enough, and mesoot gool being the irritating nickname that i call him just because it’s funny and he deserves an irritating nickname — and it’s a convo that reflects just how much college has changed me. if my 16 year old self knew that my 20 year old self would be like this, she would stab me. or herself. it’s also a convo that reflects how anal mesoot gool is :P so, upon us both learning that we didnt get A plusses for two of our classes:
me: i didnt get an A+ =(
M: what did you get?
me: A
M: shit and i didnt get an A+ for calculus
i got an A
WHY!!!!!
me: hahahaha
FOL, mesoot gool
M: youre right su ann FOL
me: sigh
M: 1st in-class exam – 25%
2nd in-class exam – 25%
Homework – 10%
Final – 40%
ok look this is the grade distribution for my calc class
i got 102 for my first midterm out of 100
i got 91 for the second one
my hw grade average is 92.73
and i was expecting 100 for my final
me: who’s ur lecturer again. is it XYZ?
M: nope her name is ABC
me: ohh. maybe she doesnt curve..?
M: should i send her an email asking about my final grade?
me: haha only if u want to seem really anal, sure :P
M: su ann why are you discouraging me!!!
me: hahhahaha
ok okayyyyyy
ask herrrrrrr
M: hahahaa ok i just asked her
me:what is an A+ for ur class anyway?
in most of my classes it’s 100
M: 97-100 i guess
or 98-100
me: then u prolly missed it by just a little bit..
well that sucks
M: SU ANN I WANT AN A+ FOR CALC
me: SORRY MESOOT GOOL
Mesut: FML
me: =(
Mesut: STUDY su ann lim
me: YA YA OKAY
I JUST NEEDED ONE MINUTE TO EAT SOMETHING
OMG. FML.
hahahaha see, check out college. get A also not happy, must get A+. and a person can’t even go and eat something without people reprimanding her for not studying. US hopefuls, still want to come to america for college now?? haih whatever lah. summer summer summer summer summer is upon me. in 2 weeks i will be home :) MALAYSIA, GET READY FOR ME!!!
some things i’m going to do over summer, or at least, what i can think of right now in my somnolent state:
fling self into arms of all friends and loved ones in KL <3 learn how to use my new camera get back on MSN and talk to all the people i’ve missed and had to cut short conversations with over the academic year cos i was busy :( finally get started on that blog layout revamp that i’ve been talking about for the past year try not to think about the Grey’s finale or burst into tears everytime i see/hear THAT NUMBER. catch up on all the episodes of ANTM and Heroes that i’ve missed out on. actually i dont even know if Heroes is worth the time anymore check out a new tv series. torn in between exploring Lost, True Blood or a Korean drama series read read read read read read read. getting started on Chuck Palahniuk’s Choke. next one, Curtis Sittenfeld’s latest book. and then The Witch of Portobello. and then Catch 22. it’s going to be so good reading books for leisure again. tinker with my newly acquired Kindle. thank you mac :) SIMS 3 OMFG eat malaysian food every day until i die pick up piano or the drums again. most likely piano go for math tuition. i am actually not kidding. if i want that A+ in Calc 3 (hahaha) next semester, this is actually going to be what i have to do find a buddy to practice italian with so that i don’t get rusty. either find one online, revisit that relationship with Mr Hotelier or skype with italian classmates every weekend. all do not sound at all likely. klang bak kut teh with the parents on sunday mornings!!! play a game or two of DotA… or ten visit SS15 and finish that SS15 post that’s been sitting around in my drafts for the past two years make a couple more of those self indulgent How Well Do You Know Su Ann quizzes on Facebook make a trip to Cameron Highlands for that strawberry milkshake. sigh. memories of 2004. make a trip to Penang for everything else finally get that diving license… (pending since 2005) finally get that dRiving license…(also pending since 2005) do a beach holiday somewhere with the besties. get a tan. then bemoan tan. plan holidays that will never happen visit Kai Tan (that’s my grandmother; not her real name, but it may as well be.
