am currently trapped in the glass building at college cos of rain. the downpour is just not letting up — i’ve been in the computer lab for the past 4 hours, idling time away and resisting the call of the bubble tea shop that’s in the same building. i’ve just printed out the first of my Calculus 3 problem sets (yes, i know, Calculus again. what could i possibly be thinking?), and am currently comparing prices of shoe racks online. i dont often take to shopping online cos i like being able to look at my potential purchases — to hold them, compare them with other products side-by-side, to feel them — but i guess this is one of many ways that i’m slowly getting acclimatized to America and their e-commerce ways.

and now i’m trying to convince The Kimonster that we should go watch a romantic comedy (The Ugly Truth!) tonight instead of some boring boy’s flick. it’s a formidable mission and i am sufficiently engaged. i guess being rained-in is kind of fun.

i’m trying my best to blog frequently, but it just seems so impossible. this usually is the best time to blog, before things get hectic and the terrifying tetris blocks of papers/assignments/exams begin falling … but even now there’s so much to think about. i just went to see my advisor yesterday to iron out some administrative stuff that should have been tackled when i first got here. now i’m a year late and scrambling. also, now that i’ve decided to pick up my old major again (after a frightened and jaded semester of dropping it for newer and safer pursuits), i’m a semester behind everyone else and i have to double my pace. ah i can already smell the morning musk of the library reading rooms. the saddest part is that i had to give up intermediate italian classes in place of my major requisites, which pretty much means i don’t get to go to italy for study abroad next year. sigh.

anyway i’ve figured out one of my blogger’s block problems. i cant blog because i keep wanting to blog about certain topics, and some of those topics need a certain mojo. but until i blog about those mojo-requiring issues, i refuse to blog about anything else — which results in a stagnating index of nothingness on quaintly.net. how now brown cow? i should just, like, blog about anything. like what i do in when i get rained in.
