Before one of Buddha's disciples became a monk, he fell deeply in love with a young woman. Buddha asked him, "how much do you love her?"
His disciple said:
"I would willingly become a stone bridge and endure 500 years of raging wind, 500 years of sunlight, and 500 years of rain if only she would walk over me."

Nov. 18th, 2013 11:06 pmmy mom gave me her old Samsung Galaxy to use since my galaxy 2 broke, so now i'm finally free from the clutches of T9 word. thank fuck.
other than that, i've been busy with work and school. the semester is almost over and i'm still waiting for the admissions office to get back to me whether or not i can make it back to the main campus next semester, which is pretty shitty because registration is coming up soon and i probably won't be able to sign up for the classes i need to graduate. it's really frustrating, especially since there's a whole lot of other stuff i need to take care of too if i am able to go back -- money for tuition is one of those things. i think i might have a pretty good chance of going back though, i've been doing a lot better in terms of papers and i've been getting pretty good grades on my exams. so at least they'll be able to see the academic improvement that they've been hounding me for last year when i tried to go back.
in any case, i hope things work out. i honestly don't want to have deal with shit hitting the fan with every new semester.

Oct. 15th, 2013 11:17 amlately i've been feeling sort of... inadequate, i guess? i feel like nothing i do is good enough and i'm thinking about what happens after college and not being able to find something that i enjoy/am good in. i don't have any special talents and i don't have any interests currently that i'd be able to make a living out of. it's kind of worrisome; it's hard thinking about trying to live on my own when i don't have a job that could actually help pay rent or bills with.
money is always an issue. i'm like perpetually broke and it annoys me so much. sometimes my coworkers invite me out to dinners and stuff but i can never go because i don't have money. my friends from out of state come home and want to go out but i can't join them because i'm broke. i want to take a vacation, visit somewhere else like europe or go back to hk but i can't because lmao i would never be able to afford it. it's really frustrating.
there's so many things i want to do but i can't do it because something is always stopping me from doing it.
also now that i've kind of gotten into rp again i kind of regret it. i remember a lot of things that made me leave in the first place which i guess also ties in with inadequacy. i always feel like i'm just kind of hanging in the sidelines and not really doing anything and yeah people say that they'd like to do more things with me but it's either they're busy with their own thing or something outside of rp gets my attention and the chance goes by. or idk people just lose interest or they were never interested in the first place and just go along to be polite. idk there's all these little insecurities that come up and i'm starting to feel like maybe i should just drop everywhere again because i really don't need to be feeling like this right now.
but at the same time, i joined because i wanted to get back in touch with friends again. but i feel like it hasn't made me feel any closer to them than before when i wasn't in games.
idk it's just shitty dumb feelings. i think if it keeps happening after exams i'll probably just drop. i shouldn't have to feel these things over something like rp.

Sep. 9th, 2013 09:43 amquick update: just wanted to say i'm finally back in school, all that i'm worried about now is finding classes i can still register for. it looks like most of them will be online courses and i will need to basically get straight As for the next semester or two in order to get off academic probation. that is going to be scary as hell because i haven't been in school for like a year so.... yeah.
but at least i'm back in school. now i won't feel like a stupid waste of space all the time.

Aug. 25th, 2013 11:10 pmwow it's been a hella long time since i last updated. i guess things have been pretty up and down the past few months, especially in regards to my school situation. i recently applied to HPU (a private college) after the whole debacle with UH -- it turns out they actually lost the petition that i turned in to them in May, which was one of the main reasons why they wouldn't let me back for the fall semester: they thought i didn't submit a written statement. i took it up with the advising department but it doesn't look like they're doing anything about it so i just said fuck it and decided to just apply to somewhere else.
to be honest, i'm actually not looking forward to HPU very much if i do get in. the tuition is more expensive and i'm going to have to get accustomed to a new environment all over again. but maybe this is what i need to finally get my degree and graduate. i'm honestly so done with school; the only thing that's keeping me going is the fact that i'll have a slightly better chance of finding a better paying job and that my parents and i have already invested so much into it. getting kicked out was a really big blow to me emotionally and the shame and guilt never leaves me. i'm tired of it and i'm tired of stressing out about it. it's been harder for me to sleep lately because i'm always worried about whether or not i'd be able to attend any school, or if i'm ever going to graduate, or if i'm just going to be working shitty min. wage jobs and living at home for the rest of my life. i worry that my parents won't ever be able to retire because of money. a big part of it is that i can't really see where i'll be in the future; like i have no idea where i'm going or what i'll be doing. i don't exactly have a plan and i'm kind of flying blind here but at this point everything is kind of out of my hands. i just hope to god i'll be able to go somewhere. i don't think i can handle sitting out for another semester, i've already been doing that for a year.
other than that, i've been working a lot to the point where i just come home really exhausted. rp wise, i apped to exsilium on a whim but i'm just not feeling it and i kind of wish i didn't app haha. there's a big KH cast but... idk i get the feeling they've already lost interest in the game or are busy. i haven't played with them much. i kind of ran out of steam for save the earth, but hopefully i'll be able to scrounge up something for momo's app (pretty sure my reserve expired. oops). oh also i got Okamiden earlier this week and that's pretty much taken over my free time as well. i'm having a lot of fun with it, it's a really cute game! makes me wish my ps2 was still working so i could play Okami.
speaking of Okami, there's a fan made remix album on kickstarter that recently got funded! i'm so excited to get the CD and the songs are really good! ;w; there's still a few days left if you guys want to get your hands on it. i really recommend it to everyone!

Apr. 14th, 2013 11:39 pmi can safely say that i honestly don't know what i'm doing anymore.
ever since the middle of march there's been this foreboding feeling in the back of my brain and it's slowly become a lot more apparent as time goes on. i think it's always been there, ever since last june, but now that the semester's almost over and most of my friends from my year are graduating and i'm not joining them it's finally hit me and i'm just like. well, fuck. i mean i'm not even back in school yet and i really don't know how many more years it's going to take before i'm finally done with it. i'm pretty sure my credits are less than fifty and my gpa was shit and i just. i'm worried. i've been worried and feeling embarrassed and ashamed and i'm tired of keeping this from everyone and my parents.
i have things to turn in before may and getting back into uni would obviously be a big step in remedying all this but then there's the other hurdle of actually trying to graduate in a year. our funds are as low as they can be and with my shit wages it's not like i can take over tuition payments by myself. besides i'm planning to leave one of my jobs anyway but trying to find something to cover that is near impossible since it's ridiculously hard to find a good job these days. i'm just tired of feeling behind, i'm tired of feeling like i wasted about a year when i could be learning things and earning credits and studying for exams. i feel like i've gotten dumber since getting dismissed and i just don't even know what i'm going to do with my life anymore.
i don't know. everything is a big i don't fucking know right now and it's scary and i get fucking nightmares from it it's ridic. i just want this whole thing to end, i want to get back to uni and i just want to feel like i'm actually doing something productive for once. people keep telling me that i shouldn't feel like shit about this and that i'm doing what i can, but it's not enough. i don't think i'll stop feeling like this until i'm back and doing what i'm supposed to be doing. it just feels a little shameful and frustrating when everyone you know is leaving and starting a new chapter in their life and you're still stuck in the same goddamn place you were back when you first started four years ago.
sometimes i just wish i could hit a rewind button and start over again.
