school's started.
first week has passed... and we have 2 projects due already next week >.<
...give me my summer back. ^^
and so... i decide to procrastinate (like always)
updating journals and the like ^^ lol.
always tends to happen when u have the least amount of time, dont u think?
anywho...
contrary to my complaints, i actually am enjoying school.
school is enjoyable... especially compared to the real world we will be having to go out into after this year.
and i also find studying enjoyable these days.
actually gaining the knowledge i mean.
not the busy-work.
i'd like to not have a time limit, tho i know nuthin gets done without that time limit.
i like a laid back feeling-- like i have all the time in the world to explore.
that's a feeling that i think is coming back to me now that i'm back home.
and now, i think i just realized how... "on the go" everything was back in japan.
in the subways and everything... i kinda got the impression that people just couldnt wait the extra ten minutes to get on the next-- less crowded-- train.
taking a stroll today down berkeley (not that i had the time for a stroll... i was pretty much just walking to the hardware store) i felt a sense of slow time.
time taken a little bite at a time. it was nice.
i think i especially felt this slow time when i went from tokyo to my mum's side of the family in wakayama.
strolling down by the ocean, i just felt time passing by so slowly. so peacefully.
school does break this rhythm tho.
esp leading the architecture student's life. lol.
even tho i really think that taking a day off to just walk and look around and "see" is probably one of the best education methods for the architecture student :d hehe
tho i think i might just be rationalizing for my want to do that right now-
i was using sesame oil today... for my project.
my whole room smells like sesame oil.
that and beads.
been stringing beads on wire.
my hands hurt. big time ><
and my project is starting to not make sense to me at all >.<
eep...
