Wait, what, how long has it been?
Like a month yo, but I'm back, doing my thing, taking Yale midterms and god knows what else. I now have newfoudn respect for Yale's intelligence. So I had midterms in Math and Econ this week, I'm a lil frazzled, studying a little too much for my standards, and not sleeping enough to anyone's standards. As it turns out, we overstudied, as the tests (both of them) covered ridiculously easy material that we sorta just skimmed over (we being me and other test takers that i knew) and so there's is now the high probability that I screwed up on the easy shit. Here's the catch: the test was so easy and the number of test takers so many that the curve is almomst guaranteed to be through the roof, so every tiny mistake that I've made will be magnified. Damn Yale, you are sneaky. I need to be better.
Speaking about being better, I think I'm getting a little sick again, and that just blows, and sucks, majorly (I like how blows and sucks can mean the same thing in several contexts and be completely opposites in others. The English language is tite.) cuz I'm planning on just going nuts this week and forgetting about this past week and how much stress I've been under. I think i'm turning into an alcoholic ... every weekend, or most of it, will require some late night drinking and partying, even as I fulfill my academic and artistic fulfillments through going to like student-directed musicals and lectures and shit. It's all good, I'll drink to being a good Yale student (slurp).
And by request of Toubs, Sam got his ass beat while being shit-drunk yesterday. There, there it is.
Anyhow, judging by the vast number of people who wanted to comment on my last blog (well, it was mebbe like 9, or 8 or something like that off of the top of my head) I'll throw out another one of these things for you all to enjoy, courtesy yet again of my wonderful Websterian friend Tina.
This is simple, 15 statements, 10 truths, 5 lies, pick the lies, ill tell you how many you got right, and eventually the answers will come out. It shan't be too bad.
1. I was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and I lived there for 3 years.
2. In sixth grade, right before an orchestra concert, I walked into a wall and broke my violin.
3. My favorite orchestral piece is Mozart's Symphony No.40, which we will play for Saybrook Orchestra again this year.
4. I originally backed John Edwards in last year's Democratic primary and Ralph Nader in the presidential election because I really disliked John Kerry
5. When Ralph Nader came to speak at Yale, I stole buttons and flyers from his campaign to hang up in my room.
6. The first time I ever got drunk was at Yale off of a shot of Jack Daniel's Whiskey.
7. I sleep with a security blanket at Yale because I've had it since I was 2.
8. I have lost my car, yearbook, MP3 player, TI-86 calculator, driver's license, credit card, keys, and library card in the last 2 years.
9. Despite not having a lot of school spirit, I attended several of Westwood's football games in the four years I was there.
10. I have not been back to Taiwan since I was in middle school because my mom was afraid they'd draft me into the army.
11. My favorite music artists now are Bob Dylan, Postal Service, and the Decemberists.
12. Yale was my first choice school when applying because of the great experience that I had here at JSA Summer School.
13. One of my nerdier high school moments was my 1600 SAT score on my first try.
14. My newfound time waster here at Yale is Halo 2, which I play at least an hour a day.
15. My favorite drink in the world is boba milk tea.
OK, figure it out, comment, and enjoy. I don't think it's THAT hard.
