| oh shit, what the hell, one month over already, nine more to go...... | | |
| Yesterday we immersed ourselves in baths.
I felt the softness of my towel, its tingling threads.
I smelled the honeysuckle in my Secret Charm,
I wriggled at the persistent drops of cold water from the shower head
and experienced the cool air pressure released from a half- empty bottle of lavendar shampoo being squeezed.
For the first time, I had a bath.
Next week, I am to observe an animal,
Notice its movement and understand it, just as it is.
Next week, I am to suffer pain in any joint or organ, which I don't suppose will be difficult considering...
My Left Elbow.
Method acting, indeed. | | |
| According to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, modesty was a necessary virtue in women because of their physical and sexual weaknesses: only shame could save women from their ‘insatiable desires’. If trained properly as demure wives and mothers, however, women could attain self control and contribute to national unity by channelling their husbands' drives into socially useful pursuits.

| This year would definitely stick out among a bunch of ordinary years of my life. Starting junior college, and especially amidst new buildings, people and programs, was exciting albeit difficult most of the time. There was a lot of uncertainty and hesitance with many decisions this year but I hope they've all been right, if there even is a right and wrong in life?! Finally, this year, I understood the weight of making decisions for myself and no one else. At this juncture in life I think I'm beginning to appreciate things I've been taking for granted lately a whole lot more and I'm very glad for it because I feel a ton more mature and grown-up and I feel like I'm just being alive.
Beyond doubt, I've learnt so much this past 12 months. Not just in school! Although, I have to admit I probably didn't know half the things I know today if not for school this year and the tutors who are such a large inspiration for me, and I mean, Large. I've learnt things about life through so many things happening to me that I could never have imagined ever occurring. I just want to thank God for having given me this brilliant year because I suppose it's made me better and stronger.
And I've made a promise to myself that for next year, it's all about making it work. Because next year will determine the rest of my life and I want to be spirited and happy the rest of my life and I should therefore prioritize right if only for 11 months. I think it's time to strap down and gear up for 2010.
