This week, (copy and paste from the opening from last week) was...
The same.
Preparing for the midterm so that I don't get flunked this semester, preparing for the college application, studying German and so on. I promise that after all this is over I'll head out for a walk.The more frustrating thing is that I cannot focus. "Just five more minutes on the phone and I'm going to finish this paragraph of the personal statement" is the biggest lie of this week. I don't know why, but there always seems to be a part of my brain that is not there at all, and something vacuous has taken the stead of the vacancy in my brain and is not helping at all but mesh with the other parts of my brain.
Last time when I was confronted with this sort of conundrum, I had taken a bit of meditation and it works wonders, now that I think about it. Yeah, I'll try that tomorrow.
Falling into the Realm of Musicals
I have a friend back in my middle school times, and her nickname is Stone, and she has become a huge fan of western musicals ever since she got into high school. Almost every week, you can see her sharing on her social media about a new musical she had watched that is attached with several lengthy paragraphs about her reflection. This finally, finally propelled by her enthusiasm, I picked from her list a musical called Bare, which was a story about a gay couple deeply closeted in a Catholic boarding school where they are challenged with pressure coming from the ever-prying eyes of the other people. It was such a splendid show! I really want to go into details like Stones always do, but I HAVE NO TIME.End
I am not pleased with myself like this when there are still so many things on my list to do but none can be done with the time left for me. I think I perform horribly when it comes to time management. That is certainly something I can and should reflect upon because it can only get worse when I reach college either in Germany or Taiwan.
Sincerely,
Hugo
