as my dad does every Sunday (whether its on TV at 3pm, or he PVR's it from the previous weekend), he watches some sort of Hindi movie. usually its some old school flick from the 70's, but today he watched my fav of them all. (yes, i am probably one of the most white washed brown people ever, but there's those couple Indian classics that are just awesome, with their super addicting songs). i will probably never get old of this 3 hour film, and especially this song. (p.s. for those brown movie noobs, every Indian movies seems to have the same plot: boy meets girl, they fall in love, some sort of problem arises to prevent them from being with each other, and in the end, everything works out perfectly. this movie is no exception!!). here's my favourite song from the movie, with English subtitles, so that you can actually comprehend the high pitch sounds they are singing!! if you ask ANY Hindi speaking person about this movie OR this song, they all will not only know what you're talking about, but will agree that the movie is a classic. so here's some 1999 browness for your day!!

so im taking 4 courses this term, and i actually have time to breathe, think, and actually LIVE without constantly being stressed beyond belief. so far im liking the classes, minus the dizzzgustness of ochem. i like having the time to think, to volunteer, to meet new people and just to enjoy uni more (UNLIKE last term), yet still have enough time to study. so many people i know are uber stressed right now (because for some reason, the norm is to take at LEAST 5 courses per term at UBC, which i think it pretty ridonculous, especially after having to deal with that for 3 terms straight..ewsss). im one of the few taking 4 courses this term. its nice not having a gazillion labs, tutorials, and assignments, AS WELL as having to keep up with extra problems, all the notes, and readings for my classes. one lab every week is more than enough for me after the hell of last term. my goal is to see my Surrey bests more than once every month, to incorporate some exercise, to make sure im up-to-date with my courses and assignments right when readings and what not are given, get back my SC nerd status by getting involved in similar volunteer dealios on campus, as well as to ace a few courses, if not all of them. some pretty intense goals, but i may as well attempt to achieve them.
man hating is still a go, which intensified more so yesterday!! LAWLS!! Sush was quite proud of me after i told her last night, while one of the boy bests again expressed that he thought it wasnt a fab idea. meh. its just easier.
urmmm, what else. OH, if you go to UBC, i reccommend taking FNH 355, ESPECIALLY if Judy Mclean is teaching it. my gosh, you will have a totally different perspective on life if you sit in on even a couple of those lectures, or if you are lucky enough to be taught the course by her. i have never met a woman so passionate about her career, and how much time she has spent abroad researching malnutrition in developing countries. the work she does makes me want to do the same. so interesting, yet so amazing.
datsss ittttttt..for now!!
ear issues
so i think one of those "wow, i totally shouldnt have done that" moments of last summer was getting my tragus pierced. the mofo is not wanting to heal, has a keloid that hasnt gone away for months, and is stupid because it seems like its healing and is about to disappear, then gets mad and starts being mean and getting painful and looking dizzzgusting. gahhhhhh. why did this piercing have to look so pretty on other people, attracting me to it and making me want to get it donezo. its STILL a waiting game, hoping that it will heal. otherwise, surgery to get it removed is in the near future. lamesssssssssssssssssss. ='{
oldieeeeee
i had a sudden craving for some Vengaboys and found this lovely number. i cant believe we wanted dressed like that back then..dizzzzgusting.

so, its the third week into term two. 2 weeks already gone!! that's INSANE! i hated the beginning of this term up until Sunday night..the politics of UBC is UBER stupid. but luckily its done with..probably pissed off some advisers, but whatevs. those constant emails, phone calls, appointments and crying from frustration was worth it in the end (unless my decision was stupid, and it bites me in the butt later on!!!). i've been doing tons of thinking and re-evaluating of my uni career thus far, and trying to decide what to do. changing faculties is becoming a huge consideration (not only is the Faculty of Science CRAP at caring about their students, but i've noticed through all the research i've done in the past month that i'm not even interested in ANY of the specializations they offer!!). i've also been thinking about careers, as well as backup careers, which is making me feel a bit better about my "WHAT THE EFF AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE" situation..but i must admit these are all preliminary decisions, the marks must still be high, and my interest must still be in those options by the end of this year. talking to advisers from MANY specializations made me realize what i like, what i hate, and what is a maybe in my future. its been quite an interesting and hectic two weeks. the amount of stuff that has happened in a time frame of only 14days is amazing..enough stuff to keep someone busy for AT LEAST a month!! but it opened my eyes to wayy too many things; issues i never realized, experiences i will never forget, and changes that will benefit me in the long run. it hasn't been fun, it has been extremely frustrating and emotional, but hey, its done!! time to focus on this term, make sure i do well, and focus on the remaining years of my uni experience. (this blog will sound VERY confusing to those who don't have a clue whats been happening with me, but for those who do, you understand where i'm coming from on this one! =D )

its really frustrating when you want something out of your term, and youre forced to do something you totally dont agree with. i was wanting to drop a chem course, and am being forced to take it. i really dont care about still being considered a second year chem student, mainly because i dont want to remain in the major, and i know this class in unnecessary for anything i want to pursue, and it being a difficult course will force my marks to drop. so why the fuck am i being forced to take it. standard times tables and jerk students who had selfish intentions have forced shitty consequences on students like me who absolutely hate the courses im taking and are forced to have another shitty term. its makes no logical sense.
giving up
it just seems as though everything that i planned, or intentions i had for school, are just not working out. and my plan B's are just falling apart right in front of me as well. i hate school, i hate how nothing is working, i hate i horribly im doing, im just at the point where i dont know what to do with my life and would love to just give up. super start to 2010.
