I have not given up on this blog yet lol. I know it has been quite a while since my last entry, and in all reality, I'm sure not many people read this anyway. I just finished my last exam which is for C11, and my summer vacation officially begins. I have about 3 weeks until fall session comes, which is enough of a break I guess. Though i should be overjoyed that I'm finally finished summer school, I don't feel any different than before. I assume that summer school has sucked the life out of me, leaving me devoid of emotions. Or it could be because I haven't slept much lately and i'm just tired right now.
In all honesty though, it's not like i was working hard throughout the summer. It was still pretty 'chill'. However, it is because having been through 3 semesters in a roll now (with pretty much a full course load) have left me burnt out. It's like I've been at school forever. And with such great weather, you cannot help but think of the things you could be doing (work, beach, sports, etc.) instead of wandering the dark concrete hallways of UTSC. Though it's not all bad. I've met some new people, Amitay's (C11) class is awesome, and Leonard's film class is pretty interesting. Hopefully I get into both of Amitay's D levels for next term.
The end of this summer term also marks the end of my 3rd year at UTSC, and damn, these 3 years sure blew by. It didn't feel like a long time has passed since i was a freshman at frosh, though upon introspection, I think I've changed quite a lot since i entered the university. For some reason i'm less joyous than i was in high school. Perhaps i failed at achieving the university experience, or maybe it is just a natural process that occurs as one ages. As one grows older, there is more responsbilitiy thrust upon us and there are a number of things that we have to consider now. Especially now that i'm entering my last year, I have to worry about what the hell i'll be doing after I graduate and the prospect of having to move within a couple of months is adding to the confusion. I remember in elementary and high school, all that mattered was what happens the next day. Nonetheless, as much as i dislike university, it played a crucial role in shaping who i am today. I guess you can say the experience builds one's character. I know more about myself now throughout these years. I know what kind of person I am and what I am not. Kind of weird how it takes time to realize who we are, yet we've been ourselves now for 20 or so years. THough at the same time it makes sense, because our experience in society is what shapes us. Genetics alone are not what defines us. Anyway i'm going off on a tangent here.
Normal Stuff
Now that school's done I can focus on the cruise that's around the corner now. I'll be gone to florida this sunday to board the 'Freedom of the Seas'. I don't really know much about it aside from the fact that it is part of Royal Carribean Cruise and i'll be gone for a week. All that mattered is that it's a cruise, which i've never been on before. Got less than a week now to make up for the work outs i missed since exams and final assignments lol. I'll try to take some good pictures and blog them when i get back.
Also i got a new phone now. It's the sony k660i, and i like it. It's not bulky and looks stylish. Screen resolution is much better than my old phone. I'm not exactly an advocate of new gadgets, but my old phone just sucked. It ran out of batteries in a day, and i get no reception anywhere. It eventually died on me and now i have this. Basically i just needed a phone that was reliable, have long battery life, and can play mp3s as ringtones. I don't need all the fancy functions of an iPhone. So this new sony phone is perfect. I've been using it for 2 days now and it barely used a quater of the battery life. Mine is like the black one in this picture, except that purple part is metalic blue (or aqua, i don't really know my colors).
Oh yea, it also has a 2 mega pixel camera, so the pics i'll post in the future will look much better than the ones I have up before. Anyway this is enough for now, time to get stuff for the cruise and perhaps a much needed haircut.
