Listening to: "Lighting Crashes" - LiveI'm becoming addicted for Taiwanese idol dramas. Most people are fans of Korean dramas, but I like Taiwanese and Japanese ones b/c they're more humorous (although Korean romantic comedies are a hoot). The Taiwanese dramas are fun b/c sometimes they're based off of manga, the most famous being Meteor Garden (the adaptation of Hana Yori Dango. Right now I'm into Devil Beside You, and I'm trying to find the manga. It's a typically shoujo story of good girl crushing on good boy and getting harassed by and eventually falling for bad boy. ^_^ I'm such a sucker for those storylines. My romantic side wants to find a bad boy to reform, but as Becky puts it, I'm more likely to be reformed by him. ^_~
This morning when I checked my facebook account, a friend from high school emailed me for advice on time management and studying. Surprisingly I had some helpful hints, but I need to start listening to myself. Then I realized that this year has been for me what most people's freshman years are for them. For high school outcasts like me, college is when we "get a life." My friend and I both kind of regret becoming more social this year b/c there was a price to pay: our grades. I hate having to struggle in all my classes and worry about failing. However, I wouldn't have survived this year w/o my friends, and I'm much happier than I was in high school. I think college is a time to try knew things and to learn how to balance work and play. I'm a slow learner, but I hope I find that balance soon.
Okay, I'm going to do something slightly different w/ my quotes. It's still Shakespeare, but instead of every day phrases that he came up w/, I'm gonna venture into the world of insults. This should be fun!
