Winter break has started! But it feels odd, very different from the winter breaks of the past 3 years, like it isn’t actually winter break. The whole transition from finals week to winter break had been a blur. I had a long-ass paper due at 5PM on Friday; it’s a 30-page paper that I had to […]

OCCUPY FINALS
So that paper I complained about in my previous post? I finally completed it. At 10p.m, the day after it was due. But no matter, it was a ridiculously tough paper to write, and I’m more than happy that it’s over and done with. It’s basically a paper on religious identity and what it means for […]
Homework, Rabbitts, Hawkeye
Helloooooo! It’s been a crazy, crazy, CRAZY 2 weeks! I definitely think this semester is the most hellish of all my semesters at Grinnell. In just these two weeks, I have written a total of 43 pages. Can you imagine that? Just page, after page, after page… all this in addition to regular class homework. […]
Islam paper
wOOT! Just handed in my religious studies paper. 5 pages down, 29 pages of total writing to go! My professor is so stupid. I’ll tell you why soon. I dislike him, and so do my friends, because he always talks in a long, convoluted manner using big words, when in fact the message is actually […]
Rolling waters
I can see the wave again. That huge-ass tsunami of schoolwork that comes several times every semester. This time, it’s a 12-page paper and a 15-page paper due November 30th and December 1st respectively. That is exactly three weeks from now!! I have to complete 27 pages of writing in three weeks!!!!!!!!! I also have […]

Studied for a French mid-term exam and a Religious Studies mid-term exam, wrote a 5-page theory paper (theory paper ahh! dun play play, not easy!), wrote a freaking FIFTEEN PAGE PAPER, and completed an […]
Fatiguée
I am SO TIRED. This is one of those weeks where I wish I was home, far, far, faaaar away from school and homework and exams and freaking papers. Oh, the papers. I had a 5-page social theory paper that was due Tuesday, and on Friday I have a 15-page research paper and an outline […]
Just at the library
So right now I’m at the library, doing 3 things at the same time. (I was doing 3 things, but am now doing just one – blogging. But why be so literal.) All at once, I am (was) 1. reading a french text about 19th century impressionism 2. memorizing korean vocabulary 3. observing my surroundings […]
Misérable, seriously.
Grrrr I am so mad and frustrated, I can almost really hurt someone right now. My french professor gave us a few pages of Victor Hugo’s “Les Misérables” to read. It is not easy reading even in english, now you’re asking me to read in FRENCH!!!!!nooooooooooo!! So after 2 hours of looking up words one […]
At 2 in the early morn
I was in bed, with the lights off, ready to fall asleep any minute. And suddenly three semi-drunk Asian girls burst into my room without knocking, freaking scared the crap out of me. Can you imagine you being in bed in the dark, and suddenly someone forcefully opens the door and rushes into your room […]
