senior second semester.

post winter break.

It's always hard to get back into the "study mode" after a break. Being a senior, post winter break has been quite a drag; it has been quite difficult to motivate myself to get on track. But I am now.

We had two extra days off due to the incredible amount of that coated the roads in Seoul. I was glad, frankly. Yet, it wasn't much fun to be stuck in a bus for four hours with foggy windows.

Now, there are finals coming up soon and all I can do is start studying...it's hard to believe that a semester has passed by already. I guess graduation will come even faster. Bittersweet graduation. Before the sweet second semester, I need to finish first final weeks of this semester. I'm crossing my fingers for this to go smoothly and to soon free myself from all this "final testing stress."

2010.

2010 is a special year: graduation.
In 2010...
I'll be saying farewell to high school,
I'll be saying hello to college,
I'll be visiting Europe for the first time,
I'll be traveling to Beijing again,
I'll be free from college applications,
But many things are left blank...still,
and there are unpredictable events approaching me.

After all, 2010 will be a good year.
A year of life as eighteen.... (almost the last year as a teenager).

inbox phobia.

How many emails do you have in your main inbox? Thousands? Hundreds?
Well, I have five.

I hate it when I log into my account and see a bunch of emails. I hate it when I see spam or ads. I hate it when my emails are categorized. It just simply bugs me.

How can you let your inbox fill up to 23042304230? Does it no bother you?

Yet, having a phobia of excessive mails has its disadvantages. So, yes, I frequently delete my emails and categorize them. I simply assume that some emails are unnecessary. However, it turns out that sometimes, keeping these trivial emails are necessary. Yet, I'm not going to allow my inbox to go over ten mails, at least on the main page. I'll continue to delete what seems unnecessary, but I guess I'l make another category to categorize miscellaneous emails, so I don't have to regret deleting a seeming trivial yet important email.
