I wonder if I'm doing this all wrong... Somehow I seem to be having just enough time to do minimal studying-- i.e. preparing for tutorials and somewhat following the texts for Lit. It's frustrating because I wanted to improve on time management this semester and it doesn't seem to be working out all that well... And then I remember that I'm ( Read more... )

I want to read Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. No reason, except that they sound like exciting, loaded texts. The desire was triggered off when I saw a copy of Wonderland and Looking Glass back-to-back with annotations in Kino last week. It was near the ( Read more... )

瞬变的一年还剩大约9小时就燃烧殆尽了。漫长的9小时... ...

眼前一片漆黑。

真的真的累了；再怎么挣扎也毫无意义。为什么一切一切都是如此地让人虚脱无力？已经心力交瘁却无处可躲... ... 故作坚强：很空虚很空虚，如今连泪水也干涸了；过去明明再痛苦都能在夜深人静时与眼泪相伴入眠，而如今却升华为痛苦的一部份---- 发不出的呐喊，掉不下的眼泪... ... 胸口里的真空膨胀得让人呼吸困难。

觉得自己很没用，很无聊，很可悲；觉得明知可悲却无能为力的自己很可鄙，觉得鄙视自己的自己很可笑……如此的恶性循环。

Happy New Year.

A good thing is that I've finally started making connections between the Industrial Revolution, the French Revolution, the Chartist movement, Romanticism, and the rise of socialism. Yes. And yay for finally registering the relationship between Romanticism and nationalism ( Read more... )
