It's the start of the weekend and I am very excited to just kick back and relax.
I can read as much as I want and not have a care in the world!
I'm currently reading another book called "Contradictions" by Yang Gui-ja. It's a Korean book that has been translated. So far, it is really good. It has enticed me in and now I am trapped.
The book is a really fast read because of the fluid, flowing dialogue and often realistic thoughts/point of view from the narrator, Jin Jin.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, it is not one of those books, like Twilight, which has kind of a specific audience target. "Contradictions" is a book that I feel anyone can relate to in one aspect or another. As a reader, I could really identify myself in Jin Jin, though we have different lives and problems, the main problem, which is that Jin Jin has her internal demons is definitely present in myself and others. This story is not one full of delicate fruit cake lines and content, it is a lot more emotional and actually psychological, if you really think deeply into it. So, now I really urge you to go and find yourself "Contradictions" and read it till you can't sit still.
Aside from that, I am doing my laundry and the damn laundry machine ate two of my dollars. Fuck. If I could I'd beat it's ass down.
Anyways, my roommate is gone again, this weekend. She always goes home every other week. I don't really mind because I like being in the room alone, especially because the room is small so I feel two people can make it feel really stuffy. Thank God, for these high, raised ceilings. Seriously, these spaceship rooms are something else.
Tomorrow I am going hiking with my friends through the school. The hike is going to be in Marin. I am really excited to get out and see nature. It's nice to just go out and immerse yourself in nature, especially if you live in a city like SF, where there is not much green around, Golden Gate Park does not count because I feel like it is kind of artificial and too sculpted.
Back home, I was always surrounded by greenery and I would hike often with my friends on ridges and stuff. Twas fun. Time to reconnect with mother nature.
So, I have gained some weight, I can't tell how much. But I sure did. I know my body pretty well so if I gain some weight I notice it quick. I am not one to OBSESS over my body but I do like to keep in shape... and whenever I come back to college I always seem to gain so much weight. I blame it on all the stress and late night studying. Plus since I have been so busy I did not have any time to go running and my knee starting acting up.But, now I have started to run again, slowly. It's okay, I just want to get into shape again and lose all the weight I have gained. Muffin's are good and appealing but muffin tops... those are another story.
Okay, I should go get my laundry. Au revoir!
