What's new, Ivan?

What's new? Actually nothing much. Other than for the new year, things are pretty much the same. Yeah i know i've been really lazy the past few weeks (or months, i'm not one to take note really), not blogging and stuff. So, to to my defence, i'm going to say and whine that the exams were a pain in the ass, i've been out of the country most of the time and i've started playing WoW (uh-oh) again.

First things first, the exams. Even after taking them for the past don't-know-how-many-years worth of them, i still find them a pain. Worse still in Uni, seeing those assholes mugging gives me the creeps. Worse is i think that it is rubbing off on me. I haven't studied properly in oh 5 years? and all of a sudden i find myself staying late in the library poring over books barely understand. Ah, how life has changed over 4 months of school. Even then i still try and maintain a cool, laid-back image which may or may not suit me. Behind the facade, i'm just another mugger toad, the very species i've grown to detest so much. Anyway, i'm not really complaining i guess. I did better than i expected so i guess the studying is paying off.

Out of the country? Yeah. Spent a rather enjoyable trip to Genting with the fencing team and a week in Japan with the parents. No pics because i don't own a camera (hint hint, you know what i need for my next birthday =) ) so that's too bad. I really liked Japan. The food was excellent, people friendly and the weather awesome. Not to mention the sites which were impressive and educational at the same time. Fair enough i took a module in Japanese studies in my first sem. At least it helped me appreciate the culture and history of the country better. Would love to go there again. I just need the money. Anybody care to sponsor me? Haha.

Let's not talk about WoW. Its bad enough that i'm playing it again and wasting my life at the same time. For that i think i deserve some pity? Haha.

So yeah. What's new Ivan? Its a new year and a new semester in school. I'm already over my head with readings and its only the first week of school. 3 stupid books by long dead greek fags who think they understand the whole world. Stupid Plato and Socrates and Aristotle. Ancient Western Political Thought. Lol. 8 chapters by next week? Like i have no idea that most of what people think of as European history is all a sham. And guess what? The module has nothing to do with European history per se. European Politics. Lol. It seems that only International Relations and Comparative Politics are the only ones with sane reading lists. Well, its my fault for wanting to be a Political Science major. It was the only reasonable choice anyway, so i can't and won't complain anymore.

Anyway, Happy New Year to whoever reads this. I know its kinda late, but better late than never right?
