Tales of the emo kid

School makes me an emo kid. Honestly. It doesn't make me whine. It makes me bitch.

I have been carrying around the Material Science book everywhere I go, like it's my Bible. Hoping that one day, I would feel like whipping it out and enthusing myself in the content (It hasn't happened yet). That subject basically contains everything I hate in physics and chemistry. Then there is classical physics. Let's not even go into that.

Instead, I usually just whip out my TIME magazine and get lost in it. Accidentally of course. But, completely justified. The world is getting far too interesting, like the best thriller in years. And, TIME mag is the most interesting read. I am sick of finishing it too fast. This drives me to my wits' end, because I have nothing to read for the rest of the week.

US elections in 2 weeks! Oh the exciting life! Obama better win. I swear, I will shoot myself in the head, the day Sarah Palin becomes the American President or anything close to it. What were they thinking? What was McCaine thinking?? I actually liked him before he got the Republican nomination. Then he became strange, unreliable, and senile.

That reminds me. I want to do a double major or at the least, a minor, in political science. I can't get it out of my head. I have NO idea WHY I am in engineering. Goodness. My ideal has always been an International Relations major, followed by a Masters in Public Policy/Admin. I am sick of chasing the Indian dream. It's far too overwhelming for me. Maths, physics, then maths, and physics again, and again. Give me a break. I have never been quite the chummy with these things. I find myself thinking about changing my course far too many times for my liking. I hate being so indecisive..

Then again, the crisis maker in me commits suicide when it sees the content of my current modules, though the procrastinator remains unscathed. So in the end, I end up doing nothing, or typing out random entries like this. Now you know why I got a blog.

“I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, To put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die Discover that I had not lived.”

-- Henry David Thoreau
