What is a nervous breakdown?
A nervous breakdown can be described as an acute emotional or psychological collapse. The term nervous breakdown is not a medical term, but rather a colloquial term used by the general public to refer to and characterize a wide range of mental illnesses. It generally occurs when a person is unable to function in social roles anymore, experiencing severe depression or feelings of being out of touch...
I’m not sad, i’m just not happy. No one understands. No one can help me, only I can help me.

I think sister cities are cute :)

Today I cut off a car. Had two shots. Failed at buying palty flash bleach. Strolled at Nordstrom & Ikea with parents. Found super cute ankle boots. Found beautiful brown & enamel oxford pumps (I have a thing for oxford shoes). Didn’t buy neither :( Convinced parents to buy a bookcase on sale Jan. 1 for next years apartment.
I ate:
1 1/2 bananas
half a toast

Dream Access
Just woke up from a morning ‘nap.’ I slept at 800am. Trying to keep my dream fresh. It was reaccessed. The nightmare. I didn’t even remember it till now. I think it was a continuation or recap of the dream I had last night’s nap.
In the dream, I was retelling my experience to a stranger who was my friend. They didn’t care much of it, but it was about someone or...
Verdict?
Fighting takes too much out of me (very rarely do I fight). I’m just the observer. Observe. It’s all I do. Even so, it hurts my head. But I think in doing so, I’m now able to see the silk thread between my family-it is pretty twisted and dramatic in comparison to ‘normal’ families. I think it has something to do with traditional family values.
In the end the...

MySpace kills Imeem. →
F#$% Myspace!Why did you take over Imeem and destroyed the perfect formatting for music playlists?! This didn’t affect me as much, since I didn’t upload a lot of music but Imeem was the source for custom music playlists and the main way I discovered new artists. Thanks to you myspace ‘music’, mixpod runs on youtube vids now =_= Unforgivable. Give it back! D:
In the end we all lie down, so let’s live in oblivion.

My sister’s a bitch. I’m just an obese fatty who no one will love.
What is your purpose for living? For most people, the idea of death is what makes life worth living and I’m searching for what makes life worth living. The idea of death…people just want to go to heaven, they don’t want to die. I don’t know what death is, but I tell myself I’m not afraid of it. So fear of death does not give my life meaning, what does? The value that...

English's Bleak Future
Nicholas Ostler 02.21.08, 6:00 PM ET
The status of English as an international language appears unassailable. It is simultaneously pre-eminent in science, politics, business and entertainment. And unlike any of its lingua franca predecessors, it has all this on a truly worldwide scale. There is no challenger comparable to it: Chinese has more native speakers, but every schoolchild in China...

Time will tell.
+So I got a haircut yesterday. It’s shorter than my shoulders and I have bangs again, so i guess it’s the equivalent of a ‘modern bob’. It doesn’t look that bad. I think it’s uneven in some parts o_O but that makes it ‘cooler’ neh? lol.
When I was getting it cut at the salon, there was a woman that was also getting her haircut there too. Omg. She...
Xmas wishlist
Moop. Too tired to post anything significant.
Things I did and am doing all day/night: post up textbooks for sale, buy textbooks, plan classes and study abroad for the next 3 years, read up on <Becoming a Translator> and <Insider’s Guide to the UN>, look up translations grad schools, scholarships, internships, opportunities in general, buy GRE and IELST books, look up language...
A Declaration
I think this was a dream…but I remembered a sudden want to paint in blood on the walls, a declaration of my feelings. Something about…”Go ahead. Do it. Leave me to rot and die in a hole. My purpose in life is slowly dimming.”
Finals day 4
Can I start dying now?
Okay, that was an exaggeration, but my mom DEFINITELY made my day a whole lot worse. Called me. Took up 30 minutes of my time to talk about future career. Pissed me off. Then called me again when I finally started studying to say that I don’t need to go to college anymore. WTF. I’m trying to study here. =__= And you call and piss me off. GRRRR. Do we really need...
Finals day 3
HAHA biggest fuck-up everrr.I was walking with Tweek at 0930am to go to the print center, and he asked how I did on the music final. Freaked out, because I thought it was at 0130pm, which was what I wrote on my planner and cellphone. Ran back to the dorm to check. SHIT. Scrambled around and got stuff. Knocked on people’s doors to get a scantron. Pumped those legs to the music building and...
Finals day 2
Took adderall and stayed at the library for 12 hours straight, no food. Finished an extra credit research essay for stats and studied for 4 hours for music. I think that’s the most brain power/focus I’ve ever maxed out.
Note: I chewed gum very intensely for 4 hours, because it makes your jaw clenchy and as a result my jaw muscles hurt all the way up to my temples.
Studying Net Total:...
Finals day1
Studied last night from 1200-330 am. Drank Go Girl! energy drink. I wasn’t sure if it was because i slept 11 hours or whether it was the ‘drank’ that I studied so late into the night.
Slept ‘till 1130am. It was nice riding along with the rolling leaves. Econ review from 1210-200pm.
Returned hoodie at MU.
Pearl milk tea & spicy popcorn chicken from the Old Teahouse.

Investment
I need to invest more time…
The Moral Hazard of College
Once a student gets into college, they’ll be less diligent and studious simply because they’re in college.
Tonality
The quality of the sound is the union of speed and pressure on the bow.

The Oak tree
There’s something about eating a good sandwich and studying next to a large old oak tree with birds chirping around. It’s the best. Once again…forget what else I wanted to say. They were mostly sayings I developed for the day. They’ll resurface sooner or later.
Borrowed some books from the library: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2062833
