「土」Respit

Night falls. Or has fallen. Why is it that night falls, instead of rising, like the dawn? Yet if you look east, at sunset, you can see night rising, not falling; darkness lifting into the sky, up from the horizon, like a black sun behind cloud cover. Like smoke from an unseen fire, a line of fire just below the horizon, brushfire or a burning city. Maybe night falls because it's heavy, a thick curtain pulled up over the eyes. Wool blanket. I wish I could see in the dark, better than I do. 
— Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale (191)

Feelin dramatic at home. Last few days of rest before I start work on Monday. Very unsure of how that's gonna be. I'd rather be drinkin coffee all day

「木」Nearing the End


I'm not ready to leave here for many reasons.


 Too many tests, not enough motivation to study. Kinda sad to think that things won't be the same next year.
I started reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. I really like her style so far, but this is just another way for me to procrastinate.

「水」The Grind

Back to school, back to a pile of work. But before I came back to school, spent an afternoon in Palo Alto with my sister. We went in a nice bookstore, but all the books were classics/vintage and not cheap at all. And no Chuck Palahniuk.
George Orwell... so many different publishers. Still need to read most of these. I've only read Animal Farm and 1984.
Saw this one and thought of my sister. Her two favorite things: Hokusai and Math! but blurry pic.

I really want to get a USC sweatshirt. Probably the black one.. but they never have small sizes.. I've been back twice already. Maybe I should get a batman sweatshirt instead.
