exams
Temporarily quitting gaming again of course. Except u can't quite really quit. So instead of dota now, i play chess. At least im pursuing some of my aims here. i do actually want to get back into good chess. like have more intellectual pursuits. i kinda miss loving puzzle solving and stuff like that. its just been writing, some philo, some su-do-ku for me. back to chess! and dota strat occasionally: you can't run from it forever....
anyway. i haven't been spending much time in my dorm studying cos its not a place i can focus. always too much happening in there, so i've been studying more elsewhere.
in other news: i think columbia campus is beautiful. and i hate nyu cos all the money disappears and we dont even have a proper campus unlike columbia. but to be fair, nyu has the better location. BUT STILL! A CAMPUS! Grr..
I feel like i dont have NYU pride. Esp cos hardly anyone here does (imo). The thing is that, its not like RJ or RI or AC when u can be damn proud cos of school spirit and stuff. I guess i've been a proud person, much more than i'd be willing to admit. I'm proud of being Rafflesian, Gep, from ODAC, ACPS, (and also of my family and friends for who they are and what they've done but i digress) but not of NYU. And just perhaps its something that i cannot reconcile: that NYU isn't all that americans believe it to be. Sure, it may be a good school, but when the Faculty and Students hate the Administration, it says something. Probably also the only college with NO American Football team. Sigh, and sigh indeed. So much for school spirit, i'd have a better time watching NBA on tv (and mind you, i enjoy watching live RI/RJ rugby matches over EPL soccer).
ok back to studying. bish
