Snapshots of my life

Photography is magical. It's like a time machine, forever trapping slices of life in its frames. That's how I always viewed the photos I took. They are like bookmarks, allowing me to flip back and reanimate my memories. It's sad really, to think that they depict states of the world that will never be again, and only lingers with promises of places we can never return to. So why is it that I have yet to take a photograph for so long? Was my life during the past half an year so uninteresting? I have to admit my life had falling into a nice routine. Wake up, school/work, kungfu, rinse, repeat. The excitment is deafening isn't it? Maybe I should pick up the camera, and seek out all the excitment around me again.

Week from HELL

|-rant- This week has got to be the sickest week I've ever had amongst my sorry times spend in this ridiculous institution. I had 5 assignments plus a test. I have a total of 6 courses, and the only reason one of them is so forgiving is because it's Japanese. And there's homeworks and quizzes ::everyday:: from that class. So there I was in school, sitting all day in the computer lab doing algorithm analysis, double-precision float point calculations, and other horrible stuff. I sat in the germ infested study room until almost midnight, and then had to wiggle through the poorest excuse for a street in the unholy bone chilling "autumn" wind, only to find myself bag-eyed the next morning, apologizing profusiously to my Japanese professor and trying to come up with a workable reply to "doushite okuretan desu ka" in Japanese while my brain is still passed out from the wind the night before. How can I not love computer science? -rant-| I'm pretty sure I don't want to be a professional programmer. There was a gradschool fair in BA today. I picked up a number of brochures for Sheridan. I've going to return to the computer animation field. My brain can only take so much greedy approximation algorithm after all.
