you're young until you're not

SO my problems with the bank account and school fees are still unsettled. It's a long story, and I don't feel like repeating it here. But I'm ok. I think. Haha oh well. Everything can be solved. No use getting worried and panicky. I say that now, but I'll probably freak out in a few days over these same issues haha.

Anyway, life has been pretty normal. Which is why I don't blog so often. Cuz I don't really have anything worth blogging about. Haha yes, my life is very boring. School is boring. And I have a flu :( Thanks to the crazy weather.

Oh yeah, Austin was FUN. Except for Sixth Street and the drinking. THat was gross. Sixth Street was crazy, and full of drunks falling all over the place. We couldn't get into any of the places there! Which sucked. Not because I wanted to go in anywhere, but because it was freezing, and I didn't want to walk 15 mins in the freezing cold just to stand around in the middle of a street full of crazy people, in the freezing cold. And the night after, we were smart enough to stay in the hotel room, only to deal with a drunk Aori who came back ranting and dancing. But that was quite hilarious so it was ok haha.

We visited the State Capitol also, which is like the main governmental building in Texas (Austin is the capital of Texas after all). And we went to the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, which was pretty boring I must say haha. It's mostly all Texan propaganda, which a full-blooded Singaporean like me will never understand haha.

Oh so now, we're in the process of planning for Spring Break. It's so exciting! Except when you calculate the potential costs involved. At first we were thinking of flying to Philadelphia, then driving up to New York and Boston, before returning home. But after looking at our projected costs comprising of tickets, car rental and accommodation, we decided to drive up to New York haha. It's cheaper, and we can get to visit more places. Like we can stop over at Memphis, Atlanta and Washington DC, in addition to just the New York area. The only thing is we'd be spending 24 hours in a car, and we'd have to rush from place to place in order to maximise our 1 week. But who cares, it's cheap! Yes we're a bunch of cheap Singaporeans who'd trade comfort for low costs anytime hahah.

So I'm really looking forward to it :) I just wish February could "poof!" and disappear so I can zoom straight into March haha. Yeah, and because all my midterms are in February :((((

Anyway, I'm off to read my textbooks! Oh, speaking of which, I've received them already! THanks Qinyao (and JJ and Kaishi, and whoever's involved)!! And Mummy! (Though I doubt she'd see this.) I promise I'll treat you guys to lunch or something when I'm back haha. Btw, about the LHC elections, I don't know what's going on so I can't vote or anything, so you all should just treat me as a neutral party and leave me out of your campaigning and stuff haha. But all the best to both parties anyhow!

Weather update: Freaky as usual. 3 deg one day, and 16 deg the next. Welcome to Texas haha.

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
