omg....seriously jessica.... USE PARAGRAPHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok so u sent me like the longest email ever...well one of.... but there was only 3 paragraphs and two of them were like 3 lines long! dumbest ass!
haha
and dawn is like the cutest thing ever... haha she's cracking me up right now 'cos she was telling me abt her date last night....so cute!!!!! wat she said i mean... and im happy for you girl! haha
yeah so i survived one week..... barely.... still got one more assignment to go...another damn lab report which i have yet to start reading up on.... but still...
3 down! 1 to go......
yay!!
and evidence of how little sleep i've had for the past 2 weeks....yest night i slept at 11.30 and i just passed out till this afternoon at 1pm....and i would have slept longer if my mom hadnt called me... and i need to start on my readings which i have yet to...but tts not the point...
oh have to talk about my personality and social psych lab class last week... we were talking abt norms and conformity... so we did a lil experiment...of sorts... we were splited into groups and made to do something out of the norms...
so there was like a group having to walk side ways; pointing at nothing in the sky or anywhere; forming a queue at unexpected places or in a weird way; standing facing the wrong way in the elevator and my group had to sit in the middle of a pathway or side walk...
and we were supposed to observed people's reaction and stuff when they see us... and yeah we did it in the streets...
it was really funny though...they were alot of people who walked past us and pretended not to have seen us... most of them saw us sitting there from a distance and when they came near us they would either look somewhere else just to appear not to be staring at us or their heads would be looking ahead but their eyes would move to a corner to see what we were up to... oh did i mention that we had to do it alone, with another person, and then later in 3s... so yeah it was hard for tt person doing alone cos it was really weird.. but its actually quite fun
oh and we got chased away by the security guard when we were sitting in the middle of the Union House.... so yeah... point proven...non-conformity makes ppl uncomfortable.....
and u might be surprise but most peopl actually did not even notice us...way less than wat we predicted. so yeah another case of the spotlight effect...ppl dun notice u as much as u think they are.....
oh well...i want more sleep!!!

"One Art"
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
So many things seem filled with the intent
To be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost keys, the hour badlly spent
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owne, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.
-Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.
-Elizabeth Bishop
