- I'm here here here!!!
Ahhh the title's not prominent enough - it's my very enthusiastic/exuberant/ebullient (SAT words!) reply to Hazel's lament about the probabilities of my seeing her post in order to prove to the world that I am not MIAing but actually posting.
Albeit a little late.
But anyway, HAPPY CNY GUYS. Or girls. One girl, in fact. Find great joy in being cynical about visiting relatives whose names you don't know anyway or even how they are related to you (Uncle vs. 二姑丈: How You Can Tell The Difference in Cultural Values Between Westerners and Chinese/Asians By How Relatives Are Addressed, authored by Sandra Tan, going at $15.99)! Delight in your expanding waistline and increased rates of heart disease, cancer and all other forms of diseases known to man as a result of
ba kwas and pineapple tarts and the white floury things and the slightly spicy spring roll-looking things and so on. Gladden your hearts at the thought of all the hongbao money being
invested in the bank, forgoing the opportunity cost of impulsive post-CNY spending.
Why am I being so... vituperative? (SAT: Using Obscure Words Only Once, Except for the Occasional Blog Post)
Anyway, I'm taking PCME! Yeah I dropped geog ): I spent really long over the geog/econs dilemma and talked to many people but the reasons against geog were too strong (in fact the only reason why the dilemma lasted for so long was because I was emotionally blackmailing myself with the love of geog - I'm sure that doesn't make sense). Aiyah, the geog syllables is lousy, the way it's being taught is lousy, I heard the teaching dept is lousy. Econs is much more relevant now, not only financially/career-wise but in understanding how the world works and everything geog-ish which JC geog will never be able to provide.
Rant aside, I have a substantial post! = how much I procrastinate SAT studying D:
