Why I'm Constantly Depressed
On top of having a naturally pessimistic disposition, I suspect that it is because my room is always dim and gloomy. For reasons I do not know and did not bother to find out, my roommates do not like turning on the main light, preferring to switch on their own lamps to illuminate the darkness instead. The problem is, it's a lamp. It's hardly bright enough to read without getting more myopic than we already are dammit.
Also, I am growing fat. /bursts into tears
I need to go to the gym more often.
I need to stop eating those burgers at McKinley.
I need to stop having the mindset that because each meal at Brooks is so expensive, I have to eat my fill if not bo hua, and stop filling up plate after plate just because it's an all-you-can-eat buffet.
I swear, I'll come up with a diet plan real soon. Right after I get over with this week and all the assignments due this week.
And also I should make an excel sheet of all my papers and exams wahahaha like those assignment deadlines spreadsheets that proved so useful during my stint in MCM. Guess FMS isn't completely useless after all (kidding, kidding)
I don't know why I feel depressed now. I need to get out of this room, or maybe just have enough courage to switch on the lights.
P/S Supposed to be working on my Frankenstein paper now, oh what a dark story to be writing about, if only we were assigned a happier tale for this course! Today we were discussing about the Albatross in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and I, to put it crudely, could "catch no balls". For my paper I'm gonna write about Safie because she only appears in 3 chapters and I'm too lazy to pore through the book looking for quotes – a tedious task if I were to write about Elizabeth, Henry (although I would love to write about him) and Lao Frankenstein (aka Victor's dad).
Did you all know Frankenstein is the surname of the creator of the monster, and not the name for the monster itself? The monster doesn't actually have a name and is constantly referred to as "wretched being", "daemon", "devil's incarnate". Okay I made the last one up by myself but you get the idea.
