Strange Day 6: You Don't Believe, Because...

I actually don't quite know where to start. So let's start with my study--which reminds me why this blog was named Uni Boy. I'm only on two classes for this term, simply due to the unavailability of classes I haven't taken prior to graduation, and while I was able to take more, the other open classes just weren't appealing to me. They're Network Programming and Project: System Development. To those of you who might be curious of why I'm taking Project: System Development again--yes, again, for the second time, it's becaue I failed the first one. My computer just died at the right time, which reminds me of how many times I have changed computers this year. Four times.

I reckon I've not been making much progress recently. I read my textbooks regularly, but that's just not enough for me. I've done all of my assignments, including unofficial ones, which were actually my friend's essays that the lecturer sent me to revise/recompose. If I still had that much to do, now I wouldn't be blogging here. My current project is still the personal on-demand search engine thing I call NetKite, which is in Java, and still very much untouched, and probably trying to read into SpyBot, which is in C, and is horrid, for me, seriously. What else? Went rafting with friends and uni staff several days ago. It was fun, but I'm just not in the mood to get into the details at the moment. Man, writing this alone is griping, let alone reading. Oh, that rhymes!

Now let me write about something more pleasant. Lately I've been in some fairy tale, melancholic mood--just the perfect mood to write. I blame it on the songs I've been listening to, and probably also the pix I've been stuck staring at a lot lately. Has anyone of you ever heard of this painter John William Waterhouse? It was like, I came across one of his paintings almost randomly, stared at it for a while, fascinated, and was just so inspired to write, and I did went straight off to write the heck off of my mind. But it wasn't enough. I'm still trying to kind of sort my mind out.

Another thing I've been thinking about lately is learning violin--yes, slacking off all days make me think a lot after all. Since I have so much time in hand, I just thought it's just the right opportunity for me to learn at least one musical instrument.

Here's the violin I want. It's not cheap, yet not pricey either.

And here are two of John William Waterhouse's paintings:

I have grown up, somehow.
