Eating Honey
And just like that, the first year of college is over.
The term is always pretty busy. But in my mind, it is never really so. It is as if I always have something to do, some deadline to meet but I was never really anxious. I don’t really know why, probably something to do with laziness, and something to do with personality. But whatever it is, I am glad that it is over.
I am actually sitting at my desk and typing on the old keyboard. I didn’t switch on the desktop during term at all and somehow, it feels good to type on this keyboard again. The sound of the typing is louder and somehow the keys sink deeper. It is a good feeling. Like that of meeting an old friend.
Which is what I did this week. Met up with those who just like me, just finished term. Like I said, meeting up with friends is always a good feeling. It is like knowing that although everything changed, something still hasn’t/ I don’t really know how to express it but it is nice, seeing everyone and being able to talk comfortably. Which I admit is something I haven’t really been able to do in university. The feeling was never really the same. If only zl is back as well.
I am currently listening to Colin Raye’s Love Me. And totally appreciating my wonderful speakers which I haven’t listened to for god knows how many donkey years. I love my tablet and everything but the speakers sucks big time. And of all the things I haven’t done in a million years, the most expensive must buying albums. I bought 3 albums at once yesterday, cost me 60 bucks. All Jason Mraz. Somehow, I got totally addicted to him during term time. Well, during term time, music is totally my friend. And I had some sort of Jason Mraz craze going on. Totally my kind of music.
There was a minor.. well I wouldn’t say conflict, more like discussion during yesterday’s lunch which made me think for a while. Frankly speaking, I haven’t thought much nowadays and I still haven’t figured it out. It was something about the world being unfair. Well, the topic wasn’t very important since it is long over and no longer relevant for us. But I ran into some problems since I sort of linked it to something else.
If the world is unfair to everyone, does that then make it fair? No matter how I think about it, it doesn’t make much sense. It is like saying, “this applies to everyone”, and yet it never really is the same for everyone. never mind that.
“Well,” said Pooh, “what I like best — ” and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn’t know what it was called.”
I feel a little like that right now.
