So, what has been going on in the life of Ms. Scissors, besides nearly being torn apart by a pack of angry wolves, nearly getting robbed, being harassed by a foot fetishist, and falling into a stream?*

Many, many things. To begin with — university has started. Even though my major is a major canker in my life (no pun intended), I am enjoying it. The times when I have been pushed around, picked on or insulted is rather diminute, especially when compared to the rest of my school career. In fact, I haven’t been intentionally pushed or picked on (I might have been insulted, but that might have been due to the fact that I was in a crowd showing their support for same-sex marriage rights, and thus the usual homophobic and ignorant comments were heard). I have met many people, and the number of smart conversations has increased.

Scissors has also been having some personal issues, you might hear, but in all truth it’s just the usual bumping around in the road of life (ah!). Parents do not seem to be very happy, eh. Regardless, the last I heard of her she was trying to save up enough money for a foreign trip next Summer. Might or might not happen.

In any case, I’ll try to keep this updated more often. It was not lack of matter to update on, but rather lack of time/mood to do so. Let’s just say that 5 AM breakfasts after a night of karaoke, academic issues, studying Chinese and boating have been distracting enough.

Many spoonfuls of sugar,

Rambles Part 1

No matter how much I enjoy posting about soap, I must really say I have a strong desire to ramble about:

1. University. The fact that I cannot make up my mind between Asian Studies and English Literature is bothering me, because I love the latter but… university may dissect it endlessly, and I do not want to stop liking it. Ever. Of course, not attending classes is not an option, because I need a degree. So, out of wanting to keep my favourite works of literature intact — Medicine College is for dissecting, not Literature! — I might choose Asian Studies. Also, it gives me the chance to travel. But on the other hand, Literature is LOVE.

2. My attic-like bedroom & the hottest summer in 25 years. ‘Nuff said.

3. The fact that my anti-virus pop up windows are showing up black with the word ‘warning’ on them, instead of actual text, because my computer has half a dozen windows open and refuses to open more.

Expect part 2 soon.
