I'm Still Here, I Guess


Hello again,

Unlike last time, I'm not going to make any promises. By that, I mean I won't promise you that I'll write a blog everyday or put up a song of the week like I used to last year. That doesn't mean that I won't resort to going back to my old habits, but I just don't know what direction I plan on taking this blog in. 

I've had millions of thoughts running around in my head and out of this sea of thoughts sprung forth the idea that I should post in my blog again.

So, here I am. 

The last time I posted was in October 2012, here is what's going on with me these days:

1. I'm a senior in high school now, planning on graduating high school in less than a week.
2. I got my license on January 2013! I have deeply enjoyed having the opportunity to drive to and forth from school every day since. 
3. I made myself a commitment to be committed to fulfilling my schoolwork to the best of my abilities. Well, that never came to pass and I've been lazily going through my academic school year putting minimal effort into everything that I do. As a result my grades have been, well, what they would be if you put minimal effort into everything. I suppose I should be content with what I do have.
4. I got into the top 10% for my class. Which, by the time I figured it out, was well past the deadline for getting into the school I wanted.
5. To emphasize the last point, I didn't get into this school or this school and I feel...shallow.
6. On a more positive note, I got a new computer. Shout out Dell XPS and HP Printers, lol. No love, however, to Microsoft's Windows 8 (ugh), but it is tolerable...and aesthetically pleasing.
7. I have this new passion love for movies. Especially the abstract and artsy sorts, but I still watch other kinds of movies.
8. I need to find some new music.
9. I'm starting to read Reveries of a Solitary Walker by Rousseau. I've only finished the Introduction. So far, I'm not sure what to make of it. But then again, I haven't started reading the book.
10. I can't believe I'm saying this again, but my dad's in India. I certainly don't feel as emotionally attached to that now as I did last summer.

It's been interesting these days and I certainly hope to, through this blog, be able to express all of my thoughts and feelings about all the things that are going on. Even though I'm not content with the ups and downs and where I am right now in life, I guess I just be glad that at the end of the day,

I'm still here.

And in a way, that's what matters.

P.S. This blog is getting revamped a little, again. Some of the widgets don't seem to be working right now.
