looking back, its been a super great year!
let's review my resolutions:
✓ 1. get more experience in research and also apply for scholarships
comments: yup. i got a scholarship and i gained many new skills especially during my research in Taipei.
✓? 2. keep working out!! should gain at least 2-3 kg of weight by the end of 2013.
comments: didn't really go to the gym this year but i always did when i was on the break like spring break and winter break. dunno if i gained 2-3 kg :/ i should weigh myself lol.
✓ 3. go to more parties (this should be an easy one since I'll be 21 by March 2013; I seriously can't wait)
comments: i did and i had so much fun!!!
✓? 4. keep the creativity; don't stop taking photos.
comments: well i still took photos but not as much...
i learned and grew a lot personally and in many other aspects.
but it's time to look forward.
my 2014 resolutions:
1. yet again, keep gaining weight. keep eating and working out
2. make major steps in personal life
3. keep up with my good work in lab and school like get more scholarship
4. be a happier person. work on my personal issues like anxiety.

weekend
Friday was basically the same as Thursday.
(kinda like my routine now hahaha)
Saturday same but went partying with F that night.
we went to two bars had some drink and we went to a dance club.
we had lots of fun!
we also talked about deep stuff as we always do.
Sunday.
did chores. dishes laundry. and i also went to my lab.
did go to the gym because i danced too much on Saturday night and i want my body to recover from that plus the workouts throughout the week.
anyway, so far i'm enjoying my break a lot!
and i know i'll be busy again when the school starts.
judging from how many scholarships i'll have to apply and how much work i still need to do for my project....

my acid reflux has been greatly improved since yesterday which is awesome.
still having sore throat and coughing. it's taking forever for me to recover from that.
school works are going well.
a final project is due this week and me and my group are almost done with that.
just have a few more papers to really worry about and most are not due until next week.
and they're not really hard.
i don't even want to worry about my CSE final next Wed. it's easy. I'll just do my best do not want to spend extra time on studying for it.

last week of school facing pretty bad depression/anxiety(?) right now
so my Thanksgiving wasn't so great.
i got sick the second night and threw up twice and had diarrhea
my friend and his family took very good care of me.
(i even got my friend sick and he threw up as well)
i didn't really eat anything for i think two days. cuz i was really afraid that i might throw up again.
but i've started eating again on Sunday. but I'm still feeling weak and stomach still isn't recovered yet.
i am back two years ago when i always felt like throwing up.
i know for sure that's it's my acid reflux so i'm taking my proton pump inhibitor every morning right now
and hopefully i'll recover sometime this week.
and today i just feel awful all the time.
i don't really know why but i just keep thinking very negatively on everything.
like EVERYTHING.
how i am less attractive or desirable than most people, how many work i have to do and i don't think i can do them well... etc.
it's weird how when i'm weak physically makes me feel so anxious and depressed.
but yeh. i really have to go through this week or the stupidest week ever because there's no point of having class right now. it's finals next week and my instructors have basically covered all of the materials.
