Round 1

Maybe its the heat. Maybe its just the stress from the impending exams. But whatever it is, I've given in. I've started my first blog.

Somehow thoughts tonight just wound up along of the lines of my msn conversation of Sae Wei weeks ago. And then I recalled a sentence I read off one of the Cowboy's Post: you blog because you have no mouth but must scream. Tonight, after 2 hours of frustrated half-assed attempts to solve polytropic expansion question, I finally comprehended what he meant.

*Spoiler: Rant ahead*


Tonight, after a simple dinner and getting a couple of personal projects done, I headed off to the University library to study. Somehow learning at home was never really 100% efficient - there is the TV and then the Internet. I've learned to catergorize my activities and their corresponding locations. Hochschule - lessons, labs, project work & discussions; Library - just studying(I think I deserve credit for being able to actually focus on my material instead of checking out every other chick that strides in and rating her in the head automatically lol); at home - meals, chatting, chilling, and now, blogging;)


At around 2340, a certain sense of hopelessness twinged with fear started clouding my mind. My concentration just went downhill from then. Reading and re-reading the text(in german), I suddenly couldn't understand a thing. I decided to give up the current question and proceeded with the next. Damm! Also another polytropic one. And the next. And the Next. Wtf...-__-

Here's a shot of the gritty old Business Library where I was:

This is how it looks like when Stan is at work(heh): The HP iPaq for music, The Wall Street Journal waiting to provide a good distraction

And just like that, my thoughts drifted to blogging. Thought about the template. Pondered over the title. Wondered which language to blog in. Until it was time to leave...and I admit, on the ride home, like a little boy looking forward to his first chocolate, I was intrigued and excited.

So there you have it: My first, virgin blog post on blogspot.com.

Oh, there goes the gong! End of Round One!
