Updates.
I am going to write a real and non-cryptic entry tonight.
My series of Islamic law lessons ended tonight and finally- no more 3 hour late night classes every monday to wednesday. The professor was a visiting professor who teaches at Mc Gill so the farewell today was rather emotional and grand- a terriby sweet and funny story packaged in powerpoint form and a gift presentation. In all honesty, i didn't like this class as much as i thought i would- too much legal history, and i hate history. Anyhow, a group of us went out to celebrate and i finally went to Timbre. nice place, but i realise places like timbre and wala make me feel morose. i think alternative music generally does, and when they play sad songs like the scientist by coldplay, or old songs like time of your life by greenday, it makes you feel super nostalgic because the song either was of special significance or reminds you of old times- and people never get tired of talking or thinking about the good old days back in secondary school or college- it was just too much fun.

Life in general has been pleasant. School has been busy but somewhat fulfilling- i'm really enjoying my international environmental and policy class, its so geography-ish in some ways and i think thats the closest i will ever get to some semblance of geography in law and i'm lovin' it. treaties are fun to learn about. and despite the campus being terribly messy and largely still under construction, i'm glad that i at least have somewhat of a private room to return to during long breaks; cca rooms are highly beneficial that way.
Speaking of cca, probono has been lined up with activities this coming semester and i'm really quite excited, especially the McKenzie Pilot Scheme that we're working on with the law society. Basically, we act as lay assistants and help people who cannot afford legal representation by running through procedural instructions and documents with them and sit through court hearings with them. good stuff. also, the car wash event to raise funds for our projects starts tomorrow, and its been a mega long time since i last washed a car so. i'm quite looking forward to that as well (:
btw, i really love this comic i found (:

School this semester also feels like rjc all over again because my batch of guys have entered law school and there are way too many guys from rj coming in this semester. add to that, the perennial ex boyfriend. out of sight and out of mind has always worked for me when trying to move on, but seeing him around doesn't help. he wants to pursue the relationship again but of course people who know me well and who read this know that he's been scum and despite the mistakes i may have made in the relationship that we shared in the past, they were nothing compared to the scale and magnitude of his wrongs which eventually snowballed towards the end because he just wasn't feeling it so he said and he wanted his freedom. and for the past many months i gave him what he wanted and i felt the burden and weight that i was feeling for a long time finally lifted (because sometimes you don't know how deep a shtihole you're in till you're out of it) and now he wants it all back because he says he's sick of playing the field and he realises that playing just isn't his cup of tea.
Why are men so disgustingly selfish?

But there is much to be thankful for as always, in every situation and in every season. The continuous sense of change is felt very strongly- an old tuition assignment terminated but a new one coming in; the deterioration of a relationship with an ex student but another ex student (totally unrelated to the former) steps in and the relationship is steadily growing... God sure has a strange way of intervening, but it also shows me that He knows my needs and He truly provides.
In other news, i have 3 papers to submit in a few weeks and there is much research to be done.
I wish i could spend more time with people i've been meaning to spend more time with, but there's too much to be done right now. I really do miss some of you especially, and foremost on my mind are eunice, josh, jeremy, and gabriel- of whom i didn't get to meet up with at all the whole time he was back because i just.didn't.have.the.time. :(
Also, Sinyee flies to France tomorrow for a whole good year, and i will miss YOU dear. Do keep in touch, i'll definitely be reading your blog regularly. (: much love.
