Holidays! As expected, the to-do list has been growing and growing at a healthy rate (: Or maybe ):

I don't know. Both?

So I have a lot of math to catch up on considering I missed another all-important lesson (aren't they all?) on Thursday and I spent most of Friday's struggling to copy all the worksheet answers down (the relief teacher writes amazingly fast on whiteboard). Yeah and doing rubbish with Emily and Zi En like going "I UNDERSTAND! HAH!" and then finding that the time you had taken off to exclaim your ecstasy significantly set you back for the next question. Emily says specs make me look intellectual.


And and I hate that I ran so much today but I don't feel accomplished AT ALL because I could've gone faster and as a result of my slackness I don't even feel like I ran at all. In fact, I think I just let myself jog most of the time ): Shall go read Pearl Izumi's Running Preservation book for motivation for tomorrow(: http://www.wearenotjoggers.com/home#/book/
That's really good stuff.


"A long time ago, I was on the verge of committing suicide when a guy came to the roof to have lunch. He saw me climbing over the railing and asked me to share his lunch with him. After receiving my puzzled look, he explained, “everyone should die happy. or at least with a full stomach.” We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last month. GMH."
Wow.
In case you're wondering, GMH=Gives Me Hope (http://www.givesmehope.com)


I love how Motion City Soundtrack can actually perform lyrics that wouldn't otherwise have looked like lyrics. And make them really good. So much better than Breaking Free, which couldn't really hide the strange lyrics as well. I mean, it sounds good if you don't pay attention to the way the lines don't really flow like how they're supposed to but if you do it's pretty ...
So anyways I liked Hold Me Down by MCS. If you look at the video on YouTube the comments section has become a breakup advice help forum haha which is pretty cool. And which also proves how great MCS is at writing songs.

I'm sorry that you were asleep when I wrote these words down
You'd think I ought to be used to that by now
Save for a few of those late night episodes, missed opportunities, And I don't cares; There's not a lot that I feel obliged to share or talk about
I'll have my brothers stop by this Saturday to pick up my things
Just make sure you're not there
This may sound bad and don't take it the wrong way

I mean, does this LOOK like a song to you? And yet it sounds sooo good! Or maybe just to me (: Now I finally understand why breakups make for such great songwriting material. Separate Lives, Goodbye Love etc. all great breakup songs.
