I’m the creator of Chiaroscuro, where I write about an array of topics, ranging from philosophy and psychology to fashion and food. Underlying all my interests is my passion for understanding people and how they live. I’m fascinated by the beauty and connections found in everyday life, and my goal is to highlight and share them in personal and meaningful ways.

warm autumn afternoon

I finally got a break from all this crazy work. Managed to catch up sleep (yay!), enjoy a super warm day (almost too warm), beautiful autumn scenery, and painting my nails red. The color is almost…too sexy for the hand. I don’t know, it’s almost too diva-like, too glamorous, too…much? But it’s fun to venture out of my comfort zone I suppose. Oh I also finally put up my dries roses, after hanging them for a week or so 🙂

Tomorrow will be back to work: research paper draft, corporate finance paper, and LAW APPLICATIONS (Boston college & Cornell). AHH.

I’m still sadly undecided between Chicago and NYU :\

Reading Chicago Law website just makes me feel like the school and I click. On the other hand, I’m also very much excited and impressed by what NYU has to offer. *sigh*

exhausted

I haven’t felt this level of exhaustion since…I don’t know, freshman year? 1.5 months left. It’s not a long time, considering how much I have to do in that span of time. Yet, how I wish I could just fast forward to the holidays, when I will finally have a real break and see the friends I have not seen since last Christmas.

But life is good, I must keep telling myself.

book bagging for the last time

this is kind of sad. last book bagging 😦

Here are the current selections:

  1. intro to econ history
  2. symbolic logic
  3. programming analysis II
  4. chinese (doesn’t matter which one, they are all at the same time MWF. grr)
  5. hist/phil perspective on science
  6. thesis (not shown)
there goes my long weekend hopes...

there goes my long weekend hopes...

a bit insane? yeah, I’m hopeless.

Senioritis is not an option

Even though I’ll be a second semester senior, chances are I will end up taking five classes again, if not 5.5 I guess senioritis won’t be an option for me :\

Here are the classes I’m considering as my fifth class:

  • compsci 100: yes I’m a dork. I miss programming. The scary part is, I don’t remember much at all about Java. Crap.
  • phil 241: It’s taught by Janiak, who was the one professor that challenged me the most in philosophy, so I have no doubt this seminar would be intellectually rewarding and fun. Oh the other hand, it will probably be lots of work. Another plus is that I have no done or read anything like the material taught in this class. Very tempted.

I wish I didn’t have to take Chinese, or dropped the econ major long time ago. *sigh* I should have been a compsci + philosophy double major. How cool would that be?

lost

i suddenly can’t find either my ring that I got from greece or my pair of pearl earrings. this is gonna bother me for a while. especially the ring part, b/c I can’t replace that unless i go back to freakin’ Naxos O_O. f*ck.
