haven't finished my post on the album review. it's currently quite low on my priority list, especially with my earphones being sent in for repair. in any case, i'm not really in the mood.
met my UROPS professor today to discuss about the research module that i'm undertaking. i'm expected to work in the lab for about 20 hours weekly. the thought of that is purely depressing. the research paper that he gave me to read is so freaking difficult.
it's just the huge contrast with my life a few days back. the contrast is so stark it smacks me right in the face. before i can fully adapt back to reality, school is already giving me a tough time. even eating dinner reminds me of how Taiwan food is so cheap yet so good.
i've yet to start on my post on the Taiwan trip. i guess it'll come out before the album review still lol. but many things that happen in Taiwan just appear in my mind now. reading the 那些年 book on the train and in the bathtub. eating at 士林夜市. watching stupid and random shows on tv. walking through the different 诚品 stores.
i need to slowly adjust back to this city. the city with horrible weather, horrible metro system, horrible service standards, horrible food (and bubble tea of course) and many other horrible parts of it. lol. still, i must be thankful for the things and people in this city that still deserve my love and who love me too. at least, they help to make life a bit easier for me.
