わがままじゃないでしょう

この前に明るい日がいっぱいがあるのを言ってくれて。。。

“未来の前にすくむ心が
いつか名前を思い出す
叫びたいほど いとおしいのは
ひとつのいのち
帰りつく場所
わたしの指に 消えない夏の日。”

sometimes we surprise and sometimes we disappoint

first is always your best

Queens' May Ball was magical*!
and i survived until 6 AM... ...probably the latest i've been up, ever.
it was an insanely extravagant party, as all Cambridge May Balls are. four course dinner (the sea bass and duck were scrumptious!) followed by free flow alcohol and snacks throughout the night. live performances (jazz, oh yeah), DANCING, silent disco, bumper car ride hahaha okay that was rather exhilarating at 3 AM in the morning on college grounds!,
oh and fireworks by the river...

too much fun. and i get to do it all over again at Pembroke May Ball tonight but i will probably be half asleep by midnight. Pembroke's theme is Moonlight Masquerade. intriguing!

sorry about the chopping writing. i am rather exhuasted and will have to jump into the shower soon because we get kicked out of Pembroke in the afternoon so they can finish setting up.

i will post photos soon!

what's this, i'm freeee, you say?! :)

i woke up as usual at 8:30 AM even after having fallen into bed five hours ago. it is the first morning in goodness knows how long (er, two solid months?) that i wake knowing there is not ONE OUNCE of reading, writing or studying that awaits my attention today. nor will there be for the next four months.

i am done with Cambridge academics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (i survived!!!)

note, the number of exclamation marks cannot fully capture my happiness and relief. even though exams did not go ideally, at least the dissertation went well :). "Henry James's Metaphors of Fixedness and Mobility in The Ambassadors", a mind-blowingly fascinating topic, if i may say so myself.


so what now? :) it is 9 AM on a saturday morning and the possibilities are endless..!
