just came back to pittsburgh from puerto rico an hour or two ago. greeted by "light snow". heavy snow = blizzard, i guess. a good inch or 2 of snow on the ground, entire shoe caked in snow when you walk around -__-. last thing i needed as i got off the bus from the airport.


but it does have a certain allure.

leaving in 10 hours for florida ! sigh, back to the airport again. thinking i shouldve just stayed at the airport hotel.

but then i wouldnt be able to do my laundry

i feel like going for a walk outside =[

its 6 degrees out, amazingly, and doesnt feel cold. yet cold enough that your breath frosts. and the sun isnt out though its 2 in the afternoon. Slight drizzle, might have stopped already. And theres a hint of mist in the air.

beautifully emo weather to take a walk in.

no one to walk with, and exam in tow.

fffuuuuuuuuuuuuu

what precedes it is emphasised, by its omission.

first experience of snowfall today. woke up and view out my window looked queer; the background didnt look as clear as before, but it wasnt the condensates on my window. it was the snowflakes gently floating toward the ground.

so a little update on major happenings

was in nyc for thanksgiving. arrived in the morning at 6, freezing our butts off. first stop times square for breakfast. then went to the metropolitan museum of art, which was enormously huge, spend a couple of hours but only realised we explored one mere wing of the museum. caught west side story on broadway. technically, it was excellent. the plot was too contrived for my liking though.

second day we went to flushing, which was essentially chinatown, but not called chinatown because another place in nyc is already called chinatown. had cheap dim sum, then went down to wall street to walk about. ground zero, statue of liberty in the distance silhouetted by the setting sun. empire state building for the night view.

black friday ! didnt buy anything. just went to hugest macy's in the world to walk around while the others shopped. Went to soho after, which was another street filled with shops. saw my first topshop/man here, there. On the way to soho (or maybe it was considered part of soho, unsure) we were walking down spring street, which was exactly like haji lane, but much much more posh upmarket and huge. Should go back to really shop sometime. Went back to times square, to ripley's.

saturday, walked our asses to the museum of natural history for dinosaurs ! walked because the fucking train services werent running because of maintenance/weekday only service. back to pittsburgh in the evening.

and now its finals week.

._.

so i just had this weird experience that is a little analogous to how your computer reloads whatever data that is maintained in ram when waking from sleep/hibernation/dead battery.

okay so i was waking from sleep as well, but it took awhile longer than usual. and -i think because i was feeling guilty for sleeping so much- but all i could think about was my ece homework (programming in assembly). i kept thinking about how i needed to do logical shift rights, and at which position within the label and branch instruction. i wasnt totally conscious, was kinda nua.

and i kept drifting in and out of sleep. each time being slightly conscious and all i was thinkning of was that freaking bit shifting operation. and i know that i was drifting in and out because each time i would check my clock. and the time just kept changing.

1215.
1310
1330
1415

the thoughts just kept coming back on their own. maybe this is the way you make your subconscious think for you.

why does my roommate get woken up by the sound of my mouseclicks, but not by his own snores ?

oh the mysteries of life
