A Can't-be-more-random Post

Drip. Drip. Drip.
Outside in the kitchenette the tap water is dripping into the filter. I like it full to the max of the filter. Felt it stupid to just filter 50 percent of the filter and it's always not enough and you'll have to wait for another round. How dumb.

Sneeze. Sneeze.
Today's a sneezing day. I don't know why, but unlike any other days, I feel especially dehydrated. So I drink water. Keeping drinking, hoping I can quench the thirst. But my nose, keeps 'leaking'. It's like I caught a cold or something. The water I drank just won't stay in my body. Here I drink and then it comes out in the form of mucus.

Yesterday in the lecture hall, a room full of freshmen, waiting to be briefed by the associate dean of college of science. The lady sitting next to me was shaking her legs; the guy two seats away from me was drumming his fingers on the small platform/table; and both the vibration reached me like some synchronized tapdance that annoyed me I could feel my anger mounting. So instead of reading my book, I'm trying to stir away the thought that those tappings and shakings irritated me - and it took a gigantic effort to do so, no kidding.

I could sit and stare into any one fixed point of space forever and my mind would never stop thinking imagining plotting stories or movies or tales of its own, not even for a millisecond. Free time is a mind's playground, or more specifically, my mind's. It's amazing how our mind works. And so when people ask, so what do you do if you're not taking classes? Well. Apart from the daily mundane chores that have to be done, and working, I read, and I let my mind roam freely.
Last night to Sahara Desert, today to Rome, tomorrow to Iceland.

I love holidays. Don't you all? =P Even if I don't get to go to places physically, I still travel everywhere. I'm a traveler. And a contented one too.
