What I have been doing thus far–the beginning of a workoholic summer… May 9, 2009

This summer is a strange one. I have never been so different. Probably because of broken friendships which made me redefine my purpose of life.
But pretty much this summer’s been packed with a lot of thinking, not too much other activities otherwise.
List of significant things I’ve done thus far:
- Found many books related to my major and read quite a lot of psychology and self-help books, magazines and articles including: Sciam Mind, Popular Photography, Psychology Today, Japanese fashion magazines (e.g. Kera, Nono, Kera Maniax), and other things. I don’t exactly see a need to keep track of all the books I’ve read, because unless I will use them in the future for essays, I won’t be needing those again.
- I started playing application games on Facebook and I’m addicted! Vampire Wars is really addicting because it has a time limit and while I wait, I actually get to do other things. I know gaining points or numbers are merely a delusional way of killing time, but I still find it somewhat interesting because there’s a lot of players in this game, because it’s a social game that doesn’t require a lot of communication. It’s a fairly ironic thing. Restaurant City and Pet Society are the two other Facebook games which are almost exactly the kinds of games that you expect to see on Nintendo DS series but for free.
- Listening to indie music and discovered new bands including: Glasvegas, Late Night Alumni and The New Cities.
- Changed my bad sleeping habit…at least for now. =D
