Well well. Look what the cat dragged in. A sleep deprived, yet happy to be alive Charah. Sugeeee.

University has been going great! I've never been so happy in my life. I'm the kind of person who's only happy when busy, and that's what university life has been offering. Between my courses, extra-curricular activities, healthy social life, and working out, I'm happy as a hippo. Are hippos happy? Whatever. Cool as a forgotten cucumber in the fridge drawer. There we go!

I joined the luxurious Corniche Club here in Kuwait and so far I was rudely escorted out of the Premiere lounge and into the basement to shower (which is still pretty foffy so whatever)and I lost the watch my cousins got me for my birthday. I haven't lost any weight (probably because I'm eating so much pasta), but I'm happy that I'm at least putting in the daily 1.5 hrs. It's fun working out, between you and me. I really enjoy jogging on the treadmill or doing circuit training. I actually look forward to that!

I'm looking for a really good camera to call my own. My parents keep losing their cameras and video cameras, so there are no extra ones laying around the house. Even if there were, my parents live on a whole different continent, so that's out of the question. I'm looking into some SLRs, because no camera I know will do justice. I want to capture moments like to exact colour of the moon and the texture of water. The only results my Crack Berry produces is a giant black pixel-y mass. That's freaking annoying!

Even though I'm studying to become an English teacher, I still have no idea what on earth MLA and APA formats are when citing a book. Isn't that Kureiji?

Suuperfun Happi Time!!!!!!!!!!






I have a penchant (pen.chant: a euphemism for obsession) for those little toys that you put in a bucket of water and watch them grow. So you can imagine my absolute mirth upon discovering a TOWEL (dude! awesome!) in that category. Behold.

I'm pretty sure the only reason I like them is because of the element of surprise. All other toys produce nothing and games always end the same way. With Suuperfun Happi Times (that's literally what they're called in Toronto's Chinatown), you never know what you're going to get! It could be a dinosaur, a spoon, and now, a towel! Legendary? I think so.

Today, I was given to submit an article to Bazaar Magazine through a friend, and I have just the article I've been saving for such an occasion. It's entitled What I Learned In Kindergarten and reading always makes me smile and remember how innocent children are, and the awkward phase they go through upon discovering the worm. It's like they're initially Adam Young of Owl City but evolve to Lil Wayne. It's a sad change, but we all make it.

Growing up is both fascinating and Kureiji. :)
