finally the exams are done! writing close to 30 pages worth of papers in 3 days is enough to strain my hand. *laughs* that's a lie. it was already worn out due to guitar for the past few weeks. to put it in history exam terms, the terms just exacerbated it.
but songwriting is a... what do we call it? unprecedented process. it happens anytime and anywhere, at least for me. as long as words or a tune pops into my head, i end up sitting down and just sketching them out. and as for the chords, it's a case of testing chords. *laughs* eh, it's really not a nice way or correct way to write songs. no tempo and whatnot.
as much as the requirement for terms was to mug (which i never succeed at... i can't mug. it's not in my nature to sit down and just stare at a book for hours. i need music. i need distracting things like a ring, a pen, the internet, a CD, a book or just a pretty sky). i ended up songwriting. and now, by the end of terms mugging period, i have 4 songs completed. and neither of them are titled. i already named a song i wrote a few months back Unfinished. i can't name my songs Unnamed 1, Unnamed 2 etc., can i? but then it'll be like having my own jianizimu collection *laughs* gomen ne naitomea-san! jianizimu is completely yours!
and i'm actually pretty happy i finally got down to reading a proper book. my choice concurrently: Pride and Prejudice, and Darcy's Story. it took me until chapter 20 of PP to actually detect the humour in the book :/ BUT now i've detected it, i enjoy the book more.

if i tell myself i didn't like you, it'll be a complete lie.but because of who you are and who i am..i don't have a choice but to wait.
