i actually sat down and studied for about 4 hours straight today. wowsers. haven't done that in awhile. but it was actually more like transferring over my notes from one notebook to another. but i studied it while transferring it over, so i guess that would still count. :p

i skimmed through this book (forgot what it was called, sorry~~) while at borders today. it was a collection of stories written by mostly writers, it seems like. it was talking about the twenties' lifestage and the "quarterlife crisis." it was actually very interesting. i would highly recommend it. although i haven't finished it myself yet, nor did i read it thoroughly. but from what i read, it made me think.

one comment that stood out was that the editor of the book thinks that people who go through and survive (and come out successfully) the quarterlife crisis won't go through a midlife crisis. hmm... interesting. i can see that. what she was saying was that because people who grow through the quarterlife crisis and come out successfully and have figured themselves out somewhat and are more comfortable and at peace, when their midlife comes around, they're more prepared and able to deal with it. what do you think?

another thing that i have to think about more is that a lot of the people in that book wrote about their experiences of jumping around from city to city, having some kind of "syndrome" which i forgot what they labeled. (i'll have to go back and look that one up). but i seriously have that syndrome. i seriously don't mind going to a new city, starting over, meeting new people and making new friends... but i know that's hard. especially making friendships after college/grad school. but still, i'm totally willing to do it. to have fun, experience new things, to travel... i really really want to do it. and i'm slowly preparing for it... but i do wonder though, why do i have this desire? i don't think it's a problem with having a lack of goals or anything like that, given that most people who do move around, do so because they go from job to job, or some other reason. hmm... i wonder what my real motives are? is there something else deep in my head that i'm suppressing? are the reasons that i'm telling myself just lies?! haha... what is this? i think i'm going nuts. =p all i know is, i better hurry up and move before i change my mind!

i had my first birthday greeting today. thanks, dude! =p
