this is the first time i wrote 4 introductions.
for my southeast asian culture and literature module assignment, i wrote a grand total of 4 introductions. this is the first time i struggled so badly with an essay assignment. but i'm not going to complain; at least i didn't write 5.

okay, as if it is of any consolation.

because of my apparent problem in my academic life, i could not put my "pianist fingers" (Ewart, Gavin; Office Friendships, 1955) to typing any blog entries. any other form of writing weighed me down greatly because i figured that whatever writing i do must have something to do with southeast asian/ female oppression/ literary creations. i didn't know writing could give me heart burn. i love writing, but it's the darnest bane in my life right now.
