New cell phone number: 1-(217)-419-1032
Yes, I finished my term paper, and... that's really it. Achievement is practically zero. The culprit is, of course, Rome: Total War. Yes it's the holidays, everyone wants to relax, but if you just do what others do, you won't be better than others either.
Finally, after seeing that even monks in China and missionaries in the US have cell phones, I finally decided to get one. It's no longer a luxury, it's a bloody necessity. But it's also good that I got it quite late into my early years, so as to remind myself that even if you lose many things that you take as given, it's still not the end of the world yet.

My Thanksgiving break starts now, great. Or maybe not so great.
For some awful reason, my awful professor decided two weeks ago to extend the deadline of our paper to Tuesday, 9:00am in his e-mail. Yes you heard me right - holiday work for the first three days of my break. And then after that, I have two math projects to do too. Everyone seems to be enjoying their Thanksgiving skiing, beaching, seeing friends... why can't I have the joys of being a teenager of a first world country when I'm born and raised in one? Not complaining but, just strange.
My roommate, on the other hand, is also having bad luck, but in minesweeper:

Finally got my appartment for next year sorted. Once again, I have proven that I have little control over how I get things done, and that fate has very strange ways to help me out when she feels like it.
A tooth of mine had a corner chipped off sometime last night. Don't know the cause, but it's kind of scary since I'm only nineteen! Am I going to lose all my teeth before sixty? Yikes!
I've never seen such streaks of bad luck and evil humour in Mahjong before. Message me if you want details.
Somehow, Americans don't really think Canadians are their neighbours when it comes to hiring. That is unfortunate, so I'll see what I can do. I don't want to have to go around finding a rare job after I graduate. That will be awkward. So I really hope to do well in the pre-career fair of sorts this Thursday.
The reason why I don't write a personal diary is because I don't want to think or do anything that I won't feel comfortable about letting others know.

Why do I always walk into all sorts of shit in my life?
No, better - why does shit always have to walk in my life?
I'm not good at talking, don't wish to do a lot of it in the near future. Period.
By the way, did I just say yesterday that I can make my moral decisions? Well, let me add that I don't like people making moral judgments about me either, because when it comes to morality, it doesn't take long before you realize that a lot of people don't know what they're talking about.
I made a mistake, but not a moral mistake. Although I certainly hope that it is not the case, if I'm still judged as a morally confused person, and hence an unworthy acquaintance, then I'll respect that judgment. But I really do hope that it's not the case, or if it is, at least tell me why, so I'll learn from it.

I know how to make my own moral decisions.
If you keep pushing me around, well, you are making a huge mistake.

One of the most difficult things in life is to talk to your high school friends. So much you could say, nothing that you really need to say, since we know each other inside out already. It's even more difficult when *someone* is not prepared to hold any sort of serious conversation either.
