So I've been trying really hard searching for essay ideas. I didn't think I'd have to write essays ever again- but this time it's not a "have to", it's a "want to". There's this essay competition which I'm apparently eligible to enter, and the prize is very tempting. Of course I'm fantasizing about winning first place etc, but reality is I might not even get my essay finished. Even if I do, I probably won't win, because I always think my work is better than what it is- people give me too many praises and I'm a little full of myself.
I feel like I've done a lot lately- nothing truly productive, of course. I mean, I read and read and read for days, but it's not like I'm reading my textbooks. The Reason I Jump is a pretty cool book though, if you get a chance to read it. It's written by this Japanese kid with autism, trying to explain why autistic kids do the things they do. I thought it was fascinating, and I suspect the original work would be better- if I learn a bit more Japanese, I'd definitely try the original.
My friend also got my hooked onto this game on iPad called Cytus. It's basically osu! except... with better game play? They're pretty similar, really- but I think Cytus has better songs. They get stuck in my head so often- and I don't even mind because it's so beautiful.
So here's some Asian kid playing my current favorite song. My score is nowhere near his because that map is goddamn impossible, and I guess I'm just not Asian enough to do what he does. Still, listen to the music. The music is beautiful. I only paid 2 dollars for the app- but it feels like I paid 2000 to get into some fancy concert.
Anyway, bed time for now. Gotta work tomorrow. Night.
