confide

"For all his attention to my historical education, my father had neglected to tell me this: history's terrible moments were real. I understand now, decades later, that he could never have told me. Only history itself can convince you of such a truth."
-The Historian, Elizabeth Kostova

i just read the review of this book in amazon.com and i'm immediately excited. haha. i'm so easily excited by description of books, might explain why i have so many books lying around in my tiny room. seems that i'll be running out of space for books soon. yes, soon.

there's another reason why i quoted that line there. it's the fact that i've neglected for 3 years. the fact that i used to love history. i still do. really. it's just that i don't think i'd like to pursue history at higher levels. but i still don't mind reading history textbook over and over. in fact, i wanted to take total war module this semester (one of those myriads of history modules offered at nus). but alas, the module wasn't offered. the rest of the history modules that i like didn't really fit into my timetable. so too bad i guess. i ended up taking chinese 1.

i'm waiting for my 4 books to arrive from amazon. the beauty of amazon gift certificate.

anyway, i guess i'm very fortunate to have found someone to confide with. it's been quite sometime since i could trust people with my life stories. i guess i haven't (or couldn't) really thank you enough. i hope one day i won't disappoint (i know i am now).

thanks for listening to my ramblings.

sigh. (this one is for my life, not you.)
