http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaLM1-gxjqAI seem to have the worst timing when it comes to updating my blog. Right when midterms are around the corner, with much reading to do, and some to ponder about. Hmm. So I am on the third floor of the Gelman library in one of the stacks. My Chinese text book open in front of me, my Geography blackboard page tabbed underneath with some reading on pdf file, and my History textbooks shoved in the corner. I am to do most of those tonight...I even made a list in my planner--all color-coordinated and stuff. Sleep doesn't come.
My laptop is the ultimate distraction. The subject of tonight's distraction was looking up random songs online. Oddly enough, I think tv shows have the best variety. Somehow I found a username that had all the background music of Gossip Girl (yes). I found good songs such as "Beautiful World" by Carolina Liar, "The Ice is Getting Thinner" by Death Cab for a Cutie, "Do You Wanna" by The Kooks, etc. But my favorite pick of the night is/was "Come Home" by One Republic. It has a Beatles-ish tune to it; it's also soothing and mellow. And that has been my mood in the library ever since.
As I was youtubing it, I came across a cover made by a girl named Sarah Gonzalez. I know there possibly (probably) are better covers out there but I really like this one. I think she did as much of a good job as One Republic in the lady's version. Props to her. I wish I can sing as sweetly.
My life has been weird so far. I don't know where it's taking me.
But in the immediate future, New York City and/or Chi-town.
