i thank You God for most this amazing

day; for the leaping greenly spirits of trees

and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything

which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,

and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth

day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay

great happy illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing

breathing any - lifted from the no

of all nothing - human merely being

doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and

now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

e.e. cummings

life is far too much living for any retrospection.

possibly, probably spelling the end of this blog [or at least explaining its pathetic state].

except that there is this need to say things, even if they go unheard and unread.

it is the photographer's curse: to be torn between either recording moments to make each eternal or giving yourself up to the unceasing flow, letting each moment wash over you and pass quietly on beyond reach.

a camera is an instrument that teaches you to see without a camera - dorothea lange

and i see. but it is a skill to unlearn; once sharpened, now it must be tempered with disuse. because right now, i dont see another way to live.

and this is the beginning of a beginning :] /13:41

so i'm being an ungrateful little snob [but let me clarify, i am SO uber grateful for what i have been offered] but as my own form of retaliation towards the annoying and traumatic weekend that i [and others] have been caught in recently, i have developed some ideas about just how small and insignificant we all are in this.

and so i present

juliet's mildly sourgrapic, hopefully not offensive

and actually funny/true/enlightening theories

on local tertiary institution politics

conspiracy theory #1

a certain tertiary institution [ahemguesswhich] sells/donates/throws off to another such institution a batch of its prospective students - perhaps not the the cherry-and-cream-of-the-crop kinda students, but the quite-cream kind - since competition in an area that has been clearly monopolistic for so long might need a little nudge or two.

so to my darlings in the same boat as me - i think that's us. quite cream, but sold.

it sounds totally sourgrapes, i know, but that aside, just consider it for a moment please.

i know, it makes total sense right.

conspiracy theory #2
there are quotas for the whos and from-wheres. there have to be, and actually i think it makes sense because it'd be just unhealthy for a place to be overrun by too many of the same sort.

conspiracy theory #3
it's a freaking conspiracy when it comes to scholarships&places&appealing etc. everything is perfectly timed so that poor little students us are caught between what seem to be the forces of fate, but are actually, well, other forces.

timing is everything.

that said, i'm actually quite excited to start school. :] :] :]
the way i see it, i have everything i could possibly want [and yes it probably has been engineered to look like this to me in two offices somewhere, one frm each school] but only so much of it is the school; the rest is supposed to be what i make of it. and given so much to make with, i actually really totally believe i can!

awesome, my word of the day for the past two days now.

so to all my darlings out there if you're reading, pls cheer up and CALL ME so we can angst/gripe/whine about REJECTION and ANGER and INJUSTICE and all sorts of important things.
