So for the record, this site will be an assortment of the things contributing to my life. Whether it be a personal journal of sorts, place for thoughts and ideas, or collection of other interesting sites, it will first and foremost be an experiment in writing -- for myself to try to communicate and to expand what I'm comfortable talking about. Perhaps things will branch off in the future as I become more confident in writing, but for now, everything will be concentrated here. I expect that eventually I will allow myself to have others know and read the site, but I will probably keep my readership limited for some time. After all, my writing will include personal information as I see fit.
Being away from school has been great, although it's beginning to make me restless. Living at home is relaxing and I have almost nothing to worry about, but it basically means house arrest. I have the freedom to do what I want, but I feel I should stick around since I'm rarely home. Never mind the fact I don't keep in touch with almost any high school friends and there's not much to do here anyway. Yes, this place is a cultural wasteland. It makes me appreciate my lifestyle in Berkeley and the city so much more.
One of my goals for the year is to have the arts play a larger role in my life and really be enriched by them. Through literature, art, music, film, and whatever else, I want to enjoy life more. I've already read a couple books, The Life of Pi and Fahrenheit 451, and today I started The Kite Runner. So far I've seen the films Gran Torino, Revolutionary Road, and Vicky Cristina Barcelona as well. (I need to see the rest of the awards contenders soon.) Even more exciting, I treated my mom and sister to a Yo-Yo Ma concert in Los Angeles just recently too. I hope to post a review and some thoughts on everything I read, see, or hear this year.
Only few more days and I'll be heading back up to school. I've got to get back into getting things done and not lazing around so much. Completing my portfolio will be a start.
