3&705.

This goodbye was a little different from all the rest. It was a sort of like watching a tv show's series finale, but with a cliffhanger at the end. When you know something amazing has ended, but that the story continues somehow. When, at the end of the episode, they roll those slow motion flashback scenes of the great memories; all the while playing a few happy songs that remind you of the good times and a final cheesy (yet effective) sad song to remind you its over. These scenes show how the characters have grown as individuals and how their relationships have developed over the years. They are the moments that won't ever be forgotten. We've had great times, but they're not our last; don't these shows have reunions sometime or another?! (Funny thing is we actually wanted to tape a real world/road rules rip off too, complete with heated arguments and tearful calls to home)










Cheers 3/705, and congratulations. I'm proud of you all.




There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepiatone loving
Love is the answer,
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together

[Chorus:]
MMM it's always better when we're together
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
For tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll Sit beneath the mango tree now

It's always better when we're together
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

MMmmmm MMMmmmm Mmmmmm
I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no, combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together.

Pause

It's strange how quickly tides can turn; how emotions can change with even the subtlest of triggers. When, at that instant, you're relieved of all the doubts and insecurities you once had about the difficult choices you've made. Here's to living without regrets, to never looking back.

cheers.

Thesis, Senior Week

I'm knee deep in technical papers and experimental data right now, hoping that somehow I'll manage to finish my thesis on time. For those that are curious, I'm researching magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications and methods to improve their biocompatibility. It's been a long road. My peers and I enrolled in thesis expecting, from the claims of previous seniors, that it was an easy A. Unfortunately for us, MS&E decided to "restructure" the class. But I don't regret enrolling, because I know it's meant to give us research experience and help us with technical writing/comprehesion and public speaking. I only regret that I didn't spend more time throughout the semester planning and gathering more data. I feel it's because I've lost the motivation to impress people with the work I do. Here I'm just another engineering student trying to get by.

I'm looking forward to Senior Week. Cornell likes to emphasize strong bonds within classes, and I guess it's worked somewhat. Looking forward to chill one last time with those I see everyday and those I never see anymore.

Saturday: Darien Lake Six Flags
Tuesday: Twilight Cruise
Wednesday: Twilight Cruise again?
Thursday: Tstone

Lets have some fun.

Waiting For...

We all have to put up with the constant challenges life throws at us. These hurdles are meant to help us, train us for those times in the near future when we're backed into a corner with no other option but to remember the willpower, dilligence and confidence it took to get through it all.

but when is enough enough?

I'm tired. Tired of the neverending disappointments. Tired of all the let-downs. But most of all I'm tired of having to pick myself up everytime; to put on that smile and retain a sense of humor and dignity each day is exhausting. I'm tired of having to tell myself that tomorrow is another day with fresh opportunities and replenished hope, when all it brings is more disappointment in myself and others. I'm tired of optomism, because I've tried it and it's getting old. I used to set high standards for myself, to expect the most of my efforts, and for what? All that's come of it are looks of pity and those sympathetic words people say but never really mean. The energy and vitality i used to use towards my responsibilities is gone and I'm left trudging through routine and repetion, with no idea where I'm going or what i'm working toward.

Right now, there's no where to look but up...

New/Old Wednesdays

I haven't been keeping up with New/Old Wednesdays for awhile, but it doesn't mean i haven't been collecting new music. Maroon 5 is back after 5 years with a new album, It Won't Be Soon Before Long, they're follow up to the very popular debut album Songs About Jane. Sounds like they followed the old recipe for success: catchy melodies and lyrics about making/breaking up. The old is their hit "This Love," and the new are tracks titled "Makes Me Wonder" and "Back At Your Door" off their new cd. Check it out:
