Where should I start? Maybe from this picture:
This is where I had my first lecture of 2015 after mistakenly booked a flight one month after uni commence but fortunately I was able to change it back to the second week of classes.
Or this:
A swarm of bees welcome me back with their nest.
My life is full of classes and uni work, like these:
Photographic film (what? lol), books, notes, computer, and fossils.
But hey I don't just study. Here's what you will find around my uni UQ:
Bikes, lots of bikes at places they should be and shouldn't be, with or without flowers. Ducks. Cars with hilarious quote. Rockie science stuff. Asian people taking photos. And a freaking track and field that doesn't allow normal people to run on it.
School is pretty boring for some I know. Well here's what Brisbane, the capital of Queensland looks like:
Just stunning places. It is either dark or blue becuase that's probably my favorite colors.
Omg. I just realize how beautiful Brisbane is.
Maybe that's why I don't socialize anymore. I can just indulge myself in this beautiful mess wherever I go, listen to music and let go of my imagination.
And that gives me the environment to philosophize. I've already given up on Christianity back in October 2014, but it wasn't until mid 2015 did I decide to study philosophy. And from that very moment, I fell in love with it... or more like finding the missing part of me.
July 27 2015 is the date I started the journey in philosophy, and this blog is a product of it. Along with blogging, I begin to read a lot of philosophy books:
Besides philosophy, I don't care much about many other things. But maybe I should say philosophy, or my philosophical perspective already concerns lots of things, including friendship, relationship, and the terrorism in Paris and around the world. Recently, I came across 4 ambulances in the busiest Brisbane city street. It would be senseless for anyone to not relate this with some kind of events and casualty. Although some suggest it was an emergency childbirth, I couldn't stop wondering if there are any ISIS terrorists in Brisbane. But that was all speculation.
So in 2015 I didn't do many different things, didn't go to many new places, make only a few friends or maybe lost more, but I learn a lot from doing philosophy, found the place and values where I stand, and I'm much happier than 2014 as I no longer want to kill myself. However, I'm still suffering from anxiety, a worry that I will lose all of these after I graduate. I still don't know where to go after my last year in uni. The thought alone is painful enough to strip away all my energy. I'm only doing the best I can at the present moment. And that's all I can do. In a word, 2015 is a meaningful year; it is probably one of the most important year of my life.
That sums up the past. This holidays are actually going to be quite colorful and exciting. I'm going to Osaka, Japan! To visit my bestest friend Andy, and we will be sharing bed together for weeks, lol just kidding. To apply for Japan visiting visa, I will be staying in Brisbane until Christmas. All these time before Japan will be used to plan for Japan, read books, and work on philosophy. Maybe after I get back home, I will be with family and friends and feel entirely different.
Hope you all had a great year, and going to have an even greater year in 2016.
