Can't Go Back Now (post 200)



Yesterday, when you were young,
Everything you needed done was done for you.
Now you do it on your own
But you find you're all alone,
What can you do?

You and me walk on
Cause you can't go back now.

You know there will be days when you're so tired that you can't take another step,
The night will have no stars and you'll think you've gone as far as you will ever get

But you and me walk on
Cause you can't go back now
And yeah, yeah, go where you want to go
Be what you want to be,
If you ever turn around, you'll see me.

I can't really say why everybody wishes they were somewhere else
But in the end, the only steps that matter are the ones you take all by yourself

And you and me walk on
Yeah you and me walk on
Cause you can't go back now
Walk on, walk on, walk on
You can't go back now

--The Weepies, "Can't Go Back Now"

*sigh*

There's only 5 weeks of school left, and just when things are getting good, they're almost ending.

Last last week, I spent spring break in Hong Kong, and it was one of the best spring breaks I've ever had. More than the trip itself, the business meetings, the food, and the shopping, I would say the best part was hanging out with some really awesome people I would have probably never gotten to know if it wasn't for this trip. I repeat myself a lot when I say that, but I truly truly mean it. I've always been a sentimentalist kind of person, one who thinks building relationships is more important than a lot of other things, so this trip was like a breath of fresh air.

Just like I wished HK didn't end, in the same way I kind of wish freshman year wasn't ending so quickly. 5 weeks left of classes, and about 2 more for finals, and I'll be done with the first year of college.

There were moments this year when I wish that I'd done things differently, but I'm getting to be in a good place.

Not that I'm superstitious, but according to my zodiac horoscope, 2009 is supposed to be a great year. 3 months in, and I'm starting to agree.

Retrospect

I'm supposed to be doing normal distribution probability.

But I was rereading my blogs from way back when in 2005, and oh my, what a change. The language is definitely different, and to think that I used to be so in love with football ALL the time!! I mean, I'm a fan still, but I used to be more into it than I am now - if that's even possible to ponder.

P(z > 0.5) = 0.1915

Some of my recent posts have been less chipper, less hyper, more serious, more thoughtful. I suppose I've always been like this - just that it grew, expanded, pushed that young, hyper, chipper part of me away.

7 Weeks of school left - and freshman year will be over. This year's gone by so fast! And while I'm looking forward to time passing, I'm also sad to see it slip through my hands.

And because I used to post song lyrics to fit my mood:::: I'm waiting for that day -Today

Today - Joshua Radin

Shoelaces untied
you can dry your eyes
perfect shadows alive
behind us
this is the day i make you mine
way your hair lies
sometimes unrecognized
all the way from these today
on a train
nothing to say if theres still time
but you are the one
i've been wating for today
and here comes the sun that's been baiting on today
lately i've lost my tongue
today you found the sun
oh no not long has grown
well i thank god u came along
you are the one i've been waitng for today
and here comes the sun that's been baiting on today
you looked right through me when there was no one else
I sat beside you and became myself
today today
**Guitar Solo**
you are the one i've been waiting for today
and here comes the sun thats been baiting on today
