絕望 Despair

睜開眼睛 我看不見光明
閉上眼睛 我看不見黑暗
此時此刻
內心裡 點點滴滴的慌張
就快滲透出來
把我逼得喘不過氣

這不是充滿希望的季節嗎
可是當我看見一雙猙獰的眼睛盯著我看
我還是那麼的恐懼 那麼的不安
為什麼 這個時候
連費盡心血都覺得徒勞無功

天空很藍 那又怎麼樣
滿腔熱血 早已乾枯褪色
如果往後退一步 低下頭
就能輕易發現 所謂的夢想
已經被踐踏得毫無價值 在草地上
像個皮球被人踢向無邊無際的遠方

最後的最後 原來
沒有任何東西是想像中的那麼重要
我只好抱著我顫抖著的靈魂
靜靜地在一旁看著人們死去
最終輪到自己

I open my eyes but I don't see light
I close my eyes but I don't see darkness
Right at this moment
The anxiety in the deepest part of my heart moving around
Trying to escape from my body
And to strangle me effortlessly

I wonder if the season of hope has arrived
But when I see a pair of hideous eyes staring at me
I am still terrified and disturbed
Why is it that right now
Anymore effort feels just like a desperate attempt towards the inevitable futility

The blue sky doesn't mean anything
The ardour and passion have died out and faded
If I take a step back and look down
I can see all those aspirations
Like they have been flushed down in the toilet
Lying on the field
And kicked away to somewhere far away like a ball

At the very last page of the story
I realise nothing really matters that much
So I have to hold my shivering soul tight
And watch people die one by one silently
And eventually my turn

Hello, 2015!

I know I have said this far too many times, but I really have to say it again:
I can't believe how quickly time has passed.

I mean, it's already nearly the end of January 2015. This term will finish in a little less than two months.
After that it's a month of mysteriously hasty Easter break, then a couple of exams and then..
Suddenly we will be done for the year!
I am saying this from my experience from last year, it was all over in almost a flash.

Well, to sum up this few months, except for the busy life that I have to deal with, I have been quite fine.
My frontrunner placement at the Communications office has been great, learned so many things and gained a lot of experiences. Can't believe I am half way through my placement, feels like I just started last week.

Also I went to Spain and Germany over the Christmas break, visited Marta, Miquel in Spain and Sasha in Germany. If not for the sick in the last few days it would have been perfect. Eventually I went to 15 cities in 16 days, and at any point I didn't rush for even a bit. However I suppose I might not have to visit Spain for the rest of this decade. :) Now I can confirm that Barcelona and Berlin are contenders for my favourite European city, with the latter possibly squeezing down the other when I revisit (and maybe stay for a month) in the Summer.

So to sum out how busy I am, I currently have five responsibilities - Communications frontrunner at the Department of Communications and External Relations, president (and founder) of Multilingual Society, Student Ambassador at the Department of Language and Linguistics, Course Rep at the SU and all these while doing a degree in which I study three languages.

Honestly, as this year will be over very quickly, I will have one more year at uni and I will probably be left to my own devices. Can't say I am not scared - I really want to do my best to prepare for the future.

But who knows, Dios sabe lo que hace.
Quoi qu'il arrive, j'espère que l'avenir ne me déçoit pas. 

Guten Rutsch!
