"My Life is a Lie!"

I found out that one of my friend's mom has been deceiving my friend about the properties of oranges just to make her eat them. I had no idea that oranges actually don't improve your immune system, and I got confused after a while of listening to my science student friend explain vitamin C and oranges to us. Me being a psychology student and all...

Then my friend went and asked her mom if she knew the truth, and she admitted she knew the unfortunate truth about oranges. My friend was so devastated she started to yell "I don't know anything anymore! Who can I trust in this world of lies!" We all laughed at her when she did that (not being mean), and I couldn't help but think how cute her reaction was.

It seems like I've been away from home for so long, when it's only been two months since I returned to college from the holidays. And to think that I've been away from home for almost half a year not including the short two weeks back! There were a lot of moments when I felt homesick, especially when I'm walking alone in the snow. The snow really does things to people, it's so unexplainable.

Yesterday, a bunch of friends and I went out to watch a late move; "The Other Boleyn Girl". The most memorable part of that movie was the part when the whole cinema went "UGH!" at one part of the movie. But I don't want to spoil anyone who comes across this =)

On our way back, we had to cross a huge park, and it was completely covered with snow. It would probably would have been scary if I weren't with friends. But I couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness when I look at the huge layers of snow at night. Is this what they call Seasonal Affective Disorder? (haha, -slightly happy I remembered psychology terms-)

See??? Doesn't this look depressing?

But of course, me being the person that I am, I went back to my dorm and gave myself a nice serving of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (天元突破グレンラガン) (I will not be defeated by the weather!) I think Gurren Lagann is the type of anime that will always bring people to a good spirit (or maybe a fighting spirit, who knows?) since it's got the idea that if you work hard enough and believe in yourself, you will always be able to do whatever you wish. I'm probably really gullible to these things, but I really feel a sense of hope when I watch this series, and that's one of the reasons why this is one of my favorite shows right now.
