Autobiography.
Hello, my name's Susan and I was born on the fifteenth of May and am currently eighteen years of age :) I graduated from Bethlehem College Ashfield in 2007 and am currently studying a Bachelor degree of Animal and Veterinary Bioscience at the University of Sydney. I'm Korean and often get mistaken to be Chinese like every other Asian person does. I've been working at Vinnies located in Dulwich Hill for almost a year now (Y) I've been adoring my beautiful boyfriend since May 15, 2008. Loooooooove him! 'cause he makes me happy :)

MIRACLES HAPPEN - 7:21 pm.
I have no idea why, and it's not really the first time, but I felt extremely ugly today (yeah, you might say "you are" but i really felt really low in self-esteem). Maybe the whole body image thing is getting to me. In high school, all my girls used to tell me to stop worrying about my image, saying that I looked fine. Maybe it's the transition into uni that has really affected my thoughts. Friends (obviously jokingly; I hope) keep reminding me of how 'imperfect' I am and how ugly I am and that's fine but isn't once or twice enough? I try to laugh it off but do they really have the right to say that when they're far from perfect as well? Sure, they may be a whole lot closer to 'perfection' than I am but give me a break. I'm so sick of trying to put up with things. Is selecting aesthetically pleasing things always the best option?
Today, I had work again from 10am to 3pm. I don't know why but I just randomly hoped that someone would jump through the door and give me a surprise visit but no-one came to visit and I don't blame anyone. I just really hoped someone would be there for me. I feel really uneasy nowadays which reminds me about high school when I used to always get upset about the smallest things. I'm just really glad I had people around me to put up with my antics and emotional outbursts which I would always blame on PMS. I really miss that environment where everyone cared for each other. I miss the smiles; uni just seems like a place for hardcore studying and nothing related to enjoying life. Maybe it's just my over-exaggeration because I miss high school so much but right now, it feels like hell. Maybe tomorrow will be better; or next week. Possibly next month or even next year? That's the only thing that seems to keep me going. I'm sick of the same old routine; wake up at 7:30 am, shower, rush to get to the station by 8:20 and catch the train; possibly falling asleep and hoping I won't miss my stop. Then walking to uni everyday is a killer; being afraid that my heels will get caught in the little holes or cracks on the floor of the bridge I have to cross. Why not wear heels, right? Wearing flats, thongs or chucks makes me feel like a man and I really hate it.
I'm hoping to start studying (for real) from tomorrow onwards but I always say that so I'll see how I go.
