New beginnings. Again.

So it's 1:27am on the day that I'm about to move into my school apartment to go into RA training. Once again, it's another beginning.
Hi hopes.
Meet some new awesome people I must.
Excited to just experience the coming school year full of I dunno what the hell what.

Not sure what to write, actually. Maybe I should write about how I've just been in a very existential mode these past few days. There are these weirdly balanced thoughts in my head in relation to this thing we call life. It's so vastly mysterious and beyond what any individual can understand. The only thing to understand about it is that it's un-understandable. But there's also such beauty in that. We aren't meant to understand.

How many of my Oxford friends read what I write on here? Maybe 10 maximum? Actually, probably ten people maximum read my blog posts in general. I guess that's somewhat of a comfort yet humbling realization.
I must say, what I write here is quite different from the image I have in front of Oxford people. To Oxford people, I'm mostly a somewhat outgoing film dude. How did this image come to be? I'm also a thoughtful dude - at least I like to think so. But that side is harder to bring out. Is it only that it comes out once I'm closer to somebody? So does that mean I'm actually not that close to anybody in college? Or does it just mean the dynamic of my friendships here are still felt as unusual to me compared to high school? Or perhaps is it simply because my name is Ien Chi?
