Wishlist: I wish that I will always remember to be grateful for everything and not be greedy to ask for more.

I am currently a student pursing a degree in music performance (piano) in the University of Western Ontario, though I probably spend more time online than studying/practicing. I am a hermit that fails to befriend people even after being thrust into residence life of a university with the title of "party school". My obsessive behaviour towards things I like doesn't really help me get a life either. 99% of my freetime is spent in front of my precioussss computer, with the other 1% spent on live-sustaining essentials. (ratio not to scale)
