I was listening to some random music on Spotify when I was super taken aback… it sounded so absurdly familiar. Then, I realized it was the song of one of the CD’s that’d play on repeat in our 2003 Honda Odyssey when I was super young. The speakers on that car have now broken, so we haven’t listened to CD’s with it in 5+ years. Nearly shed a tear when I heard it again.
This was the album we had on CD, it’s by some obscure German band with abstract lyrics in a language I can’t even identify. My most memorable song is probably this. It’s kind of amazing how “profound” and unifying music is; it doesn’t particularly make any evolutionary sense but still DAMN. Wow. What a throwback…
I also just realized I forgot to write about my breathing test a few days ago. It’s whatever honestly. I have 88% of the average 1s exhalation volume for a 20yo of Chinese descent. I might be screwed when I’m old (shortness of breath going up stairs or whatever), but I’m fitter than ever for now with running; I’ll keep it up for the sake of my own longevity. But funny to know I’ve grown 1cm since I last measured a while back; I’m now 178.8cm, 149lbs.
I called my immigration lawyer for like, 3 hours. He’s cool, I hope that we’re getting closer. And I can stop worrying about this shit.
