OK, I have been meaning to write a blog for so long I can't even remember, so here it FINALLY goes...
Now that I'm in a completely new environment with different accent, I have had a chance to see things with fresh set of eyes. Have to say, life I led back home was kinda too boring and wasteful to say the least. I worked, got home, lazied out, hung out with friends... and that's about it. Not a bad one, but not productive at all.
Being back at grad school studying with uber smart people, I've realized something - I'm not that smart and I haven't been trying as much as I can to change that. This might sound like I'm being negative and stuff, but a truth is a truth right? And I am glad that I had this epiphany because I do not particularly enjoy wasting my life away.
Perhaps this has something to do with hearing about an acquaintance having an illness that might be terminal. And from what I can see, this person IS doing something and everything with his/her life. The news was kinda like a wake-up call for me, that I actually have it good. All I really need to do is use what I have - time.
So, I'll be better ;)
Hmm. On a closing note - no, I am not a negative person, I call it modesty. And also "knowing thy self" :D.
