A Long Time Coming
October 17, 2006Train of Thought #?
October 11, 2006I’m sitting here with an open stats text, and a cup of Chinese tea. The only thing that comes to mind right now is the fact that I haven’t blogged in the longest time. It’s funny, because I used to have so much to write about, jumping from one nutty topic to another. I’ve definitely changed from my high school days where my adventures consisted of… looking at the Internet. In only 1 and a half years, it seems like I’ve remade myself into something I think I should become. BK was right, extracurriculars ARE important. Just not in the way she pursued them.
Competition and challenge seem to be bringing out the better of me so far. This one term so far has seen more personal growth than my previous 18 years combined. And yet at the same time, I’m still the lazy slacking bum I’ve been for ages. I haven’t been satisfied with my output for quite a while now. Measuring up to perfect standards is by definition, impossible, but I keep telling myself that it’s a snap as long as I put my best foot forward. The trick is taking that step. Like my open stats textbook for instance, I’m having trouble reading that first line. It’s a huge struggle.
Lest you think I’m being incredibly self-absorbed here by writing only about me me me, I assure you that this is probably the only personal blog post I’ve written, ever. Every blog post up to this point has been targeted towards a specific audience. This single blog post is my own meandering thoughts, late at night, trying to make sense of chaos. What I want to say here is that I seem to have lost my touch in rambling coherently. I guess that shatters the image I’ve been projecting from some earlier posts, eh? Like so many before me, I can only say that perhaps one day I’ll regain the patience and the wit to bang out quality reading material, up to par with the standards I’ve set for myself and the hopefully high ones others have set for me.
Adios. Real life beckons.
