Clarity in Confusion

It's mid-week already?!? Time really does fly by if you aren't paying attention to it. Not enough time to write right now but last night in class, I think I found my thesis paper idea! I'm starting to get really freaked out about Advanced Seminar and at the same time glad that it's coming up next semester. I better get going but i'll revisit in a few hours.

9:48am...What a pick me up workout this morning! I feel like I have a second wind. I even started pushing myself to run. I found that even though some days I'm up and other days I'm down but the underlying sentiment is that there is some form of optimism in my head (even if I can't feel it sometimes). Darren was talking about how much he loves his wife and one of the women said that she's giving up in the dating game. I found myself (can you believe it) telling her never to give up and that every pot has a lid! Darren said he's glad he's not in the game anymore. I can't hate on that.

Anyway, I came back to a great email from Sungrim. She says her husband is working on stage three (final level) of the bar exam. It's a very challenging process to become a lawyer in Korea and he has been working very hard. He takes the exam in February. I know he will do well. She adds she can't wait to see me. I can't wait to see her too. It's been so many years since we last saw one another in person. Sometimes I am grateful for technology in the sense that we can communicate with anyone in the world at the touch of a button. However, sometimes I view the advancement as a negative too. We spend so much time tied to computers, "crack"berrys, email, and cell phones that noone sees anybody anymore. I need that human interaction. It's as basic for me as breathing. You can't simulate a hug in email. Well..I better get cracking on schoolwork before I get into a entire rant about getting back to the basics. I have a feeling it's going to be a good rest of the week for me.
