Count down
But before that, finals are only 3 weeks away. I feel rather unprepared for the upcoming exams. Hopefully I can pull off what I did last semester and get some good grades. I just wanna get it over and done with and enjoy summer and all the warm weather my tropical island body have been lacking! I dunno how I can even stand the crummy weather here in AA. I guess it does make me appreciate the good weather.

Y'know... I've come to the conclusion that many of us inherently 1) think to much about the past and 2) worry too much about the future. I guess it's rational/natural/normal. The past is something we've experienced, and really all we have to reflect back on. We think about all the good times and try to cherish it, and to relive it. Our mind wonder off and think about all the shitty times and a surge of emotion hits.
The future represents a certain amount of uncertainty. For me, expectations (external and from myself) is a source of pressure that in someways keeps me going and what I'm doing. I fear not reaching those expectations. I keep telling myself that failure is something we all must go through and that we shouldn't be afraid to fail. [Actually... Dad told me that! Dad: i still remember the letter after graduation :) thanks!] The feeling of defeat is not a nice feeling, but sorta like the cold weather in AA, it does make me appreciate the good times I've had.
having said all that... why should we think about the past too much and worry about the future too often when the only thing you can influence/act on is the present.
yeah... dunno what i'm gettin at... so i'm just gonna end this post with some random picture from my collection :)
enjoy the weekend!
