Ten Days and A Year Ago...

Holla, greetings from the other side of the lonely room. Hell yeah, I am surprised that I could still make it this far. So, what's up with the title? Well, it was the time when the local media called my thesis partner and asked for an interview. After those, a bunch of the other local medias are coming to us like crazy. Oh well, neither I'm saying this is bad or something nor like it so much that I want to get on the screen forever. It all ends when each of us got a job.

Talking about job and such, which would you prefer? A slow-paced job with more thinking rather than doing such as planning and learning something new everyday (because you have nothing good to do anymore) or,,, a job where your skills and energy are squeezed out but in the office only (with higher wage of course)? Honestly, I thought the first one was better. But now I realized that it is not that good. Of course, the freedom to think and do whatever I like is a great blessing. But being in that place for too long makes you become a frog in a shell. Why?? As for me, such a lax place is not a place for people like me. It is a place for elders. I am still young and full of ideas. I'm not supposed to be there. I need challenges and stimuli to do better and better. Unless you have it right inside your soul from the start.

Ten days and a year ago was a great time. Not that very great, but better than now. Really. Relationship-wise and anything. I think my mom is right. Nobody would like to spend their time being around someone childish and clingy. As a matter of fact, this is my karma too I guess. And as a man I have to man-up and have a great vision of future, clear plans and milestones, own a house, and enough savings to sustain an emergency cases.

What about my graduate plans? Well, it is hard to find a professor who has the same research interest (many in general, but not in the specific area I'm interested in) and a scholarship. Anyone knows a professor who has an interest with the mind of locked-in syndrome patient?
