I totally agree with what korkor said. We spend so much of our time waiting.... waiting for things that should happen, might happen.. and even things that we know probably will not happen. We wait ridiculously long for something that lasts 5 minutes in the end, yet we never learn our lesson. I wait for 2 hours for him to come online, only to be told that he's tired and wants to sleep. 2 hours for 5 minutes. And yet I know I will continue waiting each day.
Its the end of the week again... Friday and then Friday again and then Friday again. As a whole I really treasure these 4 years I have abroad... but yet each day I hope that time will pass faster. Does it make any sense? I want the 4 years to pass slowly, but yet daily I wonder why my clock is ticking so slowly.
I'm glad people take the time to reply to my mass mails. Although the amount of time taken to click "reply" and type 2 lines is actually terribly terribly insignificant, some people(including me at times) will just read and then close the email. Its really heartwarming to see so many ppl reply to my mass mails, even those I know who have schedules that perhaps require 30 hours a day to fulfill. And that's why I make an effort nowadays to reply to my mails and keep in touch. Friends are hard to make and even more difficult to keep, yet they are so easy to lose.
Prof Scherer went through exam answers today... i think he'll be really disappointed when he realizes half the class is gonna fail. Hahaha... serves him right for thinking so highly of us. I do hope I did ok though. Academic performance to me is like an indicator of my emotional and physical wellness, cos if I don't do well I know its not because I don't work hard, it'll either be because there's something else on my mind or i'm too tired. Of course, academic performance has very significant effects on my emotional and physical wellness as well. Heh, reminds me of the positive feedback for an enzyme pathway that we learnt some time ago in JC. And that action potential propagation thing too... I think it was sodium gates open when sodium levels increase slightly?
The level of inefficiency in the working world is stunning. Paperwork takes years to clear.... its so ironic. Less workers means more efficiency and less efficiency at the same time. Maybe that's something like what diminishing marginal productivity means? Sometimes I get frustrated at the speed things get done in a group... but I think I've come to realize that for certain things, its not the final product that's meaningful but the "working together" part that I should place more emphasis on.
Ok.... Happy Valentine's Day :)
