| | Moron This SemesterMy classes kick ass. I just glanced at my evening class' syllabus and I'm hugely enthusiastic. I'll have to be sufficiently more academic this semester than I have ever been- I'm trying to ration my slack-time in order to make the most of all this.
I suppose the biggest dilemmas in my life at the moment involve, as always, impending financial apocalypses, inducing self-change, and practicing self-appreciation. Those last two are especially hard to balance with each other.
I've been feeling the urge to write a lot recently. I've put down my pen many times in the last few years due to self-doubt and good judgement, and I'm beginning to believe that stewing all this time may have actually allowed me to come up with a few noteworthy ideas. They may not make best-sellers or even good blog posts, but they are enough to interest me in writing again, and I suppose that says something on its own. Perhaps I'll never actually get around to writing and I'll just have a lot of really good notes. I'm generally pretty good at notes.
Oh yeah. China.
This semester I'm feeling even more obligated to force myself into traveling abroad. One potential possibility includes throwing myself haphazardly at the whim of Princeton University, and the EALC program related thereto. Basically, I scrounge up a lot of money and they force me to commit to learning Chinese, in Beijing... the good way. I love the idea of it, but I don't know if I trust myself enough to pull it off. In any case, to even apply I have to throw together a lot of effort in the next two days, and I've been in the habit of being idle a lot recently. Breaking bad habits is a goal this semester... indulging in them is another. Discovering what I truly want to do with myself is probably on a back burner at this point. Narrowing my use of cliches is imperative to my self-appointing panel of self-improvement.
Finishing my homework, however, is the most urgent thing. First things first. Scratch that.
I'm going to read now.
