Myth Busted

    Some of you might be wondering what I have been doing the past semester besides the usual equation humping and bathroom trips.  The truth of the matter is that I've signed a contract with Department of Defense that requires if not all of attention and brain power.  This job is so intense that over time I've grew extremely emotional attached, and come to think of it, this is the next best thing that happened to my life after knowing Christ.  The pay is harsh, actually negative, because of the out-of-pocket expense when it comes to purchasing state-of-the-art researching equipment.  And health benefit is close to nothing comparing to the job hazard I face: constant exposure to highly radioactive elements and experimental malnutritious food, all on top of NJ Turnpike commute between my house and my research facility. 

    Nevertheless, a contract such as this is something every boy dreamed about during childhood, to know that one has pressed on to reach his childhood dream is nothing less than the work of God.  I remember back in the middle-school days when God all of a sudden flipped my geek-switch on, that’s when I decided I would strive for perfection at all cost, even if it cost me my precious time, i shall persist.  During high school I saw a lot of potentials, but my shyness saved me from potential disasters.  My undergraduate years have proven the same fate, that I am either too shy to approach a job potential or too occupied with school work and games to get my butt out of my room to initiate.  Finally at the last year of my graduate school, a door of opportunity opened.  I remember saying to myself:  "hey! This offer has always been there, how come I didn't realize?  I guess I was just too dumb to realize."  Now I think I am mature enough to face the responsibilities and joy of signing this contract, I ought to grasp this opportunity before I let another dog-year slip by.
