I'm not...

1 min read
Isn't it odd that backing out of a long weekend, group trip to lake with fall foliage should hail relief, and the thought of painting alone in my basement is looked forward to? That's not normal, is it? I guess after all these years of trying, it's just pointless to keep trying to pretend to be normal.

Old age...

1 min read
Walked whole day in a huge garden, waited 5 evening hours in an outdoor bus booth, another 7 overnight hours in a bus seat, waited 16 hours in various airport seat, then another 16 hours in a plane seat.  Travel fatigue with jetlag into a whole other climate, across several time zones from start to end, with something else unidentified all together kept me horizontal with a collection of pains for 3 days.  It's the sign of Old Age!!!

I can't believe this master's program is finished. I can't even imagine how to spend the waking hours now without assignment and deadlines and the need to juggle 4 different new and sophisticated graphics software all the time.  This has been an especially insane experience, but also rewarding. But also insane. And unhealthy.

One last shot

In 14 days I leave this great city that never sleeps, this state, even this great country that has changed the world so much in so short a time span.  And I'm glad, for my own reasons, despite a pessimistic estimation of my chance of success in this program.

I've clawed this door open out of desperation, it's a one last chance of sorts.  I've been a disappointment in life to many for too, too many years, especially to myself.  But I'm going to fight one more time.

It's been said that success isn't about who started first, it's about who stood to the last.  

It's also been said that life isn't about how high up you're at, it's about how far you've climbed, and all the hills and valleys you've walked.  Especially the valleys.

In the end it's the game, the fight itself, that will mean something, not the thousands of speculating critics surrounding the stadium.

Anyway, that's in 14 days.  Right now, this hour, I have a small fight against the park trail waiting.  Because, another saying goes, be the change you dream about, or dreaming is about the only thing that will come about.  (That's not what he said, but something like that).

[edit]  Classes aren't even starting and all the pre-class events plus shopping is taking up all days, but it's really only been 3 days...
