musings
I probably should be working on my personal statement right now or packing, but neither sound very appealing. Maybe I can find some motivation after I write this.
Since I got back, I’ve been trying to get my life in order again. I found myself back where I started when I left 6 months ago, with the exception that I had killed 6 months of time. Between the job search, apartment hunt, and running around like a headless chicken trying to figure out medical school stuff, the past month went by fairly quickly. I’m moving back to the bay area this Sunday and going to work on Monday. While I don’t miss waking up at the crack of dawn like I did in Kolkata, I do miss having a schedule that makes me feel productive.
Going through my boxes, which I left unpacked when I moved back home in October, I found a ton of textbooks (oddly enough I have 2 general chem ones). I regret not reading them as thoroughly as I should have when I was in school. There were many a class where I barely looked at the assigned reading. Looking back, I was so focused on finding shortcuts to getting good grades that I didn’t enjoy the process. I’m bringing a lot of the Psychology books up with me, including the ones that were supporting my bed instead of being read. Hopefully I’ll find myself flipping through them and learning something on my own time. Though I do sometimes question by I paid money to get an education when I can just learn it by myself.
On matters completely unrelated: I love Crate&Barrel and I’m clueless when it comes to cars
