Midterms
It's as if everything I post now only relates to school lol, or mostly to school, but it's kind of all I'm really doing so...
It doesn't get dull. Tiring, yes, but only because I'm physically tired, in no way interiorly tired. I'm so happy. I took my first university midterm today, to me, it's what I've been waiting for for a long, long time, as odd as that sounds. I have two midterms on monday, so the weekend is full to say the least.
Just an update. My best to everyone taking exams right now.

Why I love Literature
I was born a science guy. I used to fantasize that my closet had a secret door which lead to an underground laboratory, with pipets, erlenmeyer flasks, and lab coats (mine personalized as Dr. Simmons) -- it goes without saying, I was a huge Dexter's Laboratory fan when I was kid.
Slowly though, I began to appreciate the other side of the human experience, from physical sciences... to the human experience. It began in dance, I started to dance in middle school, and continued onto high school by being a part of my High School's dance company. And I loved it, but long story short, I ended up so caught up in dance that I forgot to balance it with my love with science.
In college, one course forever changed my perception of reality and ingrained in me the realization of the need for one to come to an appreciation for and balance of science and the human experience, a balance of both extremes of the spectrum, from pure mathematics to abstract art, both are necessary.
One part of the human experience I'm so in love with is literature. Literature is essentially everything you've read of in history, or in the news, or of situations in life (love, relationships, stories, etc), but told in either in a first person account or third person account, all done so artfully. You can't fully know a situation without reading the literature of the situation.
Literature is personal (essays are different, but still personal, lol). It all boils down to this, literature is personal. The sincerity of the human experience can be written. I can know of no more compassionate person than one who considers another person's literature (in the case when you aren't able to actually meet or know the person, in person).

Songs like this...
... at the right moments, like now for me, how I've just spent the whole day going through frustrations, worries (I know, I got to stop that), and long hours studying, now just laying on the couch, on the computer looking out the window, having gone through a long day of work, again, feeling incredibly blessed I'm able to do everything I'm doing right now, just sync so well I can't quite explain properly how happy, thankful, peaceful I am...
