Intermission

So, despite the fact that in the end of the semester I have been about as busy as normal (i.e. very busy), I have kindled an unusual amount of thought toward things I don't normally think about. Got a lot of time dedicated to reflection and evaluation lately. There are reasons for it that I know, and others that I suspect, but in general I think it is good.

Been going on for probably a few weeks now, but this morning I wrote down a list of things which I would like to dedicate myself to more, and I think I can actually do them. Two different levels of them, the first being things that actually drive and affect me strongly, and the second tier being things which I would mainly like to revive from their long-dormant rest.

There is never a good time to enact changes to your normal way of doing things that drastic, but I think I am going to try for this summer. I need to reach out and find new places and resources for some of them, but it only requires the dedication and motive. I am definitely willing to dedicate the time, but I am again faltering on the likelihood that I'll have have it free to dedicate.

Even when the semester ends, work will pick up full-force, summer classes and other engagements, as well as all those wants lower on the list are going to be fighting for my time, because they are quicker and easier to get to. I may have to focus myself a bit more to stay on track, even though I'd like to just relax too.

Hehe. These conflicting goals, sound so much like engineering trade-offs. It always comes back to those one way or another. Oh well. I'll have to write up a program to optimize them. :P I guess we'll see, in the end. But I'll be keeping at it, and hopefully at least get some of them together.

Valete!
