So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

I shuffled out in order to make him gasp with concerned astonishment that he had awakened me by his 0-dark-thirty egg-filled breakfast. He went to NYC today to shadow a plastic surgeon. He's thinking about getting into plastic surgery. I don't know though, that might take up the time he would otherwise spend teaching o-chem, teaching physics ("which is a little boring to teach because it's soooo easy!"), finishing med-school, writing his neuroscience dissertation, doing his normal residency, doing some carpentry (on the side), speculating in real estate, considering funding online dating start-ups, and fixing the washing machine. Meanwhile his mother is a librarian who used to be a classical pianist and both his father and brother were golf pros. Now his brother lives in San Francisco and sometimes France, where he has a house on the french riviera and he is involved with high stakes investment banking.
Back when he was in college (after he graduated from an alternative "hippy" magnet school that only the two smartest kids from each regular school were allowed to attend, where he was a class or two behind Matt Damon, and lived on the same block as the New Kids on the Block), he was in a rocker band and enjoyed some popularity as a bassist. Now that he's getting a little older, he'd like to settle down and have some kids. He's also shifted his attention to becoming incredibly buff, which involves constantly pumping iron at gold's gym as well as eating protein shakes for breakfast which are a mix of juice, ice cream, ice, protein powder, fruit, and broccoli. It is usually a brownish-green color and the blender is on the other side of my wall. Then he makes fun of me for eating baloney and peanuts and eats another ten eggs. But the point of this story is that this morning when I awoke, my first thought was of course of boolean operators, because I'd been trying to cram Matlab into my head for the entire day previous. But my SECOND thought was that I should spend this semester cultivating a secret life. I mean, the internet is a good place to start, and some may say that I have a secret life online (yes, it goes even further than nutang, my online secret life), but I think in addition I will cultivate a real-life secret life. What will my secret life entail, you may ask? Why I cannot tell you, it is a secret. But I will tell you that while last semester the main thrusts of my constant battle of self-improvement were learning how to cook food and learning how to be graceful (AND TURN MY FEET OUT!!!), and the thrust of the winter term was to get into touch with my creative side (i.e. start drawing, writing, and taking photographs again) the thrust of this semester will be centered on improvement of the brain. I intend to learn everything there is to learn. EVERYthing. I will learn all of it. And memorize most of it. Of course this focus on the brain is sometimes a mistake, because it ignores the body and an idle body can wreck havoc on the concentration that the mind is trying to achieve, so if I can throw a random break-dancing class in there, I will, but I'm mostly going to try to get to bed early and wake up early and memorize things and read outside materials (not all of it has to be related to class, of course) and become one of those mofos that seems to know every damn thing. In the past the mistake I have made with these types of semesters is that I aim to "do well in my classes". I can't really control that. I can only *KNOW. EVERYTHING.* and the evaluation methods that my professor chooses will be up to him. But I will not be hemmed in by the subject material presented in my classes. All of this will be more achievable if my aims are mostly secret, and my sessions of scholarly enhancements clandestine. No more will be said of this. Forget all you know.....

Yech.... » randomjunk on 2007-01-24 10:30:06 I am trying to work taking ballroom classes from a local dance club into my schedule, but between playing "Soccer Mom" and taking 5 freaking classes, I don't know if I will have the time nor money to do so. But I have made a commitment to myself to try to save up enough money to get myself a new digital SLR. I love my regular film camera, but I hate waiting for the freaking pictures to be developed before I can even see if I was using good camera settings or not. LAAAAaaaaAAAAaaaME. » ranor on 2007-01-24 10:37:47 Oh. Also, I have started biking. Not in a Kristina-sense of the word, but just like going out on the weekend and biking along some paved trails and whatnot. » ranor on 2007-01-24 10:39:36 wow » spunky on 2007-01-24 11:08:19 the sheer number of entries you are able to crank out in such a short span is utterly impressive » Rip-Tide-Prophecy on 2007-01-24 11:19:05 woahhh i gotta say, you have ambition, thats for sure. im kind of jealous. ive always wanted to be one of those people that could go on jeapordy and know all the answers. or maybe just someone like this guy in my class, who seems to know anything you ask him about. yeah, im jealous. » bananaface on 2007-01-24 11:25:59 I think I need some thrust good entry =) » ShirleyTemple on 2007-01-25 01:02:45
