Life and Lists

Life.

It goes on. It does not wait for you to pack your bags and get ready for the next trip. You have to keep moving on this freeway- to stall in traffic means to concede to life's hurdles.

I'm finally getting back into groove again. I have recently uninstalled the games I frequently used to play and have made a list, and though incomplete provides refuge from my addiction to games. I constantly think back to the list whenever the need to play games grows strong to help me stay on track. This is a good way to not lose sight of the ultimate goal--a successful academic year at UCSD--and help clear away the distractions previously held in the past.

To Study:

1. Electrical Engineering

I feel like no matter the effort and time I put into studying for this class, I will always end up not doing as well as I would have liked. I invest so much of my time at the library just studying concepts and figuring out problems for the weekly quizzes, yet I find myself plastered with its intense intricate equations destroying me slowly from the inside...

ECE: 3 Jon:0

2. Physics 2B

Not even going to go into it, but this class is making me question whether I want to be an electrical engineer at all... hahaha much like ECE the amount of time and energy I pour into PHYS 2B seems pointless, because the rewards (scores on the quizzes) seem negligible.. Although I think I did okay on my most recent quiz.. so heres hoping to that?

3. MATH 20D

What a fun and exciting class I don't go to because they changed the classroom from Ledden to Center. God damn. What a nuisance.. But I really do make an effort to go to these classes.. All these classes actually. Just a matter of if I can wake up in time..

4. ECON 1

LOL... Midterm on Friday and I'm not worried.. is that bad? I haven't studied or been to class recently.. hmmm haha I think my friends have underhyped the class so as for me not to expect anything too rigorous out of this course.. I hope they're right.. haha

And the List keeping me on track...

List:

1. Gym

2. Basketball/ Tennis

3. Learn to Dance

4. Learn to Create Music/ DJ

5. Learn to Cook

6. ... etc

The list continues, but the rather simple notion of a list to turn to becomes invaluable as a way to ward off distractions.

I will try to set Blogs and Vlogs and keep it posted regularly when I do have time.

Shout outs to Alex Chan for helping me go through this.. we're in this together for better or worse hahaha
