A Rush of Blood to the Head

So much to do, so little time. I'm in that overambitious phase again. Everyday, I find myself studying like 6 hrs and feeling numb afterwards. I close my eyes and a rush of blood comes to my head. Suddenly, I recollect everything I did the past few hours. Sometimes I really think my brain's gonna melt. I'm pushing myself almost to the point of exhaustion. I question myself; is this really worth it? I believe all this supposed hard work will get me somewhere in the future. Will the merit really be worth the effort I put into my activities? I believe and hope so. I just hope I can make it till the end. It would be so much better if someone would help carry me.

My life is like a desert. Much of it is dry sand that entraps unprepared victims, but every once in a while, there is an oasis to refuel the weary. There is no rest for the traveler that wants to stay alive.

The Eye of the Night

It was raining today with a very low temperature outside, so consequently, everything froze over. It was a bit eerie and mysterious but nevertheless beautiful. During the peak of the night, I went photo hunting for beautiful, frozen scenery. Reconnecting with nature is always refreshing - thinking of the Creator and the greatness of him. I've come to realize one can find tranquility and peace sometimes in the simplest things. One doesn't NEED ambition to fill up them up with business and success. Once again, simplification and moderation is needed; not too much, not too little, not too hard, not too easy. Finding and sustaining the Via Media isn't easy, but is well worth the effort of self-control and persistance

Reluctance?

To go back or not to go back? That is the question. I think everybody has that ambivalency towards returning to the dreaded, yet breath-taking scene of Umich. I mean, sure everybody dreads starting new classes, but im sure everybody loves to see their friends and enjoy the sites to see on campus. Bah, for me, it's another crack at getting good grades and promenade through the social scene. Hello Michigan. Again.
