Being chair-ridden for a good part of the past two weeks has put things into perspective for me. I went through bouts of restless angst, immense lethargy, general depression, but fortunately also a finer ability to appreciate things i have.
Thank you everyone who messaged me with kind words, offered to bring me food / entertainment / various remedies, thank you Jiongz for driving me around campus, thank you my project group mates who had to take on my workload but never complained, thank you even to the girl who snickered when she saw me limping and stumbling over because you gave me so much motivation to recover and kick you puny ass. Thank you of course to J who tended to me like an underpaid nurse.
Anyway, it’s mid-march but never too late for resolutions. Keeping to my creed, i’ll make it as simple as possible because my goal is to follow through all of them.
1. Be productive profitably
2. Do community work
3. For every time i judge someone instinctively, formulate a justification for their action/trait until the judgment lessens
4. Be an active learner; place more emphasis on learning than grades
5. Make time to be thankful
THAT’S ALL. So simple, i better follow through!
