this past semester has been characterized by one thing: routine. personally, i like the comfort there is in routine because everything is organized, has its place and time and at its best, the routine helps ensure that things get done. productivity = feeling of success = pleased with one’s self. to some extent, the routine has also helped with building discipline–I am less inclined to pangseh something to do something else but it also compounds the guilt when I drop out of the routine to get some slack time. [fortunately, there is quite a bit of slack time factored into the routine...]

the problem, then is…that i’m bored? unchallenged? uninspired? unhappy?

not really, most of the time i’m quite happy with what I’m doing and there is enough flexibility within the routine for me to do things that I like.

perhaps the worst thing that has come out from this is my reluctance to embrace spontaneity as a result. thankfully, I have friends like @christine1411 who jerks me out of my routines and reminds me to live life a little more, take time out to walk around and talk, catch up and people-watch. tomorrow, i’m doing something spontaneous for myself and i’m excited!

I heard it from a friend
The Revolution never happened
Sigh
A little die
No more a child
Goodbye

No where’s the woolen sweater
You mentioned in the letter?
Imply
The other guy
And scandalize the lion

A clean shave in the morning
And a full beard with no warning
Time has gotten by on alibis and wine

Success is so forbidding
But it makes me think I’m winning
Quiet
Dim the lights
Adopt another lifestyle

You look like David Bowie
But you’ve nothing new to show me
Start another fire
And watch it slowly die
