Oh look at that, another year has come to pass. What does this rabbit year hail? Will it be anything like a soft gentle fuzzy thing or something similar to the bunny from Monty Python? Technically the lunar calendar still calls it year of the Tiger for another month. Oh the blessings of leeway, in regards to resolution no doubt. But in all seriousness and retrospect, 2010's year of the tiger was real sweet to me.
All this crap had my head hanging heavy in the late parts of 2009. Anxious. Taxing. Pressure. A whole year of that shit. Just fucking lovely, I'll have seconds, thanks. Taking too many credits, working too many jobs, volunteering for anything, trying to be the boss of everything, and not trying to slow my roll. I knew I could do it all and fit it all on a resume if I could just make some more room in my resolve, i.e., give self-possession the boot.
Still, when I think back and wave away that fog of progression I can't completely despise that year since it served as good contrast for what 2010 was to usher in. The tiger welcomed me to a promise land of sorts ... or at least a check point on the way there. Sincerely I can say I'm where I aimed to be academically, professionally, financially, romantically, as well as mentally. Moral of the story: Hard work pays, and it tips fat!
Here approaches the second half of my 10 year outline and it's time to start on this part of the rough draft. If I know the nature of the hare, then this year will at least be fair to me. However the forecast has yet to be received so honestly it's nothing but a Schrödinger's box of chocolates. I could do a whole bunch of this or that, per usual, without any real resolution. Was never good at those anyways.
Just because I like to tease, I'll let the cat peek outside the bag. So facts first. Picked up GRE and MCAT study materials. Will take one or the other within the year to save future-self from having to do it. Time to learn mandarin as well as other misc. topics in physical science. Lose 10 pounds, regain my abs, and tone my ass. With my free time I'll probably dote on a new pet, decorate this cute little spot I've posted up in (whatever, call me Suzy), and be a stronger support network for the friends 'n fam. I made it to a good place and I'll pull everyone I love with me.
The Skinny
- Jie Hua
- Detroit, Mi
- I'm in the process. I'd like to expand on that, but it's in the process. I go about my business under the guidance of gut-feelings and universal street signs. I see myself as a very quiet person. Not because I have little to say, only that my abundant thoughts know not where to start. As a child I fantasized about looking through a telescope to give me truth about the world. It amuses me now that what I am doing is looking down a microscope in an effort to reevaluate my holistic position. I am a loner, a drifter, a dreamer.
