Act Like U Want It


Recently I have been busy mentally.
By mentally, I mean literally the mind of my own, but it is not like
I have been in sick or something. Just, my mind is busy. 
With school-work, work-work, and some other stuff. 

My master program will approaching to the term-end although my dissertation thesis 
has not been developed sufficiently. 
"Topic is tough. I have no time. "
Everyday, the thought comes upon my mind. 
Then I recite this statement like mantra to fight back.
"for all the problems that human being has created, there must be a humanistic solution!"

I have more than one challenge to attend this graduate program.
First of all, I have full-time job at a very fast-changing manufacturing company. 
I work at an HDD manufacturing company. And this is a very fast-changing industry.
Second of all, the research theme I chose (or given?), is totally out of my academic background.
I gained BA (Bachelor of Arts) with Philosophy major. Now I am researching about
Lithium Ion Battery and Statistics. Give me a break...
I need to try much harder to get the things straight. 
I can't do this. I simply can't. This is crazy. This is not going to anywhere. 
Will I be extending my graduation? No, not a single chance. 
For many reasons, I have to graduate in this spring. It's a must.

Some has asked me why I would do this kind of challenges. 
I have no logical answer. Most people goes to school to get somewhere. 
But I am already here and going to school. 

What will I do? 
Where will I be?
What is it that I have learned? 

Resolves the time. 
One of the greatest things in schooling is that I have more options on above-mentioned 
questions, which you ask for yourself all the time. They are lifetime questions. 
It's an option o do what you really want to do.
It's strength that you can. 
It becomes special as years roll on. 
What to do with your life?
With our limited and equally given life-time?

9/11

Have come to the school as usual in morning.
Taken English class and realized that TV was on, and some students startet cry.
I didn't know what was going on.
That was September Eleventh, 2001.


In the afternoon, all the classes were canceled and we all went home.
From this day, there seemed more people started to wear american flags in their surroundings.

My arrival was only few days ago.
Everyday, I listened to the radio, watched the news on TV and Internet, talking to people and etc.

A very confused young man.

And it was the beginning of an end of the beginning...
