It is hard to believe that the summer is already gone. Well not quite I suppose but the next semester starts next week so for me, it is gone.

It has been a while since I updated this. A bunch of things have happened. The last semester was a killer. I screwed up one course but really it was a waste of time. I can actually differentiate between that now and am seriously thinking about my thesis. I suppose over time, you get very choosy and it is especially important for my (any) thesis since I am going to be working on it for a extended period of time. This is my first time doing a thesis: the last course, I chose the "coursework only" option so was good and the undergrad thesis does not count I guess.

I had to make a important decision regarding a couple of very important things (including moving from my current place) in the last month but I am very happy with the way it has turned out. I think I handled it very well. Again something to do with not compromising and following your heart.

They are playing a Ryoji Ikeda work here next month and I am so excited to see him. It is funny that I just came across his act because of a random flyer.

I have been reading Freakonomics and it is quite a good read. I think it is more about lateral thinking or radiant thinking and can actually be used in those books. Quite interesting none the less.

It has been very hectic otherwise. The summer is already over and in the mean time, I celebrated my birthday. Looking back, the last year has been incredibly productive both professionally and personally; full of change and growth. It is amazing how quickly time flies. I think this time has focused my mind and enegeries on my strenghts and more specifically tried to hone my creativity.

I am completely hooked on to Facebook. It can be very addictive.

I did catch up on a few movies: specifically The Simpsons and the Bourne Ultimatum. I enjoyed the Bourne movie much more than the Simpsons. Also saw Good Will Hunting the other day for the first time and it was fantastic: could realte to the Irish-Boston connection; the accent et. al.

More later.
