The thing about discovering many things and broadening "one's horizons" is the imminent possibility of becoming a snob. You tend to see things differently and think you're so much better than everyone else. It bothers me because I think most of us weren't this defensive when we didn't have information so accessible before. On the other hand, it's so much harder to fool someone with regard to what your "beliefs" are; so many people out there are hybrids of who they want to be and what kind of person they have become. They may not be aware of it, but who they really are is very much visible. But what do I know? Someone, somewhere out there, is already devising a way to discredit what I had just said.

1. My new obsession is Anthony Bourdain. I might start collecting his books and series DVDs.
2. I've been harboring this secret dream of becoming a military nurse, or a nurse for the United Nations. Okay, I'm not kidding -- I think I'm going to try and achieve this. (If I can even get in the Nursing program!) Oh but it's up there with retiring in East Asia and having my own massive library of books and music. It really is.
3. "Spring Break" is a joke, but I need to make the most of it. I plan on finishing two books this week, updating my iPod on Dan Carlin podcasts + music, renewing my permanent resident card, setting up an appointment with both nursing and chemistry advisors.
4. For the most part this week, I think I shall be working alone. Yes, as in with no one else for most of the day, but so far it's been okay since everyone seems to be on vacation. I hope I didn't just jinx it.
5. I've never been happier and had more purpose in my life than today.
