To be free from boredom, I aim to be stimulated intellectually
The thunderstorms came out as a surprise last night. Our poor Chow is scared to bits, so I'm asking my mom to buy him a doggie bed to be placed in our terrace for him. But the sudden strong downpour was refreshing, especially after the unbearable heat that seems to damage my mood.
It's quite gloomy now and I'm not sure if it's making me happy. The past few days have been boring. I swear I can't be idle. It bugs me to no end. I think my body has been wired to be busy and active, even if I never lose weight from it. I miss my jam-packed schedule and the seemingly endless projects and deadlines. God, I miss studying and extra-curricular life. (Just wait till you get to law school Pearl. You will probably eat your words out!)
My nerdy new discovery (thanks to my dear blockmate, Margie) is AcademicEarth.org, and it is brilliant! Open and FREE education from Ivy Leagues for the entire world! It is beyond fascinating and it makes me wish I had a consistent good broadband connection. Unfortunately, it gets kind of screwed up sometime in the afternoon. So now, I am spending any idle time listening to different lectures.
Currently, I am halfway through Yale's Political Science course on Game Theory and Benjamin Polak is just cool. We've studied Game Theory, Prisoner's Dilemma and Rational-Choice for my Polsci courses, which makes it even more interesting because I have background on it. Benjamin Polak just keeps me interested. I would just love to be in that class. There are more lectures on the course and I will find time to watch them all. At least one lecture a day.
I say this - ONE DAY I WILL STUDY IN AN IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL. ONE DAY.
To when that will be is a mystery. Law school still lies ahead and I am quite interested with how that's going to make of me.
On another note, I am back and having fun with Twitter, while I get even more fascinated with celebrity Tweets. Add me guys!
