My first few weeks at UBC
Finally, an update! This few weeks have been extraordinarily tiring. Every day I have to walk a total of 10 km or more from class to class and I'm still not used to it. Getting a bike? I'm too lazy to maintain it and lock it or unlock it. Bike (or even bike wheel) thefts on the campus aren't encouraging either.
Due to my kiam siap nature, I always go to further places to get cheaper goods, like food, books, comforter and stuffs. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fail. But despite of the results, I always end up using up a lot of time. I'm in a dilemma now: is the time loss and energy loss worth the money saved? It's a good question that I have to think on, that is, if I have time and energy to do that. But again, is the time and energy worth the answer?
Homework and assignment are slowly piling up. The absent of a laptop is taking its toll. Yet I will wait. I have waited for so long, if I can't wait now, what's the point of waiting in the first place? Every day, I pray for my liberation.
I'm also contemplating whether or not to work. It's not that I don't have enough money or what. But it's always good to have more money right? More money = better food, better clothes, better shoes, more travelling. Where should I work? Easy work like cafetaria work or harder work like... ? I don't know the options available...
Tomorrow is the club day (finally!). One of the very few things I look forward to here. Life's here is not as happy as I expected. Works don't get done, not many people to talk to; even when there is someone to talk to, I'm not willing to spend too much time chatting because I need to get work done; I'm getting fatter and fatter and I have no time/energy to work out and I don't have the energy to fast; I feel inferior to others because I don't know how to assemble a bike, my experiment-related skills suck, I get stuck on my physics assignment, I never designed a cool gadget before... the list goes on.
But I will always remember what Mr. Sarno told me: "Any problems you face in your life, no matter how complicated or how tough it is, you have to face it with the best of your abilities". And that is precisely what I'm going to do. Tomorrow is going to be a better day.
