Subject: Beantown conversation

My usual schedule for Sun afternoon is going to Beantown (coffee shop) and immerses into my reading. No exception for today, i went there with one of my friends at school. Besides reading, we chatted for almost an hour just to vent out our feeling and thinking.

In sum, graduate school really is a process that makes people exhausted but, at the same time, prevents people from getting too comfortable with life and not having reflection on that. Maybe i should say, the difficult/frustrated situations in grad. sch just do not allow me not to think about what i am doing now and why. Paradoxically, shouldn't these questions be asked in every moment, as a way to evaluate if one is on the right track? I figure out that i just constantly need to talk about the same issues again and again. This is not a repeated cycle, rather, a spherical cycle. The revisit of the issues allow me putting new meaning for the experience. The issues do not change but my lens change. Actually it's a quite profound spiritual experience. When one has to expose to his/her vulnerability, usually forced to, the moment is frustrating but beneficial. I think that's what grad sch does on me.

Another topic we chatted about is friendship. We both incidentally thought of the fact that we so far haven't met anyone here that we felt like we were click. This feeling exaggerates when we have chance to see our old friends. The contrast comes to the surface. These couple days, i was seriously thinking that i should get a tix to visit Boston/NYC. I think i really need a break and just retreat to my safe zone at least for couple days.
