Go on your own adventure ~ Find out more about AIESEC UPD;
It’s been 11 years. Your memory is a remora stuck to my shark of a heart, except this time, it’s the shark that relies on the fish. See you Lolo, but hopefully not too soon!
Next week is going to be jam-packed. Heaps of school work for every day of the week, plus filing for candidacy and the jitters that come with it. Add to that the promotional man+brain power for AIESEC Week, but I’m too excited to be nervous. In addition, I plan on going to the events lined up for every day of the week.
I should be getting a move-on shouldn’t I? But no, tonight, I will check out 9gag and Tumblr, and when I am sleepy, I will sleep. I will set my alarm clock to a 9-hour sleep.
You may think I am deucedly setting myself up for failure, but I’m an engine. I will run for hours, and I will take myself places.
Wanna know how a car survives long trips?
Don’t forget to take time to gas up.
If I had a time machine, and I could go back anywhere in time, I might go to a lot of times, to prevent myself breaking something, forgetting something at home, etc., but tonight I want to go back to when I was choosing a course for College, to a time when I was young and idealistic and thought, “hey, I could do this! I can do anything! My mom said so!”, and threaten my younger self with a shiv: “Listen younger self, you’re going to love your choice most of the time, but there will be times, at least 5 days a month, where you will want to use this to cut out your heart, and present it as a gift to the gods, to please help you finish what you have to do, just so you can finally rest after what feels like a bajillion years of not resting……………….
…but hey, no pressure!”
After long periods of days of being persnickety, in every sense of the word, I just want to be carried by someone whose forearms can help me bear the load my brain dumps on me. I like your arms, because they act as shield and weapon at the same time.
perspicacious \pur-spi-KEY-shuhs\ , adjective:
1. Having keen mental perception and understanding; discerning.
2. Archaic. Having keen vision.
outrance \oo-TRAHNS\ , noun:
The utmost extremity.
In order to be perspicacious with the challenge you are facing, don’t just put your mind to it, don’t just follow your heart, put your very soul, from the center to all its outrances, into your product. You sell everything you create, you sell it to your professor, your parents, your friends, and most importantly, you sell it to yourself. If your soul is passionate about your product, it will show in the product, and the product will sell because your soul shines through. That alone will bear your burden alate.
viscid \VIS-id\ , adjective:
1. Having a glutinous consistency; sticky; adhesive.
2. Botany. Covered by a sticky substance.
They say that learning is a process that knows no desinence. This is only true if one takes a viscid grip on every experience that comes his way.
