So I've been doing next to nothing for the past 3 days. After monday, my optics exam, I have had next to no work to do. Usually it would seem like a nice thing, to be free from work. But when you haven't been working, you can't be free from anything. It's like being free from being free, makes no sense at all. Sitting on my ass and basically waiting for lunch, dinner and sleep... I feel like I'm taking up space. Me an animal? Even animals work hard, where do you think your dinner came from?
I'm staying in AA for spring break this year. No gripes. We were planning to go to Las Vegas and California but due to unforeseen circumstances, AA is where I will be found next week. There goes my dream of playing blackjack in the bellagio, another time perhaps?
I've been meaning to blog on a series of messages that I've heard at the 'other' church I go to in AA.
Sex and Relationships
The topic was as above. Very real, very honest and frank and very very funny. From NCC, I'd learnt about the different seasons of life. One of them was the season of singlehood, I remember it struck me as a very optimistic message. And it made sense. At some point recently, I'd nearly forgot about that so this message was very timely I felt. I think, as I approach graduation and begin to embark on the next phase of my life, I wonder what is in store for me. How should I prepare? For me, love and marriage, sex and relationships seem like the furthest thing in the world. And yet, I can't deny it they are very close to my heart.
Soon I'll be back in singapore and I still don't know what I will work on for my PhD. I'm not particularly worried. My experience at Shtein's lab has thought me some about my own working style and my interests. I just need one last confirmation.
I wonder if this spring break twist could turn out to be a good thing... for the rest of you dudes. Have a good spring! It's freezing here in AA!
