as I sit in a room waiting for my next meeting, another Thursday( my free day) spent in school.
no one is online or on MSN between 11 and 12! or rather, no one I want to talk to... I suppose everyone is on their way to school.

Had an interesting chat yesterday. Are all of us too caught up with pursuing wealth, power, control that we neglect other things? My friend was commenting that many people just follow the set route. The 'go to uni, get a degree, slog your guts out, make big bucks and be successful'. But in the process, we forget the lesser things that we would like to do. Those that do not pay much, but is something that we would really really like to do.

Hmmm.. I have no answer to that. are we really too conditioned to do well in life?

I am pursuing what I think I love. but I dunno what other things I would really really like to do, but turn my back on it. have we been conditioned to just pursue the material things in life? It's like maybe it is not a wrong thing to pursue psych, but it is the filed I go into that matters. Do I go into something because it has more career prospects? Or do I do something like social work and counselling which doesn't pay a lot, but helps people? Could there be a balance?

perhaps it's just that I am indifferent to a lot of things. Anything can-go. I am not passionate about certain cause like Animal Welfare, Youth issues and stuff.

Ok.. enough rambling. My meeting is supposed to start in 2 mins. Any guesses that people will be late?
