Where have all the people gone?

the school is deserted.

i’m feeling glum cos things haven’t gone as i expected. one should never be ungrateful of life’s little blessings – they often disappear much faster than they appeared in the first place. that said i’m still a miserable fool for wanting the stupidest things in the world.

anyway, i had to write to an email to a really cool prof that i want to meet with and had to clarify what my “career” interests are. it made me realize how difficult it is going to be. i would be okay with doing a lot of things with my life, but what really gets me excited is the possibility of effecting positive change on a grand scale... i don’t know if it came across as naïve or pretentious in my email but i just put it out there anyway.

and the fact that i was told the consulate does not have any internship opportunities put a damper on my day. this is where i too wish i benefited from nepotism and an intricate web of connections...
