I still consider myself a member of SRKF, but was recently asked how long it had been since I last attended a class. I thought for a moment, and couldn't remember. Months, lots of them.
More and more I've been realizing that I've fallen into a routine and mediocrity, and then another week passes, or another month, seemingly in a blink and I think to myself that it can't really be so. Unfortunately, I possess several independent means of telling the date, and a conspiracy between them seems unlikely at best.
And so it goes...until it becomes embarrassing to return to class. What would I tell those who asked why I had disappeared? No satisfactory answers came to mind. But then I thought to myself, more importantly, what would I say to someone who was in my position? I'd say the past is past, quit wasting the present. Hmm. I want to say "easier said then done"; however, that's untrue, and I know it.
It's nearing Chinese New Year, and I just hope it's not too late to get tickets.
