Thursday, April 28, 2005
Second last day of the first term of a co-op work term.
Report - finished. Is it any good? Highly unlikely.
Pizza day today - engage in eating at 1200
So what have I learned the past four months? Here's a recap:
1) Patience is gained thru being with ppl you wanna punch out.
Case in point: lab partner.
Well, I find that I'm learning more and more each day to become agreeable with disagreeable characteristics of myself and others.
2) Time is too short to waste away watching reality tv.
Case in point: Survivor, Apprentice, Contender, Amazing Race...
I felt that I've truly wasted my time here in Burlington. Time that I could have been used to connect with ppl and friends have been wantonly thrown away into the flickering electronic signals on a glass screen.
3) Behind everyone face, there is a soul waiting to find fulfillment.
Case in point: Co-workers
I realized that everyone at work has been quenching their thirsts in life with worldly activities and trivial pursuits (I too am one of them). True contentment is from God only, not thru status, posession and desires. I can see how devious a paycheck can be at times...
My desire to be used for an eternal purpose wavers like a flower in the wind. Consistency is key, commitment is crucial, passion is the driving force.
I really wanna be more focused while back at school, more "bigger picture" oriented and less self-seeking motivated.
