Normally on my days off, I'd just sit in my condo and watch TV. If there's a net connection, I'd be online. Then when the workweek comes a-calling, it's back to the salt mines, so to speak. Repeat ad nauseum. It's kinda boring, isn't it, the way my life has panned out?
I don't think I ever got to enjoy being a naive freshman, full of optimism and idealism. I think I was like that for all of 2 days of the freshman orientation and, a bit naive yes, I got converted into the -ism that is "realism". It's not as glamorous as it's made out to be, but it's there.
Dissatisfaction.
Boredom.
Restlessness.
Powerlessness.
Guess I never did get that "empowering" thing properly.
