Reality.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and wonder why I put myself through this. I would like to take the easy way out, graduate with a B.Tech in a subject that I enjoy studying, and get into the working force. Already I'm begining to feel the pressures of having to make lots and lots of money. But I want to pursue something more...I can't explain exactly what I want. I guess I'm just begining to appreciate everything that I've learned in college (outside of the classroom of course). Imagine changing competely your view of the world in a relatively short period of time. Sometimes I tell myself that I haven't changed, stubbornly holding on to my carefree childish attitude. But I can't seem to suppress this new perception of the world. I can no longer pretend to be naive and ignorant, no matter how convenient it is for me. So I strive everyday to learn more about life and about people. Too bad classes get in the way. But its a small price to pay to interact with so many intriguing minds. I need to extend my time within the academic community. It seems as though graduate school is my only option. Unfortunately, this will take a little bit more sacrifice than I had anticipated.
