Where are you now karmie?

It seems like this semester I am taking a lot of eye opening courses. I guess the messages and morals are basically normally heard everywhere but sometimes you hear it so much that it comes in one ear and goes out the other. This semester I am taking a Humanism film class that analyzes Japanese films that revolve around the theme of humanism. The film we watched today was one I have watched once during freshman and it's called Ikiru or To Live. Maybe when I was in freshman year I was already motivated to do things so my movie reaction back then was like, "that's what I've been doing all a long! Initiating change." However, watching it right now at this moment of my life, it kind of makes me want to kick myself and reevaluate what needs to get done right now. I want to say it gives me hope for myself for the future to do things but humanist way of thought doesn't believe in hope. Although the reasoning behind not holding onto hope makes sense on the humanis...

I would like to propose a question... rhetorical possibly but for my personal interest and a way to make my thoughts lighter. How long does it take for a person to realize their purpose in life? These thoughts were running through my head when I was walking downtown victoria two days ago with a friend, talking about school. In the end, our day to day worries really doesn't matter in the future so why really worry that much about it now. Do the best I can and in one way or another, I will be rewarded in the end. Even if that reward lasts for that present time. It's the way towards simple life... possibly. It seems hard to realize as I really think about it, I am just starting my second semester of my third year and soon in september I will be embarking on my fourth year to almost graduating. I thought these thoughts wouldn't appear again after high school but now here I am thinking the same thing. It's relatively difficult eh? Hence, I am very jealous of people w...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Did everyone enjoy the holidays? Mine was mostly celebrated with family and immediately after new years, the next day I had to prepare to go back to Victoria and start the new spring semester. Looking at my semester schedule, I wonder whether I will survive or not. I am sure like any other semester I will, but this will be the first time I will attempt to complete six courses in one semester. I have always done four to five per semester. Pray I will go through this semester not smoothly... because I can foresee the tough times ahead but just merely going through the semester is good enough and not give up halfway. The good thing about the courses I'm taking though... I probably won't have exams during exam periods so my semester will finish on the last day of classes. Woot woot. So what does the new year have in store for myself? Right now, I see myself attempting to get through this semester whilst finding a job whilst possibly finding a new place t...
