i actually only came in to see who was still all here. I think this site stopped being “help” a long time ago.
I miss you a lot, and Im sorry if the last time we talked really was the last straw.
i figured i wouldnt be hearing from you again.
What you need to do is schedule breaks as a reward for study. You feel less guilty that way. My roommate and I used to have a deal. If I wanted to do two hours study, I would ask her to time me. Then she’d come over with a cup of tea and a homemade “you earned a break” voucher. I did the same for her. I still have my tatty voucher somewhere..
Sounds like everything is panning out well for you. I’m glad to hear that. Sometimes it’s ok to chill and take a break.. just so long as you balance it out ok.
I don’t know why it’s so dry in Colorado. Are you in Colorado Springs again? My aunt who lives there used to work for Cray Supercomputers, so there must be some sort of programming jobs. People do make a living freelancing on the net or even writing hit commercial software but that takes a lot more effort or luck than getting a regular 9-5 job.
Guru.com is the one freelance site that someone here said paid all their bills — I think she did some sort of writing and he was a programmer.
I see a cool link I left in your shoutbox a long time ago that turns the world backwards. Hopefully I can go find a post where they need a backwards world.
It’s an interesting concept, it seems like there should be more open marketplaces on the net. And that, in a way is just like help.com — a person posts a need, others randomly browse the posts and help where they can. One of the differences is that you can earn cash there. Not much cash, because people are competing against others who may be able to live like a king off a dollar a day.
Good to hear from you ^^
I was a bit worried if I had sent the mail to the wrong person ^^ Its okay take your time in replying :)
So how are you doing ? Hope you are well :D
I’m okay, doing good for now :D
Hahaha, i would love to study. Sadly, since my school got in the way (again) i forgot what i knew. Once i get back into it ill continue. I hate school sometimes… its gets in the way of my learning. lol
My help email links sucks, but you can keep in touch with me at max_need at yahoo ca…lol..you can do the dots:)
I think is great you’re not hanging here much and going out to grow:)
Help is a tool and you’re getting new ones:)
In lieu of a card or picture, I wanted to write and let you know how very thankful I am for knowing you and for our correspondence. I hope you have an absolutely lovely day—single or not—and enjoy every minute of it! Live it up! We shall never pass this way again, so let’s make the most of it.
☺Below are some quotes I thought you might like on this day:
“Time is:
Too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love,
Time is eternity. Time is
Too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love,
Time is eternity.”
“To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you’re getting this down.” (hehe)
“To laugh often and love much . . . to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to give one’s self . . . this is to have succeeded.”

Oh, things keep you busy, that’s good. All right, good luck with what you are working on. Perhaps I will send you an email in a few weeks and see how you are doing then too ^^
Thanks!! Hope you are going to enjoy your vacation away from this site, haha. Going any where interesting? Thanks for opening your email, I opened mine too. Shoot me an email if you wanna chat (and I’ll do the same). :o)
the me right now: a slightly above-average intelligence bibliophile and shrinking violet with a bit of an ego problem. too socially anxious and not diligent enough, atrocious writing skills, and full of uncertainty about the future career. still a wide-eyed idealist with a hidden cynical side, not nearly as pragmatic as desired.
if you haven’t changed at least one of these flaws, you’ve clearly failed~ by this point, you should be a knowledgeable socially-functionable diligent writer-chemist-artist that is financially-savvy. you probably still need work being more humble, and i bet you haven’t changed your idealism yet. hopefully you also figured out a career, even medicine right now seems like a gamble.
your top anime/manga series: haruhi suzumiya (novels), manabi straight, kimi ni todoke (manga), toradora (novels), ghost in the shell (series), kanon/clannad. latest last.fm is full of classical/romantic/baroque music with a touch of indie rock/pop.
i think you’ll do a fantastic job. settle into a career you actually will enjoy, and most of all, be your own person. lead yourself, but enjoy life. really.
You COULD be me… but I wouldn’t advise it. Being me would require that you get electrocuted randomly wihle walking by refrigerators, filing cabinets, and store shelving.
I force myself to see them as fun, exciting little surprises, instead of cursing loudly. Too many people started thinking I had Tourette Syndrome.
Interesting. I wonder how Chinese compares to Japanese–I heard knowing Asian languages was like the new “thing” for American businesses since that is the growing market.
Thank you for your well-wishes! Yeah, I hope things work out too, and am looking around the City and I really it all works out because I could definitely see myself at least starting my career here. It was fun combining law and business, and it’s funny, because if anyone had even asked me a few years ago when I started ugrad if I would ever even consider grad school in B/Law I would have looked at them like they had two heads. But that’s what happens when you randomly decide to take an elective econ course…That’s how I like to think about life…It’s something you can’t really plan too much for–instead, it just kind of happens along the way. :)
Medicine is really impressive and I am sure it will be a great field to study. I used to be an EMT for a few years (back when I was sure I would be a doctor) and it was very interesting work. Are you almost through uni or do you have a while to go?
Also nice to find someone that can empathize with the pet situation. Parents couldn’t understand why I was so upset bc is just part of life, and I was like, you don’t get it, he’s literally always been there for me. Ah well.
Yeah I was looking at toastmasters too! I’ve heard good things! Wow, interesting.
I have similar issues though, with it being visible. I get sweaty and unsure of myself. I try really hard to put on an act like nothing is wrong, but in my head I’m freaking out. I think some people who know me well notice when I’m in that state of anxiety.
That’s good that you’re looking at Toastmasters though… I have hope for us!
OMG it’s so tough to deal with sometimes! Apart from my social anxiety, I’ve been looking into volunteering for hospice. I think it is somewhat helpful because I’ve been meeting and speaking with new people a lot. It’s slightly terrifying, but each time I tend to deal with it easier. I’m also looking into joining a public speaking group. Not sure if it will help but it’s worth a shot. I’ll let you know if I find anything that works haha. Otherwise, I think the best option is just to face it and actually talk to people/go out/etc, as terrifying as it can seem…
Well, I won’t complain if I’m doubly loved =P
I hope I’m the type of person who will succeed. I’m at least a person who can survive and learn, so that might help.
Ah, long time then. That will be quite packed in, hmm? I hope it goes well =)
