Mission Impossible
I watched Mission Impossible III on Friday with the MIT ABSK people. I'm not sure what made me go to bible study. Perhaps it's because I finished my work early and I was almost sure that I wasn't going to do further work that Friday or perhaps it's because of Jenny's incessant badgering ^_^ nah, I dont think it's that. But I know for sure it's not because of MI III since I didn't even wanted to see it in the first place. Anyways, I'm glad I went because I got to ask some big questions regarding Jesus and resurrections.
The rest of the week will be a mission, hopefully NOT impossible. Its going to be ultra hectic because storage opens Monday and I want to get my big bulky stuff down there like my fridge, cabinet, chair, light, and...my pillar down there asap. That means I have to thaw out my fridge and take care of all the junk that's lying around. I also need to do a huge bulk of laundry and washing out some stuff from a long time ago since I will be packing away a lot of things. This year, I have decided that I am definitely purging, meaning that I will not be keeping any unnecessary stuff. I really can't understand now what my biggest fear during pre-frosh days came from--the fear of not having enough of my stuff around me--and now, I am just so sick and tired of all the clutter!
I got a good room--a nice single with a riverview, and back on the floor that I sorely wanted last year. Some friends will be on 4E--it's farther down but the distance won't be too bad. I'm just really glad because 4W has a nice view, it's quiet, brighter...and then I found out a lot of my friends will be there too so I won't be lonely. I haven't lived in a single for the previous two years...and I dont know how I will fare. All I know is that I have lived in a single almost all of my life and I guess it has its bliss--the privacy, etc. (except back home, I usually don't hang out in my room, unless now). The last two years of doubling with people--well, it definitely is a good experience. Taught me that people are different and they follow different standards. It definitely allows you to get to know someone, not just how to act in the classes but also from a non academic perspective. Lets you see what they are really like. And if you have a good roommate, you can share experiences, lots of laughter, secrets, etc. and feel really at home and safe. Of course, a bad roommate does exactly the opposite. Makes you feel lonely, unwanted, and entirely angry and frustrated. As for me, I had a little of both. So I guess I feel kind of justified to be getting a single next year.
This semester was here, now almost over, and soon will be gone. And then I would have completed my education in MIT by 1/2! Life sure moves quickly. It wont be long before I will be out on the job market looking for work or planning the next stages of my life. Sometimes if I think too much about it, it makes me think of the impossibleness of the mission--how will I ever get stuff done? but one day at a time and one minute at a time will do.
