As I Watched the World Go By....

So i actually have a poem in the works for this one..thought of it while i was eating lunch in the park. Been a long week, so i decided to go sit in Aldrich park and have some lunch in the sun. So i relaxed for like some 30 minutes by myself and just enjoyed the scenery. Thats when i saw it. I had been staring at a tree in the distance for a little while, just admiring its beauty and how quite it seemed. It was then i saw a leaf fall from the tip top of its branches. I watched it float slowly all the way to the ground.

I realized that i was probably the only person in the whole world who saw it. Not a significant event per-say to some, but to me the end of the circle of its life and the beginning of another. I had just sat there and watched some of the world go by. Thats when i realized that it is not often i get to see the world go by, but rather the world watches me. Constantly ignoring it and living my own life, never really stopping to admire the beauty around me.

So as i sat and watched the world go by i realized that its about the moments in life that matter the most. I often watch the lives of others go by, its those experiences we miss out on that are important. What have i missed in the last year while i sit around at UCI...watching others worlds pass right by? I feel like sometimes i am waiting too much as i watch opportunities and people pass me by. Too patient as i wait for things that may never be.

So i finished my lunch, looked one last time and walked to go do hmwk as i stopped watching and start traveling in the world that moves on by.

My only regret..

...is that i will not be alive in 3 generations to see the stars and what explorations we humans will have ventured amongst the universe.

To save the world...

...if there is one thing i would stand by for the rest of my life..its to save the world...

Why im excited

So gave my first quarterly engineering presentations with both my mechanical and materials science project groups. I was kinda nervous for both of them, but once i started to talk for either of them, i lost almost like 95% of the nervousness. Felt good.

Wont lie that these projects are a lot of work and will encompass the next two quarters...but it feels good to finally be using the last 4 years of my education for something other than routine homework. For the EWH (engineering world health) project of creating a SIDS breathing monitor for 3rd World countries, feels like im actually making a difference. And for the mechanical project we are creating an apparatus to develop methane hydrates for scientific purposes. If this is what engineering feels like...then i picked the right major. I hope when i get a real job i can feel like this. Cause then i would not mind going to work ever morning. Cause i would know what i am doing wont just mean a buck for someone. Maybe, just maybe...it will mean i can change someones life.

The debate of all

I often sit and wonder why. Why has my life turned this path and gathered these scenarios? All that has happened in my life has lead to this one point in my life with all the different things that make me me. I am always so happy with how most things turned out in my life so far. Family, friends, all of that has been a gift in my life. I just always worry about after college. After i am on my own. I just hope i dont end up alone. haha. A unbelievable statement, but it bothers me often. How to keep from being alone.

...Finals...= :(

SO.....finals are almost here. But first i have to get past the two presentations coming up this week. The materials science one is on tuesday at 3pm and the mechanical engineering is friday at like 12:30pm or sumtin. Not too nervous about those cause we will be in a group and it wont just be me up there shooting the breeze. Have both my finals on December 8th, one is in the morning and the other is like 6-8pm at night i believe. Not too prepared for those two at this moment, but i think since ill have solely Friday-Wed to study for them ill be able to study up enough to put up a fight to get a good grade. Many so glad that i can start to run again after some 2+ weeks out of the running. Got a minor groin pull or tear that i didn't want to risk and go running. Not sure...but if you have ever had a pull or tear in that area then youll understand why i wanted to stay put. HURTS LIKE A B*TCH!

K. Cheerios!
