Finally a little reprieve from a hectic schedule but it doesnt seem like I will have much rest during the break either. Lots of work to catch up on. It seems like I've been rushing from class to class, assignment to assignment, that I have not really had the time to fully appreciate the readings and lecture notes. In fact, I've ignored most of the readings and I feel that I remain largely ignorant on the subject matter of all the classes I've taken.

Back to journaling prompts:
2. One thing I have always wished for is:
probably a thousand things. But what came to my mind first was:
Watching earth from above aka be an astronaut.

Unfortunately, this is unlikely to happen in this lifetime.
Maybe the second best thing (and a little more realistic) is to own a library complete with a ladder and then have all the time in the world to read and remember all that I read. I guess this in itself are three wishes.

I'm not sure what's happening to me. I feel I am becoming a little too arrogant. I get annoyed and irritated when menial tasks get assigned to me but the thing is I am not even good enough yet to do "bigger" things. So why am I thumbing my nose at such tasks? But somehow I just feel like there's  a glass ceiling above me and I feel stifled. Maybe it's time I pluck up the courage to pursue other paths.

On another note, not sure why I've been getting a sort of telepathy with people I seldom get in touch with. E.g. 3 weeks ago, I got this prompting to get in touch with a girl I am not very close with but I chose to ignore it coz I was "busy". Alas, recently someone told me that the girl has been having some difficulties in life and having suicidal thoughts.
Some months ago similarly, something told me to get in touch with a friend but again, I pushed the thought away. Subsequently I found out she was going through a major crisis.
I wonder how we somehow "know" these things and I wonder why I never act on my instincts.

1. Something I’ve always thought about as a child:
Are there aliens? Is there another earth out there where there’s another me with an alternative life. What does it feel like to watch earth from above?
