I needed a break earlier this week, so I've been trying to do things to get my mind out of work. I haven't watched any other animation since I left Boston, so I tried to marathon this series. And I watched 18 episodes in a row today. It's really a nice change of pace. I feel like I can get back to work now.
It's really strange. Now that I'm in San Diego, I started to miss everything back in university. Everything. It is even stronger than what I experienced four years ago when I left my hometown. Without sound, I felt like I was screaming. Yet, when I tried to dig into memories, my notorious mental lock start to function. I was bounced back from thinking, leaving only the dangling feeling in the air.
It is dark at night. A car rushed away in the street, kind of noisy.
And yet another one.
...for the driver's license. And now I can legally drive (if there's somebody with a license around). It's not easy mentally, especially since I haven't sat in the driver's seat for more than 4 years already. I didn't get used to driving in the first place four years ago anyways. It's more or less learning from scratch. I hope I won't crash into somebody....
I have a feeling that this summer will be a different one.
I come to San Diego, in part visiting my teacher, in part helping him in analyzing data. And then there are some plans going on. I almost have too many things to do, and I have to squeeze out some time for my personal stuff. As an example I'm start learning Russian. Здравствуйте, меня зовут Эфхэд. Pretty crazy, huh? I'm also not sure why I picked Russian. Then, if I still have time, I'll spend some time on Korean. I finally got past the first big barrier of learning foreign language: know how to read the words well enough so as not to discourage you from reading the text. But, well, learning both languages at the same time was the plan a week ago, but now it seemed almost impossible to do that at the same time.
Let's see how much of my plans I can carry out.
