No, this is not another rant about perception of time. I've had enough of THOSE already. This is just to report that, one month after being home, there have been very little change in very many things. When the deadline is taken away, the efficiency decreases. That is why sometimes I believe that mortality is a necessity. It is, after all, the ultimate deadline to the human life with few successful extensions (though the med department, I believe is doing their best) and no permanent ...absolution? And as that humanity is a composite of individual human efforts, therefore I conclude that the rapid progression of humanity is a result of limited life span of individuals.
There are, needless to say, plenty of questions and implications. I can cover a few of them, but even so it will be too long. Hence I will only list what I have accomplished sense summer begun:
- unpacked everything from the jumbo that came back from Davis
- repacked half of the stuff that I know I'll need for Davis
- repacked everything else possible for the move-in, which is still taking place
- unpacked all things possible after they have been moved, which is not nearly enough
- finished one acrylic illustration, as commissioned
- read anywhere from 5-10 books, an utterly insufficient number, considering the length of my reading list
- burned data backup disk
- performed routine computer maintenence on desktop
- cleaned, cleaned, and cleaned, for various places and various reasons
- wrote, to date, four programs in beginner's level c
- wrote, to date, 5-10 pages, 3 of which are in type, 2 of which may be marginally readable, as will see.
- 5-10 sketches, pencil or pen, needing significant modifications to be presentable, but yet were scanned without the said modifications
And that essentially concludes my list of what I have accomplished in the time of one month. I'll need to regulate myself better, provided that things stop changing long enough for my regulations to stand longer than a day.
