Such a forgetful person I am. Looking back at the beginning of September, Geodesy Retreat, numerous meetings with prof and grad students, things learnt and planned to learn... So many things going on and so many things await ahead. What about now? What about today? The first few weeks seemed fine, with relatively few numbers of assignments. As time passed, the situation has gradually changed. I am slowly losing the state of mind I built which is extremely frustrating.
I must find my rhythm back or else even I won't agree that I am qualified for what I plan to attempt.

So this is another day not paying attention in class. I couldn't help looking back on my older posts here and falling into the swirl of memories. Along with this song I recently fell in love with, which makes this process more intriguing, "It won't be like this for long".
As for happy events, such as a nice day at school, a happy celebration for a friend's birthday, or simply doing well on a test. It won't be like this for long. Cherish those moments since they are just moments. Soon they will be gone, leaving no trace for us to find or recover. No matter how many pictures you take or how many words you write, they are not coming back and we can only experience them in memories and dreams; Being in a bad mood sucks. Having a heavy load of assignments is as well frustrating. Breaking up with someone, losing a tough tennis match, having a horrible performance on stage...we can only list down too many bad experiences we had. But what for? It feels terrible going through a hard time, however; these are also moments that can easily be gone through time.
This reminds me of the movie I saw a few months ago. Now is Good, starring Dakota Fanning, with this beautiful quote "Life is a series of moments. Let them all go. Moments. All gathering towards this one."
Now is good, now is bad. Now is just a moment that will soon be gone. Cherish them with utmost care, lest they should slip by without being noticed, and be unreachable ever since.
Now. Here. This moment. So many things passing by, along with so many emotions rising and fading. Grabbing this instant to do what I always want to do and to say what I've been wanted to say may be difficult and risky, yet I think I am going to take the chance this time.
