Its Been a While

I just watched the movie "Gandhi" and it stirred such strong emotions in me. The kind of feelings I remember feeling as a turbulent, hormonal, rebellious teenager. It was great. I have been looking for an idol forever. I think I just found mine. I wouldn't marry him but I would definitely worship him.

That being said, I am trying to incorporate some of his teachings in my lifestyle. Simple things like being satisfied with what I have, coveting less and performing more. Its the hardest thing for me to be still and be patient.

Also, the goal I had set myself, of reading at least one non-course related book every month seems to have collapsed like a souffle around my mad schedule. Grapes of Wrath was the last book and if I am not wrong it has been more than a month I picked up another book. I need to get my mind in order to be able to handle more material.

So far school has been good to me with nothing but A's in all my classes. Ok ok, I am allowed to boast a little in my own blog :)
