Spring Quarter 2009

This follows Tony's post.
I have come to a conclusion that one does not need to put in much effort to be average at UChicago, but it takes quite a bit of effort to be good and a lot of work to be great. After two quarters of average grades, I discovered that mediocrity does not work for me. I will raise my academic standards and set goals; anything lower than an A- is considered failure. Though there are a lot of people who are smarter than me, I must at least put in some effort so that I do not get left in the dust. Start strong, finish strong. This is do or die, this is UChicago.

The Sun Does Indeed Rise in the East

Although this has been several weeks past due, I still feel the need to express this.

As some of you have known (ToTo), my eyes were opened on the day of March 6th, 2009 at approximately 5:45PM. The lengthy and arduous winter quarter had instilled in me a sense of false beauty and fallen hopes, but that changed when I encountered a goddess. To put it in simple words, I saw a girl who could make fish forget to swim, birds fall from the sky, the moon shy away in embarrassment, and the most beautiful flowers lose their pedals in shame. She was indeed the epitome of beauty. The first thing that I noticed about her were her eyes, which is the first thing I take notice when I meet someone, because a person's eyes is the window to their soul. Secondly I noticed her short black hair cupping her perfect face, as she walked by. Nevertheless, before me was a confident, yet reserved female. Our eyes met as she got off her train, and the chilly breeze that blew was no more as I was filled with fiery passions. Unfortunately, our encounter was cut short by the arrival of my train. After an exchange of glances, I had to depart despite wanting to stay.

But this encounter brought back hope, and for those guys reading this, I guarantee you there still exists beauty at UChicago and in Hyde Park. Although it may seem that all hope is loss (as I had lost but a minor fragment of hope), I realized that regardless of the situation, one should make the best out of it, and most importantly look on the bright side and have hope. As my hopes were dwindling and thoughts misconstruing, I was reconfirmed by her that the sun does indeed rise in the East.

Winter's Notes

Despite the misery, lassitude, and the sheer coldness that winter brings, it is also a time for one to reevaluate one's goals, passions, and commitments and is also the time for one to look back on recollections of the following year.

There has been highs and lows, goods and bads, this quarter. The highlight of winter is the day I crossed that line. Although I would not say it was the best feeling ever, it sure made me feel as I was on top of the world. But I began to apprehend that it may not have been all that its worked up to be. Maybe I was disillusioned by the mere image, nevertheless I had my doubts.

From this experience and others, I learned that people are superficial and that life itself is based on a foundation of dwindling morals and erring natures. As a friend of mine would say, "These peoples! What is is wrong with this world?" As time passed, I thought this more and more, but the sheer thought of believing that the entirety of our world and society has collapsed is hard to grasp. But after endless debate and constant inquiry, I reached the conclusion that "the majority does not represent the individual". That is to say that the majority's actions should not reflect the individual, because I truly believe there are still remnants of good out there in this world. As long as there is vice, there must exist virtue; as "evils" continue to grow, the beneficence of those "virtuous" individuals will be remembered, and hopefully invoke change.

For those who might question the veracity of my comment and my character, I assure you that I am not perfect, and I too have fallen to "temptations". But that is not to say that one can change for the better.

I apologize for the length of this post, but this is the conclusion I have reached during the three months of winter. As we begin to see the blossoming of buds, the return of life, and the coming of spring, we should take some time to recollect our past experiences and to contemplate about our futures.
