I recently finished up my Coursera course and am in the process of waiting for it to be graded by someone from ASU. This also means that I'm not as busy as I used to be and need to fill my time with productive things again.
Sigh. Another 3 more months of this (or more, depending on how long it takes me to secure a job in Malaysia). I hope I can stay sane and not waste my time on trivial pursuits. It's hard to refrain from judging myself on the days I spend hours reading some book or engaging in a hobby. =P
And there are also those days where I feel like I haven't talked to people in a while and I should, but I don't WANT to, you know? Today is one of those days. Maybe it's just a mood that will pass, but while I'm waiting for it to pass, I should also do something meaningful with my time. Like watch some Tim Keller videos or something. =P
It's funny how I can have a super productive morning and yet still feel like I'm wasting my time if I have a few spare hours at night with nothing planned. And on those days where I don't have a spare hour, I feel drained and need to take the next day off. It's like there's no pleasing myself. =P
It hasn't been too bad, though. Looking back, I can't say that I've wasted my time here because I've invested in relationships, learnt so many new things, read so many books and engaged in different activities. I remember seasons of dreariness, but even in those seasons, God was always present and I don't remember feeling like anything really went to waste. I also wonder how these few years have shaped and changed me as a person - sometimes you need feedback from others because you're your own harshest and least objective critic.
Can't believe it's March already. Time just flies.
