princeton

as i perambulated on the charming morning campus of princeton at 6am, the chirp cool air filled me with a renewed vigor and it seemed to subtly diffuse out the negativity "chi" that has accumulated in me as the semester goes on, just as how chaos would develop in an unmonitered system. and today, i could feel my inner self getting more aligned and oriented to the state before chaos. and at the same time a part of me was happy that finally i woke up, and not slept, at 6 am.

This trip is a short but necessary trip to bring myself out of the bubble of wesleyan to see the world as it is. it's like a quiet get-away to a faraway land. and as always, it's lovely to meet back good old friends, in person or via skype =) The overly short stay at princeton greatly limits the possibility of me grasping the beauty of princeton at its fullness. nonetheless, after the visit i feel more intellectual and more focused. this semester i haven't been mindful, and i haven't been living life as balancedly and meaningfully as i had wished. nonetheless, it's been exciting, on-the-edge and full on my every aspect of my life other than the academic.


on a final note,
thanks miss R for hosting me =) will find you again when both of us are more awake.
