Shifting priorities and leveling resources

Alex @ October 25, 2008 | | Money, Personal, Work | Comments (3)

This isn’t really a comeback from my blogging hiatus. I was just staring at this blog and felt sad about having just one post for the whole month of October so I decided to place another one to keep it company.

I am really at a crossroads yet again. The sem’s over and done with and, provided that I get a passing grade from my Semantics class, I am finally done with my coursework. I have to pass my proficiency exam in Spanish first before I proceed to writing my thesis. Realistically, I can finish it in a semester’s time if I choose to. But now, I’m compelled to put all my academic plans on hold.

I’m just nearing a quarter of a century old and yet I feel that I’ve got to start gambling or else I wouldn’t be able to experience life’s comforts. I took a look at my bank accounts and I have to admit, I have a long way to go before I rack up mu first million and quite honestly, being a millionaire with only a million pesos doesn’t really make you rich. That’s not even enough to buy you a decent car these days. I’m sick and tired of being lower middle class and I’d definitely want my future family to enjoy a bit of life’s comforts. Being a deprived kid makes you want those things.

End of sem blogging hiatus

Alex @ October 2, 2008 | | Personal, Site News | Comments (0)

It’s October and that spells the end of another semester in UP. That means I’ll be extremely busy writing my own term paper and preparing for an exam. In between doing work, that means less time for personal blogging. Such a shame just when I was getting my personal blogging rhythm back.

Anyway, that means I won’t be touching this thing for a good couple of weeks until I finish my supposedly last coursework subject for my Master’s and then I’ll be on to thesis writing by next semester. That is, if I don’t decide to take a put off thesis work for half-a-year to work on my bank account.

Exit strategies are always mucky.
