The past/current fashion on blogs is to write elliptically, mysteriously and cleverly. This forces the reader to attempt to read between the lines Eg. Why is the name of the blog "Broccoli Sprouts"? What is the metaphorical meaning of this highly superlative name.
Yeah, well that's not my talent. I guess all I can do is relate what has happened to me, and what I can see from it. I hate self-deprecation as well, as all it indicates is a more subtle form of arrogance. So I won't do it. As Sherlock Holmes would say, "I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to underestimate one's self is as much a departure from truth as to exaggerate one's own powers."
One thing I shouldn't be underestimate is my revision for final exams. Somehow this semester I haven't really gotten into full swing-(or maybe I always feel like that, and I never really have gotten into full swing?) but partly this is due to the fact that my time is frittered away on inanities.
Someday, I will transform lead into gold.
