"Some die young, as some live long lives. This is decided by fate. Therefore, one's duty consists of cultivating one's mind during this mortal span and thereby establishing one's destiny.
I found this quote on wikipedia.com while looking for information on Ritsumeikan. The first sections talks about how Ritsumeikan got it's name and this quote by Mencius, a Chinese philosopher. In short, Ritsumeikan means "place to establish ones destiny". As corny as it may sound, I'm taking this phrase to heart and I only feel more encouraged that Ritsumeikan University is the right place for me to go next fall if I get accepted. Hmm...a thought just occured to me but I think I'll keep it to myself =D
In the past 24 hours I learned a few things...
1. Never take a nap late in the day. It just completely messes up your sleep schedule =p
2. Don't get sucked in by procrastination, laziness, or a 24/7 computer lab!
3. Don't take caffeine pills PLUS coffee WITH espresso. It just never ends well and it's a good couple of hours until most of the nausea and pain wears off.
That's what I learned...although I swear I learned this lesson several months ago and most of these things are just common sense. My plan tonight is to do A LOT better even though sadly, I'm in the computer lab (again) and it's after midnight and I haven't really done enough work to feel satisfied with allowing myself sleep (again). I will hopefully be allowed to celebrate with everyone though after everything is said and done! I hope...
Good luck to everyone who is going to be in the BC all night studying or writing papers or compositions in other languages. I'm going home to be productive (and watch Sailor Moon, courtesy of Andy!)
P.S. I promise to get your Sailor Moon set back to you Andy! I'm through the first 4 dvds and I'm sure that I can finish the rest before the weekend is done. Get some sleep!
