Nothing good lasts forever...But enjoy it while it is there!

There were a couple of things that were bothering me for the past few weeks. First there was my research in which I had a deadline to meet (the deadline was highly frayed due to a lot of extensions) and on top of that nothing was working properly. It was then that I realised why a PhD takes such a long time to complete. It is science after all and it is illegal for you to expect everything to go as you wish. It was in a way good also because I finally for sure, knew that Iam a very impatient person. (If I needed something, I had to have it immediately). So now that I know, I can work towards improving my levels of tolerance and patience because I need it badly over the next few years at least.

Secondly I had two midterms coming. And I had not started any serious studying till then. I mean serious, in comparison with the my last semester where I studied really hard. I believe strongly that you will only get something if you work for it. Luck and fluke have never worked for me. So naturally I was apprehensive about the exams.

But it was like a vent opening up yesterday. My exams went well and finally after a long and despairing wait something good happened to my experiments. I had never laughed from my heart for the past couple of weeks. But when I went back home yesterday I laughed. I had a much needed and long chat with my friends(we talk crap but it feels good to talk crap ;)). It was a really good atmosphere back home yesterday. I enjoyed every moment of it. I wanted it to go on forever.

I know nothing good lasts forever. But recharge your batteries while it is there, because you dont know when you will get the opportunity again to laugh again heartily.
