Of tsunami's: small and large

Well there I was, going off to school to wait fruitlessly for my turn in the validation of my cases and oral revalida's; whining endlessly about them while the rest of the world struggled to find composure amidst threats of a tsunami and the earthquake in Japan. I am on my way to graduation and yet I still feel that I am not prepared to face the rest of the world. I am cocooned here in the safe corners of my room and the only problem I have is the revalida and the validation. These things seem like a huge deal for me right now because my world revolves around the four walls of the school. Outside those walls, the world seems like such a far away place; this is my reality, what I see on the news is the far-far away place. Days like these feels like the worst days ever but looking at the rest of the world, some scared and anxious people who fear for their safety against the forces of nature, my life's problems are insignificant. They may cause a lot of grumbling but my troubles have simple solutions. For someone so self absorbed and neurotic as I am, it takes a problem as huge as an imminent tsunami threat to view things as they should be. I must not make mountains out of molehills, there is still time for me to take control of those issues and I can solve them at my own pace. I only need to take deep calming breaths and be patient. The rest of the world's troubles are far greater and lives are at stake. I hope for the world's safety.

Studying?! Bah Humbug!

I say whatever to everything. I do not want to study. I have not read/browsed/studied anything related to my course right now. This is pure primal laziness. Or just plain disinterest. I seriously want to just dump everything, grab a bag, get a visa, get a passport and fly to Europe and work at any job and then make something of myself. I hate being here, like I'm stuck in mud.
