march 3, 11:47 blog entry :)

I met an Israeli man today. I was sitting in Figaro trying to formulate questions for my semi-final exam. (pause for evil laugh) He was sitting at the table next to mine and we shared the sentiment of "When the heck is the wifi gonna come on?" He was a well-upholstered (i was looking for another word for fat and "well-upholstered" popped up and i thought, "huh, that's a fun word") man who had a thick accent and an infectious laugh. Turns out he holds free seminars to college students and business establishments about a certain software--or something like that, i dunno. My mind wandered off after i heard the word "Accounting/CPA." My mind does that a lot. Specially around people whose interests don't interest me. I'm not a good person to hang out with. Unless you like music and/or Jesus because i like both things--to different degrees of course.

After the 15th, he's off to give a talk to graduating Xavier Accounting students. He says he brings a bag of chocolates too. So at that point i was just about ready to ask him if he really was Santa Claus in the clever disguise of a beardless, dorky, pasty, middle-aged businessman with a laptop and a knack for talking to strange (but very cool) women who wear sneakers with their dresses (me). 

We talked about how there was a prevailing attitude of incompetence in CDO (and the world in general). He seemed like an important person who knew what he was talking about. And i felt privileged to have sat next to a successful man. So i had to take a quick break from all the fun of making a deliciously difficult exam to make this quick blog entry. 

It's nearing the end of my contract as an IPC instructor. And i am a little sad. Teaching has provided a means for me to influence the younger generation and i'm almost done. I'm not sure that my influence has done very much good in their lives, really. I mean, how much good influence can someone who doesn't iron her own clothes have on a teenager? In my defense, no-ironing = saving energy. So there you go, i really do it (or don't do it) to help the planet ;)

I'm gonna have a few more months to spend here before i fly off in July. And as of the moment, i have made no plans on how to spend that time. I live my life like that. If you asked me the proverbial question "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" i would be like, "I really have no idea." And i don't see that as a problem. I'm not in a quest for anything really. Fame and popularity don't appeal to me and neither does wealth or beauty. My life belongs to GOD and He will do with it whatever He pleases. If at the end of the day, i have peace, i'm good :) But now i have to make a break for the bathroom. Because i just had coffee. And coffee makes me go number 2. Have a great day and thanks for making this blog worthwhile.
