Q: Shed some light!

I had a long conversation with a senior from high school. Talk about being caught off guard via Skype when she added me. I must admit this; I had not been engaged in a talk with her for a good six years I believe. Her display picture happened to be feline as well, just that there was like a clowder of them. So as random as it gets, I figured to be a good sport and entertained her video call. The first ten minutes had to be an exchange of “hello” and “can you hear/see me”, which is typically what happens when you’re crossing US and Msian internet lines together.  I digress.

ElaineL felt the need to advice about grad school, time management and life in between all that good stuff. “Be a person of decision than of velleity. Stick to your guns. When people seek for you, give them some of your time. Don’t wait till the well runs dry on your village to be freaking about what went wrong. It’ll be too late. There’s more to life than academics alone.” I’ve probably heard these things once too many in my entire living years but to hear it from Elaine made quite an impact on my overall experience of understanding these wise words.  

Here’s a post to thank you, Elaine for your time and advices.
How pleasant, a letter from Liripoop! The day just keeps getting better!
