I got up early today. My eye feels a little weird but I am good. I will try to get some work done. I really want to continue working on the President's College projects (these are personal projects - they were not requested or on behalf of the school).
I did not mention before that only two students from Watooka Day School made it to President's College. I knew the other person well. There were also other students from Linden that year. We were all dark.
I mentioned that there were two Seons in my UG economics class. I also remember that:
- There were four Simones in my batch/year at President's College - Simone W. (we had the same pastorial father), Simone Y., Simone J. (she did Woodwork when few signed up), and Simone B.
- There was Seeta and Preeta. I liked Seeta's drop curls. Preeta once wrote me my name in Hindi. I never asked Preeta whether she sucked her thumb as a child. I assumed she did - just like I did.
I should probably think of the likelihood of these events (reminds me of statistics, specifically probability).
Another idea: An essay that may open doors, lead to funding...
I will work on this. I work hard for my money.
I saw the doctor yesterday. I am happy things worked out. I am back to normal (no longer in a stressful situation - dealing with a lot but at ease and healing).
I saw a photo from yesterday and marveled at the message. Think jumbled head.
I found an old textbook yesterday. It reminded me of my master's program at UMBC. I especially remember that I prepared a paper on the furniture industry for my Electronic Commerce course. I discovered that the industry is fiercely competitive. I remember furniture businesses were closing all around Maryland. Years after, I wrote a signature assignment on IKEA, a dominant player in the US furniture industry.
Back then, I preferred the physical books. I did not use/purchase a single electronic textbook during my program.
It looks like I will not make the appointment I have today. I am upset because it took a while to get the appointment. I also need to go the laboratory for blood work. Please help me God.
I thought of another weird coincidence from my days in UG Economics. I was happy that two colleagues from President's College were in the program (Diahanne and Kevin). Diahanne was from my batch. She did not complete A Levels at President's College. Therefore, she left the institution years before I did (I was an A Level student from 1991 to 1993). It is interesting that our first names look complicated, have 'h' as well as doubles. RIP Diahanne.
I also remember Seon Phaul from UG Economics. There were two Seons in the class - a female and a male. That was interesting. Thank you to the people who assisted me in some way (a place to stay or in some other way).
To Paul Tripp (https://www.paultripp.com/articles/posts/6-types-of-grace), grace is the most beautiful word in the universe and one of the most overused words in the church. God's grace is important. "You need it. You can’t live without it, but you can’t purchase it and you can’t earn it. It only ever comes by means of a gift, and when you receive it, you immediately realize how much you needed it all along, and you wonder how you could’ve lived so long without it." It is clear God decides when to extend grace and grace is a gift from God.
