Hungry vs. Dissatisfied.

Sarah Lee sent a mass email including this portion of Emanna (emanna.com if anyone is curious)

"How are you doing?" asks Sheri at our not so weekly appointments.
"How am I doing? I don't know. That's a good question.." I reply.

!!!!!!! Currently, I think I am not so much hungry as I am just dissatisfied.. uh.. that wasn't that positive. Lately I've been nostalgic for a different kind of culture, to be absolutely vague. Meaning that I am dissatisfied. Yet at the same time, I can not say that I have an appetite. All I have is a sweet-tooth. Random thought: sitting in Econ discussion makes me wonder why I chose my major so quickly. They said high school was hard. I think I'd like to argue that as one grows, life gets harder. Wow, optimistic or what? :D There's something unnerving about this bridge in time that is being created as I go through my college years. Where am I going? Everywhere around me, it seems that people have it somewhat figured out. And I guess I have that facade too.. Often I am not open to change because of sunk costs and because of risk aversion. The latter more reasonable than the former, but the former probably being the main driving force ..

Back to the original reason why I opened up Blogger:
