Friendship Day....some thoughts

It is a nice feeling to have friends, and feeling more like a normal person, really.
I felt like making a mental list of all pple I've known through my classes, just to sorta commemorate them.....but realized it is too big even for a person like me who don't actually know *that* many people, and maybe a little pointless too.....most of them we have had too little contact in the long run which makes calling them friends now a little insincere on my part.

Maybe I should just talk about something general.

Taking those 'outside' classes, particular translation, have fringe benefits, in allowing me to harness aspects of myself that I've never knew , e.g. with regard to social engineering. Given the right context and situation, I can actually socialize pretty well. But the situation is very different back home when the work has little bearing on life, which makes blending work and life that much harder, and usually I'll tend to indulge in one to the abandonment of the other. Discipline, is what I need.

I'm just thankful for not getting a certain card this year :)

Friendships are easy to gain but harder to maintain. It takes destiny and initiative to maintain one. The quantity does not really matters, but the quality does.

In my case, I really have to have to work hard in finding a right friend and maintaining it well.
