Back to Europe?

3:30pm, sunny Sunday afternoon... i'm stuck here in a local coffee shop sipping my large ice tea... working out equations on digital signal filters. Drowning in a world full of sine and cosine...

As much as I'm trying to concentrate on finishing this take home final for my UCLA class, my mind kept drifting off into the cyberspace. I have this insatiable desire to learn new things, anything, from engineering to neural surgery to new sports to skydiving to playing instruments to fixing up my house to people to knitting... um.. ok, maybe not knitting... I've gone a bit too far. But you get the idea. I'm addicted to learning. But I hate to be stuck indoors. Like now. I wanna be out there surfing... I keep telling myself to stop taking on so much, but next thing you know, I'm checking out course catalogs, MBA/PhD programs, learning how to edit a film, and picking up new hobbies... I must be slightly masochistic. Well... I just get bored easily and need to be constantly involved in new projects.

On a happier note, I'm itching to go back to Europe. Really want to just pick up my backpack and roam around Europe again. Ah... happy memories... Maybe I'll go back end of this year. Airfare should be cheaper then, and it'll be easier to book trains. Just me and my journal, exploring the streets of the old world...

Oh, look at that, my ice tea's all gone. That's my cue to get a refill and get back to my work.
