no regrets. i can tell you honestly that i am happy where i am, that i love what i do, and that even if i'm not the best at it, even though i have fears of not measuring up, i am not interested in giving up. i'm excited by what i see, hear and learn. i enjoy listening to my friends tell me their research ideas, the questions they want to pursue. sometimes i sound silly, and sometimes perhaps i don't make much sense, but where i am, i feel has given me the flexibility to develop my own thoughts and to humbly accept when i'm wrong.

maybe its the program, maybe its the people leading the program, maybe its my peers, but i've seen lessons in many facets of life, and they impress me greatly.

i'm walking with my eyes shining, i'm looking forward to each day. maybe i don't sympathize well sometimes because my experience has been so different. but truly, i feel there is so much out there to look forward to; i am stretched constantly- mentally, intellectually, maybe physically in terms of waistline as well.... but also i've found that i'm in good company. and they teach me more than just economics, its life's lessons, how to have grace, how to have patience, how to be kind. every day i feel like i'm growing and hopefully i'm becoming a better person.

i do love this life

Haha I'm not sure if I am on the same tangent here, but I kinda know what you mean - which is one of the reasons behind me walking away - far away - from my former job. Its something that I would never be good at or want to do, or even relate to the people doing it; hence the poor relationship that I have built with it.

Well, at the end of the day it (the job) was a means to an ends, and its given me the spring board to the next step. So while a plan is in place....lets see where things go from here.

Cheers, never ever stop learning and you'll journey too:)
