So I thought my supervisor is going to be telling me to think about the equations more to see which one makes more sense, but apparently he was very impressed with my interpretation of the equation and said I can play with Matlab instead for this week and I can finally read papers and stuff after that! I was almost in shock after that meeting. I'm actually doing something.
I haven't heard from a friend of mine for quite a while. And yesterday he replied my email saying he's been sick and waiting for more blood test in November. Sometimes I just don't quite know how to reply that. I mean, "I'm sure you'll be fine" doesn't quite cover it does it? He doesn't look all that sick last I saw him. But for him to not be online for this long (and you know us engineers with being online), I'm seriously worried. He's always been a bit morbid, so it's hard to tell whether he's being serious when he says he's dying (of course he always pointed out everyone of us has been slowly dying from the day we're born). Sometimes people think we're still too young to think about death. But then again, it's one of very few thigns that you can be certain of. Just to ignore it isn't making it to go away.
I sometimes suffer from the curse of being way too logical and "scientific", while trying to be at the same time spiritual. I beleive each of us has a soul and one day we'll arrive in heaven. Whether it's just a state of being or a real "place" where soul rests. I believe that you'll meet up with everyone you love in heaven again. Then of course I start to think where is this "soul" coming from? We know our thoughts, memories, and emotions are just electrical signals in that brain of ours, well give of take some chemical and all. How does that translate to a soul? Will we still have our memories when our souls depart?
Thoughts like that can go a lot deeper. And I suppose I probably should stop that sorta thought right now, and grab myself some food. Still haven't had breakie, and I want to come back home in time for Dr Phil. :P
