about: prologue
I have always wanted to change the world, in small ways - big ways - any way. Any good way to change the world and I will gladly settle for it. On my university applications, I solemnly informed the admissions officers of my aspirations for some kind of challenge and change and how passionate I was about everything I said I would do. They may not have believed it, but at least I spilled out to the world in some way just how much I cared. And I believe that I act because I care. I commit myself because I care. I run around with wild hair in a frenzy cursing about being behind the day’s schedule - because I care.

This blog dates back into my high school day, and started as a drafting ground for an essay I had been attempting to write. Of course, that long-winded essay has now lost itself to the wind, and I have moved from writing on research seminars to philosophical issues to… just life. Just life. What else could be more exciting to talk about save life itself?
