Haikus of my life -- I know you want to read them -- I hope you enjoy!

writing a blogpost
ideas are hard to find
I can't think of one

used to be a poet
went to'a university
then I got a life

life is int'resting
sometimes fast-paced, sometimes slow
but always worth it

life can be trying
but to live is happiness
keep your sight on God

school is tiring
research meetings in the morn
nothing to report...

had quite a long day
now I don't make any sense
same as everyday

early wake up call
much work to do tomorrow
I should go to bed

will I or won't I?
tired -- do I have a choice?
goodnight, friends of mine.

A little of this and a little of that

Here are a few things that bother me, all of which have re-manifested themselves to me today:

1. People who have no respect for other people's belongings and pick them up, handle them, leave them lying around, etc.
2. (This is a new one) People who expect you to talk to them all the time but who never initiate conversation themselves, or they never ask follow-up questions or keep the conversation going. This is especially bad if you are around someone like this a lot.
3. People who purposely add lots of vibrato to their voices to make them sound "better" or more mature, when really they just sound fake.
4. People who take it upon themselves to "check up" on others, to make sure the others are doing what they think the others should be doing.
5. People who look down on others who don't follow a standard that they think the others should keep.

On the other hand, here are a few things that I am grateful for, related to the above:

1. People who always ask before touching other people's belongings, and who take good care of them when they borrow them.
2. People who know how to keep a conversation going and who are genuinely interested in what you have to say, and who remember the previous conversation the next time you talk.
3. People who have naturally beautiful mature voices and sing often, or on the other hand, people who don't have the greatest voices and know it, and they don't make the rest of us suffer.
4. People who let others over which they have no jurisdiction do their own thing, and don't correct them.
5. People who don't hold you to their standards and respect that you have the agency to choose what you will and will not do, and they don't judge you for it.
