This is it: my last semester at MIT. I am excited about the life and opportunities that await me after my graduation in Feburary. While I am excited about my post-graduation life, so far I have been a little nonchalant about the Fall semester, which started last week. I have always been super enthusiastic at the beginning of a semester - catching up with friends, meeting new people, taking new classes, and being involved with campus acitivities. Not this semester though. I am still engaging with many of the acitivies albeit at reduced intensity and participation. Since returning back from my three week long vacation, I have not only attained substantial zen but focus, which is exactly want I need this semester. In the past, I have been known to do too many things once. Since school started I have been channeling all my energy into completing my thesis. This is good thing as it means that I can be sure that my thesis can be completed on time.

As far I remember, I have been a perpetual nightbird all my life. I thought that I would have recovered from jetlag last week; but I have been waking up before 6am everyday since returing from vacation. We'll see how long this last. I am still not convinced that I am a fully converted morning person now. Other newly acquired habits as a result of my vacation includes the sudden propensity of wearing casual business attire to school and the desire to keep my apartment neat and tidy.

So on top being fully rested and feeling relaxed, I am now more focused and organized in my life. It's certainly fascinating what vacation can do to one's well-being.
