A Dash of Nostalgia, a Dollop of Yearning

I was searching on LinkedIn for some Korean Internet advertising experts as part of my work, and I came across someone who completed his Comms Masters and PhD in MSU.

My immediate reaction is a mixed bag of feelings - regret, yearning, envy, uncertainty, nostalgia. As much as I've made a decision to stay put where I am (for now), my thoughts inevitably drift to that dream I had invested so much in and had so much anticipation for. If anything, I miss the certainty and clear sense of purpose that going to grad school had given me.

"I could have been there at this very moment."

P.s. I have been sticking by my New Year health resolutions with jogs last Sunday and yesterday. With the breezy weather, the task has actually been quite bearable. The sense of accomplishment is also a big deal for an exercise-hater like me.
