What is normal?
I think i came to Cal thinking about this question. Back in hs, i kno i wasnt' normal because of my background. Thus i expected people's "awe" upon finding out that i was able to handle 5 AP classes even when i've only lived in the US for a year or so. Here in college, i kno i am not as normal either because of my background still. Same reason. Same expectations. and maybe some weird habits i have make me not so normal too... hahah but that's not the point. The point is, I think i've gotten used to praises so much that i've become looking forward to it. Addicted to it.
The message today really got me as it make me reflect upon my lazy self. I often don't want help others outside of my confort zone. Or more, i think i've been trying to avoid "obligations", tone down what's going on around me so that i can keep my head, keep my nerves, keep myself calm so that i can concentrate on what i should be focusing on - studies. But is it really so?
