Idiosyncrasy

What do you think is a better reason to feel like a fool ?

The revelation that you can not read Chinese for the obvious fact of being born and brought up in its slightly neighboring country called India.

OR 

The other revelation that you wasted time.

First one sounds so much better. Plus I feel like its not my fault, to be brought up in a different country.

So another credit in my PhD program to blame things on others and in turn safeguard myself.

I had loaned 2 research papers from the library sharing facility. 

I waited 2 days for them to give me access to those papers. 

When I got a confirmation mail from them, I excitedly accessed the links.

And wow !! What I find out is, the papers are written in complete Chinese script. Agreed I knew that those papers were from a Chinese university, but I forgot the subtle possibility of them being in actual Chinese. I laughed so hard when I saw those papers. I almost thought of taking them to my professor, for better understanding !! 

Alright it was a joke. I am not going to do that!

So anyways I am kind of where I was, the beginning or nowhere may be.

To spice things up a little, our tuition fees have been increased. Like this is the only thing we wanted. This weirdo recession, I hate it. I don't even understand how and why things are like this, economically. But I still hate it. I think it's ok to blame some things which are out of your control, sometimes. Like the snow, the wind, the slow Internet speed, day light saving !! :)

It makes one feel lighter :)
