When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is how it is and you've got to grow up with it. Once you realize that the world around you has been built by people no smarter than you are, you become a different person. 
(Steve Jobs)

Inspiration for tonight is Steve Jobs 'cos yesterday I watched a video with him making a ~20 second guest appearance saying what I typed above. And then SJ went on to say that we should want to make positive changes around us.
I feel quite bored with my life. Everything seems a bit too stagnant... I'm going to start breeding Aedes mosquitoes soon.
I've been sleeping a lot. About 10-11 hours a day. While I really like to sleep, it feels like each day, a bit of my brain is losing its function. :/
I kind of miss work. (Strange, I didn't really enjoy the extremely slow business when I was actually doing it.) At least it kept my brain slightly more active? Quite annoyed at my CIP 'cos they told us to sign up for slots on different days. So I signed up for all, which left me no space for work, so I told the boss I can't work in July (which pissed him off). And now the CIP tells us that 'hey, there are too many people, we'll try to make sure you go for at least one slot. We'll tell you one week before whether you're going or not.' What? Responsible planning much.
Anyway if I were to re-evaluate my life I don't think CIP or work would feature very high on my to-do list. So, meh.
I'm glad I'm still in my CCA. So, CCA features in the #1 category in my to-do list. Sometimes I look back on the times I had some sian thoughts about it, and I see that I've changed a bit. A bit. Other things in my #1 category would be studying. Of course.
I don't know what I'm doing these days that is meaningful. Besides CCA. And family time. What could I do?
And over here my brain finds that it can't respond.
I guess reading would be good.
The Voice UK has ended its 2nd season, Suits hasn't started, and I'm not as obsessed with Pentatonix as I was last week (I still really like them though).
Okay I still have my books.
Also I re-discovered that I have iTunes U on my phone so I downloaded some stuff to read. SJ's quote came from something I downloaded from there.

A lot of people think that they'll study hard, get a decent job, and then save some money and start a family. That's a really constrained life. Life could be so much more. 
- SJ (again)
Yeah I'm gonna have fun after I graduate from university (and during university too).
I need to ... do some research about how to have fun. It's time to poke my head out of the bubble.
