It’s really no hidden matter that this post is super overdue.. Yes, this is my stand against this turning into another blog with unfinished business haunting the blogosphere. So you and me, reader, deserve a catchup.
(If you’ve just stumbled here and we’ve had no previous acquaintance, I guess we’ve no beef then. Hi, by the way.)
A few things about me, where I’ve been, where I’d like to go.. maybe...:
My blog-abandonment days were in my last semester doing my undergrad, so it’s been an interesting ride since then. With the ups and downs of whatever a young 23 year old can pretend is ‘life’ - loves, losses, the whole deal (twice, if I may)- came through the fired up scholar/designer that graduated, took a flight across the Atlantic to her new life in New York City, and pretty much hasn’t looked back since then.
.. Or at least I can pretend I was that sure of myself. Moving to a new city and getting upgraded to “Graduate Student” status is no joke my friends, but definitely worth the tears and electric-chainsaw-grabbing-wannabe moments.
I came over here with this holier than thou mission to finish up here and return as this unspoken ambassador for green design and eco-preneurship back to Dubai. Coming here, sustainability and environmental practices are pretty much jeered at as pretentious and overdone as Thesis (plural usage intended) in the grad student planet of academia. Fortunately, I have the excuse of being a foreigner from a country that takes a capitalist piss on the environment in most cases that I’m kind of eligible as the exception.
I’m definitely more open to new frontiers in my mission to actually make something of myself, like I kind of owe it to my childhood self in some obnoxiously egoistic way. Mainly as I grew up with the confidence that i’ll be such a hotshot and save the world. Maybe I will.. word is you start with saving a cheerleader somewhere.
Stumble It!
