Looking back, looking at myself , looking at my writing

My VR (virtual reality) , class is something that i am supposed to be paying attention in.However , since most virtual reality classes end up being presentations, done by my classmates , my mind has the tendency to digress.One of the major prop (read awesome !) about the VR class though is that we get to discuss graphics , and most of the graphics that recently enrolled grad students know about it Games ! The presentation covered everything from the latest final fantasy game to the good ol days of the game "Crash : Bandikoot". It was definitely a good memory since i kind of realized that i was really rooted to computer science from an early age.However i had always shied away from it , more so due to the fact that i found coding insanely hectic to be sitting in a place and writing something that did not make too much sense in the beginning.It was more of a churn than anything else for me.Now that i look back , i do not regret much for playing so many games as a kid.I definitely intend to turn this hobby of mine into a skill that i might be able to develop in a long run, that can help me create something better may be.The climb is pretty hard , in terms of its technical demands , but then its something that i am going to have to churn out.

At around the same time of my school life , i was also a self proclaimed "biologist". Thanks to a lot good stuff that my dad had around my house , i was pretty much good at telling a platypus from a duck , and a cappybara from a mouse , by the time i was 12 or 13. Though i feel that one of the major mistakes that i had made going to college and doing computer science , was in ignoring my interests in biology, i kind of realize that i was just the same back then. I had multiple interests , and i was never really good at choosing what i wanted , and for sure i still need to work on it.
Talking about work , another couple of things that need work are my skills at getting organised , and pulling it together in terms of concentrating on my tasks.I am pretty sure that a lot of people face this problem as well.However there was no reason for me to break out of this very popular mode until i realized that i needed as much time as possible so that i could work on things that i liked , and possibly do more than most people think or judge the popular time-frame for doing things are.I am glad that i am thinking about this , not so that i can be more successful or making more money, but because i want to do some things that are interesting , but yet at the same time , time consuming. And yeah , my hair needs some work as well. And so does my living room.Its a mess now.

I have never been a big fan of editing what i write. I believe that it needs to be spontaneous.I kind of had to take a backstep from this theory after a class that i attended today, conducted by one of the professors at the University.I do realize that i might have to start paying serious attention to any piece of writing unless its my under-read , overly narcissistic blog , which is exactly what i intend it to be anyway :D .
