temporary return to life

a friend of mine(u know who u are) recently reminded me of this blog so im back to update.had the normal life of a JC student,namely sleeping, slacking and copying homework...i really am quite a lazy person...
the block tests were earlier last month and i finished it with minor psychological damage. grades were typical: U,S,S and E...i managed to collect the whole of the bottom of the grade spectrum.
i attended a wake some time ago for a friends sister. the event let me realize that one of the most binding forces between human beings is death. you can barely know somewhere and have never met his sister but somehow, u can feel the grief and sadness of her passing.it rained that day and i sometimes think that even the sky was grieving,not just for her,but for all that have passed on,and that each rain drop that fell from the sky is in memory of wach individual life that has left this earth since time immortal.
my brain also somehow made a link between several disparate thoughts leading me to a question: Why are we studying so hard?our time on this earth is limited with a very short limit at that. we are barely more that an imprint on the surface of the earth which weathers away in time. whats more, when don't know when that hourglass will run out and we leave this earth. yet we plan for the future,saying after this-and-that i'll do something-or-other when in fact we don't know whether there will be a tomorrow for us,much less a year. and if we left this earth now,what have we to show for our time spent?studies?grades?what dreams have we accomplished?what bonds have we formed?what can we do that we call look back with satisfaction?i know that i won't say studies to the latter.
i suppose that im thinking too much,too much morbid stuff specifically...but the thought remains:if u die tomorrow,can u look back on today and be happy with how you spent your time?
