While I love what i am studying...
...there are moments where i doubt the practicality of my degree. Sometimes i feel like i've made the wrong choice in life, and that i would've been better off doing a more standard degree, like engineering. Insinuations of doubt slither and worm their way into my mind, like "where am i going with this degree?" and "is my profession inferior to others" and "will i be able to get a good job". But today i just realised, i will play a very important role in this world. We (people of my profession) are doctors. Doctors for ecosystems. We identify and diagnose environmental problems, and we offer solutions to cure it. We are people who can save the environment. Medical graduates will save lives. We will save the world.

My tenant's cat and I have the BEST conversations
A typical conversation between her and I:
*Me chilling at my window*
*Tenants cat paddles across the driveway*
Me: MEOW! meow meow meowww meow?
She pauses, looks up at me: Dude i have no idea what the fuck you just said.
Me: meow meow meow meoww :3
Her: You're an idiot.
*rolls eyes and walks off*
Her black friend: You know that guy?
Her: Nope.
Me: meow...
*Me chilling at my window*
*Tenants cat paddles across the driveway*
Me: MEOW! meow meow meowww meow?
She pauses, looks up at me: Dude i have no idea what the fuck you just said.
Me: meow meow meow meoww :3
Her: You're an idiot.

Her: Nope.

DO NOT READ THIS POST
If you have not seen the finale of HIMYM season 7.
Warning: contains spoilers.
Sorry, but i really need to write about this.
Im still in shock, even though i knew who the bride was going to be.
So don't read this if you want to find out the answer for yourself.
Last chance to look away.
Better yet, go watch season 7 now.
Okay.
Don't say i didn't warn you.
WOW, what a finale. FINALLY some answers.....that only raises more questions than it solves, but that's besides the point. Two bombs dropped in the last episode that can be ranked a "10" on the crisis rating, and can have some serious implications.
1. Robin is revealed to be the bride at Barney's wedding. Which means that Barney's engagement to Quinn flopped. And that Robin and Ted probably won't end up together (yes im still rooting for those two). Its a shame really, i thought Barney and Quinn looked good together. They really suited each other.
2. Ted elopes with Victoria. Which means Clause gets left at the altar, and that Victoria could potentially be the mom. Personally, i don't think Victoria is the mom, for numerous reasons that i won't bother to go into details here. But it'd be a sweet notion if she was, seeing as Victoria was Ted's first girlfriend since the show started.
I seriously don't know what to think of this episode. The whole Barney-Robin-Quinn arc i could somewhat foresee, and my suspicions were confirmed at the point just before they showed Robin's face in the wedding dress (yes i recognised her boobs). But Ted and Victoria. Wow. That came as a shock to me. I can understand the rationale behind Ted choosing to elope with Victoria, as he is finally overcoming his fears and taking hold of fate and creating his own destiny by securing what he wants, but that's pretty selfish. He is partially responsible for another man being left at the altar, a feeling which he can empathise with and therefore he really should have shown better judgement. Although i am a romantic and he probably felt like she was truly the one and that if he let her go he'd probably regret it for the rest of his life but the reality is that things probably won't work out and he'll break her heart, again. Especially given everything thats happened on the show, personally i think its highly unlikely that she is the mother.
So yea, i'd just like to take this opportunity to say: WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?? Why are they all so fickle?? They keep changing their minds about each other, and everyone seems to be going in circles. Ted, Robin, Barney. The 3 of them just need to make up their fucking minds and stick with it. It feels like even Robin and Barney are still not set in stone, given the history of the show and an uncanny tendency of brides to get cold feet on their wedding day. I think Robin was right. Ted is only single because of his own making. What used to seem like romantic idealism to me is now just cowardice, naivety, fickleness, and insecurity. Ted just needs to man the fuck up and stick with one girl. Or risk dying alone.
Overall i think season 7 has been as good as any other season. It got off to a slow start but its really picked up in quality in the second half. I really like the character development of Barney and how much depth he's shown this season. I also like the addition of Quinn. I think she is one of the better female support characters. In terms of comedic entertainment, i still find alot of the episodes funny, and found myself laughing out loud on more than one occasion. What the show HAS lost in humour, i think its made up for it in depth and sentiment. Only things that kinda annoyed me were the sudden and somewhat unrealistic plot twists, but i guess that's what makes these shows so addictive. So yea, this post has somehow turned into a review and i probably lost all of my readers at the title (lol nice one bobby but you dont have any readers). But seriously, i think i haven't lost faith in HIMYM quite yet, and its still one of my all time favourite shows, alongside Community.
So yep, that's gonna be my closing statement. Bobby out.

The stars are beautiful tonight!
Its been a while since i've seen the stars and the moon shine so bright. Man, i really miss 2011. Despite everything that happened in that year, it was my favourite year. I think i was happiest then. I really miss those days, when everyone was together. Just one big happy family you know? Although it was brief, i really felt like i was a part of something. I felt like i truly found a group that i belonged to. It just felt so nice you know? Everyone was happy and everything felt so innocent and comfortable. I wish it could've lasted forever. I wish things didn't change. I wish people didn't drift apart. I wish break-ups were only something you saw in movies and conflicts were something that could be resolved simply by saying im sorry. Why did things have to change? Why did people have to break up? Why couldn't we resolve our differences? Why did i have to fuck things up? Why did we all drift apart, instead of becoming even more like family? Sigh, i wish things could go back to the way they were. I wish there wasn't this chasm that divided all of us. I wish things didn't have to change. Maybe im the only one that feels this way, but i really miss those times.

lol my tenants cat has finally warmed up to me
after about 6 months of avoiding me and being scared of me, i think she's finally accepted me. although she still seems to hold some reservations for me, we've found mutual comfort in each others presence. as i type this now, she's grooming herself right beside me. i think i can count that as a vote of confidence hehe. she's let me pet her before on one or two occasions, but this is the first time shes seemed so comfortable around me. i think she likes the scent of tobacco, cause my tenant smokes and she keeps smelling my fingers. or maybe shes finally succumbed to my alluring charm. whatever the reason, im just happy ive made a new friend.
the weathers amazing today. its a good day to be sitting outside on my front doorstep just enjoying the sun and the quiet company of this shy but cute feline. life is pretty hard, but right now, im just happy to enjoy the warmth and serenity of this moment. i think whatever happens, everything is going to work out in the end somehow. maybe it won't be the way i envisaged it to be, but it'll be the way its meant to be. yes i stole that line from online, but i really believe in it.
