Harmonization

Some of my course mates are juggling in between part time jobs which comes with it walking for 3 miles under the rain, knocking on a stranger’s door and asking for charity under the economic situation that they are experiencing now……….well i bid them luck. Well I wonder what motivates one to work besides the obvious money chase. Experience perhaps? Is that something we tell ourselves everyday? That we are trading our precious time for jobs that are supposedly enriching. Well the definition of enriching here is open for debate. Are we truly being paid enough for our time? Are we getting enough experience as opposed to the experience that we can obtain by having free time to ‘explore’. Nobody can justify your action. This in economic terms I believe is called the opportunity cost. Well I have no idea why I decided to write this post. I am wondering if I should work myself. One year in UK….should I fill it with work? Not to mention I will have to work for the next half of my life so why rush it? Enjoy the moment I have right here? But I dont have much money to spare….so it seems to be an oxymoron. I want to have fun but i dont have the money to. But what the hell, the main purpose I am here is to study, there is no denying that but come to think of it this is a one in a lifetime experience in the UK and god knows if i would come again to visit….so it doesn’t sound right that if i fill it with some mundane studying and suffocating myself in the room doesn’t sound like a good prospect to me. Hah well, I guess time shall tell me the right flow to follow.
