Empty Cup

Something happened with me these days... Anyway, a weird thing happened to me today. I decided to google my own name. I was just messing around on the computer, avoiding a routine that I should prepare for my work. I started with my full name and received only boring, work-related results, as well as the results for some other people who happens to share my names. This is when things became interesting this evening. As a lecturer you always find yourself wondering if you've ever truly mattered, if you've ever truly "reached" a student. Tonight, through the wonders of Google, I have my answer.

Anyway, I should get to my point. So, I was googling my name and I stumbled upon my name mentioned in a blog written by myself or any other stupid journal when I was young *tsk*. Of course I was curious, so I clicked the link. I discovered, to my surprise, that the particular post that mentioned my name referenced this particular press stuff and the positive memories some of my friends have of it. After all of the fun and inspiration and general mix of feelings involved in my first foray into lecturing, indeed it was worthwhile to someone else besides me, my mum especially. I wonder how many more blogs of former students I'll stumble upon before my career is over-- I hope it's many more!
