if (InSearchOfGreaterGood == LesserOfTwoEvils)

Monday, October 18, 2004

It has been like 2 full years now and I am still pursuing a Computer Science degree. A BSCS to be exact. Sure, it seems like after 2 years, I should only have 2 years left. Yeah, right!! That would be great. Try about 4 or 5 or somewhere under 10. And then pursuing my Master's? Can you say "Hello old age"?

It is just that taking 2 classes a semester, working full time, participating in the positive mental, physical and spiritual growth of my children, playing catch up around the house on the weekends and finding time to breath can really fill up a week.

Anyway, every semester I reach a point when I question why it is that I am doing what I am doing and is it really woth it? Well, I have combined, modified and adopted a saying that I try to adhere to. "Sometimes, in the search of the greater good, one must choose the lesser of two evils". Kind of silly rip-off isn't it? Maybe, but it helps me get up early every morning and stay up late every night to get everything done.

It is hard to ever really know if it will pay off. It seems like everything is a gamble. But at least my path is a controlled risk with historically favorable results. I just felt like sharing with you all.
