A Pigeon

Today, while watching a pigeon drink from a pool, I realized something. I'll describe what I saw and what went through my mind.
The Pigeon:
The pigeon, stood beside the pool, took very quick looks around, dipped it's head into water for a fraction of a second, took it out, took some more cautious looks, then dipped it's head in the pool for about a second, then quickly flied away.
Me:
If I was to have so much anxiety every time I drank water, life wouldn't be worth it. Oh! Maybe the pigeon doesn't have that anxiety, and it's just how I see it. Maybe one can take cautious measures, yet not be scared, not have any anxiety.

So all this time I'm trying to focus on what I wanted to write here and I can't help thinking that when ever I have something to say, and it's important for me, I can't login to the site, and now that I can't remember what I wanted to say I login after the first try. I'd like to relate this to some verses from Molana (Rumi):

آن یکی خر داشت پالانش نبود
یافت پالان گرگ خر را در ربود

کوزه بودش آب می‌نامد به دست
آب را چون یافت خود کوزه شکست

Sorry if it's not his exact words, It's right off my head. I'd love it if someone could complete the list, there are other verses similar to these in meaning.

Stuck between 2 high priorities?

You see two is enough to get stuck but there is much much more:

  1. Got to give a review on "Speech understanding" tomorrow in class.
  2. Solve problems for DSP TA Session on Monday, so I don't look paralyzed.
  3. Just got two papers from Dr. Miremadi and I've got to check them out.
  4. Got to prepare a quiz for Tuesday's DSP Session.
  5. Got a Midterm next Saturday, and I know literally nothing.
  6. Just got WALL-E and I want to watch it.
  7. Got this book "The Mayor of Casterbridge" by Thomas Hardy and it is literature as I've never know. I want to read it ASAP.
So you see it's not two, two is just enough.
