Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

I just realized why slacker co-teacher would not flourish in environs like this one.

It’s because he has no way of escape from the sessions, unlike when he’s on home turf.

Just like I’ve seen him do three times before, if he finds a conference or convention he’s been invited to boring, he skips out and goes home or doesn’t return.

He can’t do that here, because he can’t very well just stay in his room, and if he’s missed, that’s worse bad reflection to his home school and home country.

Anyway, I doubt if he has the qualifications to be accepted in these places.

That’s also the reason why he won’t rise above his current rank anymore, because he needs research (both the drive for and accomplished works) to be able to pull it off.

And all he has is collected is drinking table stories about cars, none of which is original, as well as other work saving recommendations he talks about in class when he’s out of material to teach that he could glean and actually present believably without having to study too hard from the textbook.

I just can’t see him getting excited about the possibility of predicting typhoon paths from radio readings thru the ionosphere, and trying to explain thickness anomalies that occur at certain latitudes and certain times of the day.

I don’t care how much of a geek that makes me, at least I’m in good company, including German and Russian geeks with pull, for goodness sake.

It’s possible that they’ll recognize that same drive in me (as well as the computer programming and mathematical skills I have) and take me with them to more experimental friendly altitudes. That’s part of the reason I’m here.

Another possibility is allowing them to include our campus in their researches, even if it means staying here, at least the bridge of contact is intact.

I better stop here before I break out into a song of a better tomorrow like an animated Disney protagonist.

Session 2393 likes the doors that can potentially open than sitting in a perceived comfort zone. Class dismissed.
