Networking

This makes me out to be really pathetic, but I'm not...

So I was just looking over my blogger profile. Apparently my interests are 1. Ruling the world and 2. making friends. And I was surprised. Making friends? Since when has that been an interest of mine? It's not that I don't like friends. It's just that friends mean something different to me everyday. After SEO I very much view my friends in terms of their networking value. (I know this sounds really cold and harsh, but I promise it isn't actually as cut and dry as this.) Basically, I would much rather spend my time with more ambitious people whose futures also seem to be bright and flourishing than people who will end up managing toy stores. But then I remember...not everyone can help you, but everyone can hurt you...

I also realize that perhaps my dreams of getting a masters degree in HCI wouldn't be as important to me if I hadn't started dating Nik. I really don't think I would be taking it as seriously as I am now. Nik inspires me and since I do like to surround myself with people I'd like to be like, it makes sense that I'm dating Nik. In a way, I'm jealous that he's done with 3 degrees and I haven't even finished one. I feel like such a slacker. I'm working on catching up though.
