growth

the days are passing, and the information is slowly accumulating. with each passing day, more pages are getting read, more diagrams are being analyzed, and more nuggets of wisdom are retained. my power is growing slowly every day, and i am getting closer and closer to the right amount of knowledge accumulation. the next step is mastery. that will come in time.

the level of intensity of our program is still not quite where it needs to be, but i feel like that will change very soon. once the holy week is finished, there is nothing left but time - time to pour every ounce of strength and concentration into hitting the books.

i am learning things that i should have learned before but didn't understand through the fault of books that don't make sense and lectures by professors that didn't mean anything or didn't mention what was necessary. many of my comrades mentioned that the time we spent in the halls of academia for the past two years have been time wasted. honestly, i don't remember much from that time, but whatever i remember is being brought back into sharp focus.

the strings are slowly winding together and the links in the chain are starting to be reinforced. soon enough, everything will come together and make sense on a totally different level. in time, my power level will be high enough to crush the demon exam and carve out a legend for myself...
