That is what I figured out after the troubles I have gone through recently. For instance, I booked my flight to Mexico with Mexicana because they were the cheapest. Then I suffered from saving this money. It took forever to get a receipt from them. I ended up driving to Toronto to pick it up so that I could bring it to the Mexican consulate on time. The sad truth is that I do need to limit my costs. I am not a luxury person who spends money on useless things. I just don't have money!!! The financial support from Canadian universities is miserable. US universities are much better. I think extra cash can remedy most my current problems. I am not saying money is everything. I am just saying the marginal uitiity of money is probably at its most to me.

I can simply sit in my office for hours and doing nothing, well, nothing important. It has bothered me for along that I have no way to improve my efficiency. Some people say it is because of lack of motivation. I don't know what it is.

I guess I pissed someone off today. Did not mean it, should have been more careful. Feel bad about it.
