One of these many interests of mine which I had forgotten for many years is drawing. As a kid, I used to take drawing classes. Once my teacher told me, "you know what, you're quite good at drawing. Do you like drawing?" I answered, "I don't know!" He looked at me in some strange sort of way, like it's the strangest thing in the world not to know if you like something or not.
Now that I come to think about it, at that time I was feeling quite the same way that I do now. I knew I liked drawing, but I didn't know if it's the right thing to like. It's a few months that I'm thinking about this again. And now, I have more problems. I have already channeled my abilities to other fields. But since I am already confused about what I'm going to do after graduation, maybe a little more confusion is not much important.
My other fields of interest are programming and computer science (especially formal language theory, compiler theory, data storage, and graphics), and linguistics. To add to the confusion, my current field of study is computer hardware!
Back to the drawing problem, I'm beginning to feel like Saint-Exupéry in The Little Prince. Since it seems too late to pick drawing again, lately I've been trying to remedy my situation by studying about computer graphics (from a programmer's perspective) and also 3D modeling and animation. These subjects have turned out to be very fascinating. The following is one of my first attempts to model something non-trivial. It may not be great, but I'm pretty much proud of it! It's my own pair of eyeglasses modeled using Blender, a great piece of Free/Open Source software.
But, yet still, the confusion remains.

as I've seen your glasses, I must say welldone!
Bonege! Mi vere pensis ke tiu estis foto, kaj se vi ne skribus la veron, mi ankoraux ne scius!
Mojose!
Ankaux, mi ja scias la problemon de interesoj de praktike cxion. Sxajnas al mi ke mi nur povas traktis kelkajn aferojn samtempe... aliaj devas atendi.
Ekzemple, en mia juneco, mi ekintersigxis multe pri lingvoj, kaj deziris lerni multe. Mi studis (la germanan, la rusan, la hebrean--sed ne lernis iun el ili bone). Dudek jaroj pasis, kaj antaux du jaroj, mia interso pri lingvoj reardis. Nun mi studas Esperanton, la katalunan, la hispanan, kaj la francan, kaj mi almenaux atingis iom da sukceso pri Esperanto.
Estas multaj aliaj interesoj mi havas. Cxu mi povas lerni, studi, atingi cxiujn el ili en tiu mallonga vivo?
Mi ne scias, sed mi esperas, senzorge.
Certe vivo estas mallonga. Verŝajne iam scienco helpos nin vivi senmortajn vivojn. Eble niaj nepoj havos malpli ol tiel maltrankviloj. Mi vere kredas ke tiel tagon aliros.
Dankon pro via komentoj. Mi esperas sukceson por vi.
