Between two worlds

I have been reading quite a bit lately- rather a lot if I literally count the words I have been through in the last six months. The reasons were many-
sometimes interest, sometimes boredom,
but mostly in failed attempts to find my room in this new world,
the academia. Period.

Experiences say I have been here for long,
Unfelt, unnoticed, as I'll be,
in the future to come.

But somewhere between the two worlds,
when I was trying to squeeze myself in,
the papers, the posters, the decorated history,
and the anticipated future stopped me in the corridors.

And I began to finally realize,
Its vast, getting more of it,
But I enjoy, do I?
yes, I do.

Scientific craps

As a realization of the fact that I live in the same world in which "I" do, this is my next effort towards un-justifications of this shameful fact!
