The Details About Ramen

I never knew that something as simple as Ramen noodles could tell so much about people's personalities. It isn't so much as what flavor you are choosing as how you are preparing the noodles. For example, Junki makes delicious Japanese Ramen (haha, you know you do). Whereas mine.... are just okay. What is the difference? Apparently, he follows the directions on the packet step-by-step, measuring cup and timer included. Isn't that crazy? I mean... who does that?? Am I the only one who just throws in some water, heats it up until the boiler screams, dumps in all the sauces, and eat it when I can't stand waiting anymore?

I've never been much of a details person. Okay, so in high school I was a bit OCD about my school work, but, overall, it's actually (despite what people think) very hard for me to focus on details. I'm not someone who would study instructions before attempting something or even reading the Physics chapter before I do the assignment. The thought of spending the rest of my life in a research lab or getting a PhD scares the crap out of me. I'd rather look at the big picture---how does the noodle taste after dumping all of those ingredients together?

But to a high degree, details matter. I guess I have known this all along, but it never dawned on me that I was the kind of person to ignore those things. (Apparently, Junki says it's obvious that I'm like that...) So, I really need to stop slipping by Chemistry, making good grades without actually spending time on the material--this would never have worked in Dr. Okor's class, so why I am slipping down to this level now that I am in college?? It just does not make any sense. And, I really need to make sure I know how things are going to work once I'm at Oxford.

We can't just, live life in one big blur can we?
