Like a fish back in the water

I can't sleep so I'm posting this...

I had a very strange feeling today, it just feels like a sense of calmness, it came during lecture, for some reason the lecture about Human Computer Interaction seems strange and yet calm to me, there I was sitting somewhere in the front roll, the usual "nerd" position and out of a sudden I heard this phrase "Academic Research", and my lecturer proceeded to talk about the research on the effect of Human Computer Interaction and how it has changed over the years and the direction in which this research is heading toward. Out of a sudden "bam" I suddenly feel so comfortable listening to research statistics.

It came to a point where I felt I can't really study at home, as in back home back in Singapore, I don't know why but it seems to give me a sense of home is somewhere where I can rest, relax and slow things down, have time for myself and the people around me. To spend time doing the things I want to do, other than work. And here in University is where I get my work done,
I had to force myself to do research and read academic papers when I was home, but here its just natural for me to pick up a book and start reading.

This feeling is weird, again at this point of my life I feel as if I like studying again there is some sense of enjoyment in it again. I hope my mom isn't feeling too happy now, mom just in case you're reading this don't be too happy it also means your son is a workaholic, or worse a research-crazy monster.
