Beavers Bend, Broken Bow, OK

Okay, finally we went to Beavers bend, Broken Bow, OK for camping last Friday. I have been planning for camping ever since I came here and I really couldn't manage to be there until last Friday. It was my first time camping of this sort and it was fun. We almost took everything from home and we cooked there. We took abundant food for two days and we had to return most of them. Fist time camping is always fun. We had a plan for hiking and we hiked three or four trails but those were short ones. We were exhausted and we gave up hiking. It was not very successful photographic venture, I was little tired and sick and I couldn't concentrate on photography; I came back with few snapshots and I am very unsatisfied. I am kind of unsatisfied with the overall camping, because we spend most of our time cooking and dining. Here are the pictures I got from my first camping.

Rejections!

Interestingly, in last two years I got rejections for numerous places. I am wondering why? I got rejections from six different universities, I got rejections from two jobs interview and three conferences. The total number of rejections I believe is greater than, the total number of rejections I had in my entire life before. That's not very usual? is it? May be, I should sit and think about exactly what's wrong about my applications. I can imagine the entire package I was offering was not very great and so they had tell me 'no'; but my question what exactly appear so bad that I had to heard 'no' from every places!

Well, it is true that these pushes my self esteem a little bit but these insist me to think further about the package. What exactly wrong my resume? Undergrad CGPA? Work experience? List of papers? Not sure! Something went wrong, should I wait for a year and see what happen then? Certainly this is not my time! I think I should put aside everything and concentrate on my PhD work. Maybe I should not harm my PhD work, otherwise I would be in trouble after my PhD. Anyway, life is different when you are continuously receiving rejections. 

Probably, if I apply further it would be insanity. In my dictionary doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results is insanity. I believe I need some time to settle everything. Wish me good luck!
