The Time Traveler's Wife aka Author is teaching at Columbia

It's interesting how things just connect. This passed weekend, I just found out how one of my close friends are somewhat connected to Santi's friend's ex. Of course, I started remembering my connections to people, resulting to a realization that the world is indeed small. And then last night, as I started reading the book, The Time Traveler's Wife (Thanks, Walter!), I found out that the author is teaching at Columbia. My Columbia College. Funny. I mean, there are really no big connections there, but it's somewhat significant. This month, I have been questioning whether or not I made the right choice about choosing Columbia. It's too late now, I understand that, but it's just something that I have been thinking over and over again. My recent situation really did create doubts, on myself, on people, on everything. But I guess I really have to accept that the economy is mostly to blame. Like before though, I won't let it. I just won't.

And then, I generated this what if: What if I could travel back in time? Not for the purpose of righting what was "wrong", but making it better. Would the outcome still be the same?

Aside from the book, I have been connected to other time traveling themes. I just finished watching Doctor Who- a syndicated show in the UK where a man or alien (Time Lord), only known as the Doctor, travels in time never be mistaken for traveling to parallel universe.

What if we do have the capability to travel in time? Would people abuse it? The obvious precedes itself, but what if time traveling has been part of our lives, like air, and therefore taking advantage of it is unlikely?
