After nine days everything has been a blur. Sounds like a cliche, but I don't know of a way to better describe the feeling when so much has transpired in such as short period.
I've done my best to not fall into a lazy streak, but it's a real challenge when you're used to working all the time. Any down time makes me feel guilty. I know that sounds crazy.
Being a student again that just seems to be part of it. However everyone keeps telling me that will change. I don't know if student life will come close to the crazy work hours I kept: 9 (on good days) to 13 hour days over two week periods. I counted one month and probably got five days off. A good month was when I got six days off...
Anyways it sounds like I'm complaining, but that's how it was and now that I have time to write for fun and shoot for nothing, everything feels different. I feel different. Better and more relaxed. I'm actually having fun and enjoying the present (even if I have an eye out for the future).
Every person I meet, every experience I have had has been a pleasant and intriguing surprise.
With less than 19 weeks (give or take) to go I know my life and world has been filled with a true spectrum of colours that will last with me for my life time.
Wow, you at long last living in the present, that is a change. Still some things never change, still the mention of when the end of the school experience is coming! Glad to hear how much you're getting out of the experience. Don't beat yourself up too much about being a work-a-holic, that's how you got there in the first place.
