damn mac keyboards , made me clear all my words I have typed... I'll try to sum it up again...
With one more year left of undergrad ahead of me, I feel as if i'm on the last mile, the last turn etc... but all of a sudden, little speed bumps and traps lay ahead of me. just when I think i'm close fate slaps me on the head and says "hey asshole, i'm not through with you yet"
Like the proverbial carrot dangling in front of the mule, I am in this constant battle to "finish" my undergrad life, never stopping to think along the way.
And therein lies the problem, I have been so obsessed with finishing school, finishing all my education that I have not taken the time to enjoy college, I have not really taken a step back and appreciate all I have learned.
It seems that life is made that way, we are here to learn, produce , and consume..with little room for any else.
With all the opportunity that is thrown my way, sometimes all I can think about is.."when this is done, it will be great"
I don't really realize the potential I have to change my life and maybe even the lives of others. If I just take time to enjoy what I'm doing, I may learn a thing or two. I need to appreciate all that is happening to me, appreciate the hard work I did and most of all my parents did to get me here..
So.... with the beginning of the last year of undergrad existence I have one motto : "enjoy" enjoy the reading, the tests, the homework, the heartache/break, the long nights, the frustration, the happiness, the love, the hate, enjoy the good food, the bad food, the good people, the great people, the bad people, enjoy the sadness, the loud music under my floor, enjoy the gum on the soles of my shoes. I really do think that If i just sit back and enjoy all that is happening to me, it would be more fulfilling than any graduation ceremony could be.
anyone care to sit back and enjoy life with me? ¶ 8/27/2002 09:21:00 PM
