Another week complete. What does that mean to me now? It means that I am one week closer to the conclusion of what has been a long soccer season...unfortunately it also means that its getting colder and closer to winter (it always snows or sleets at least once every soccer season). A completed week also means that I am another week closer to finishing the semester, both A-B's and WVU's to be exact. Honestly though, I'm not minding A-B's semester...its my WVU classes that are becoming arduous in my own mind. I keep telling myself that they are not difficult, but then I find myself sitting in front of the computer for hours. The perceived lack of down time and constant feeling of having "something due soon" has affected me so much more this semester than ever before.
Maybe it's time to make some promises to myself. Maybe its time to follow through on goals that have nothing to do with academia or my career. Maybe its time to schedule a trip. However, the thoughts of assignment due dates loomed over me like a black cloud while I was in North Carolina...making me feel like I missed out on an experience although I physically was right there. Maybe its time to scream. Or maybe its time to clear my head, relax, and focus on the next few months. Maybe some head service is needed.
I think it was the Byrds (and the Bible) who said "To every thing...there is a season...and a time to every purpose under Heaven...A time to gain, a time to lose, a time to rend, a time to sew..." Maybe its time I gain more personal time, lose some weight, tear myself away from the computer, and mend relationships with my family.
