BLOG POST #38- From the Balcony
I’m in Miami for spring break but I have yet to step foot on the beach. For the past few days that I’ve been down here I’ve been so close yet so far from enjoying myself. I am sitting on my balcony watching the ocean and the people enjoying themselves in the sun. Yet I have the shade here as I watch from afar. Why don’t I go? Because of SCHOOL. What else is new?
Starting spring break, I had a total of fifty-four pages worth of homework and reports to do! I’ve been working my ass off and at this point, as I write this blog, I have about thirty pages worth of material left to complete. By the end of the day I want to have just about sixteen pages left. I will kick myself if I cannot finish my work and enjoy the Miami weather at all. Why is there suddenly so much work? I haven’t let it creep up on me either! I am a diligent student and I am on top of my studies! I’ve just been bombarded with an insane amount of work right now in the final stretch of the semester.
It’s pretty sad seeing these specs of people enjoying themselves as they have a catch or go for a swim in the ocean. And here I am on the 14th floor of my hotel staring out, but locked away, by my own hand, or the hand of The Man, the school, the institution that is trying to keep me down. It’s almost as if it wants me to fail. But I won’t let him. I will stay in this room and finish this work and enjoy myself. And reap the benefits.
