Spring Break is over and now I am back to the grinding wheel. Professors are assigning mountains of homework, or what appear to be mountains, as we are given every assignment for the next 6 weeks. I am learning what to expect from my courses again and I am moving through some very trying times as I work on handling the things that I should, money, budget and time, as an adult. Responsibly. Responsibility was easier as a child.
It meant do your chores on time. Has the bunny been fed? Yes? Check. Did you clean out the crate? Yes? Check. Are the dinner dishes cleaned and the counters wiped down? Yes? Check. These chores still exist but are shared with roommates, divided among us in our busy daily schedules. This is no small task as we are all working separate jobs with completely different class schedules. Trying to find time in between all of this is crazy for each of us, and is something that I have not been doing well.
On top of chores did I mention the juggling of homework and a crazy but fun part time job? I think I might have. This issue is that I have other things to do as well and reminding myself that studying takes proper focus is a return to the beginning of last semester. Studying for a future career that I do want to be a part of, no matter how frustrating the future prospects might be. The inability of others to treat it like the professional career that it is, ranging from the low pay even though it did at one point require a college degree and certification to the fact that now there are laws being put in place t no longer require said degrees and certifications, something that is very frustrating and now making my efforts null and void as well as putting a damper on those children in the education system (My goal is to be a teacher). We are making teaching into an undesirable career. Something that should be a noble pursuit, educating the next generation. Off my soapbox for now.
Sometimes I think it would be easier to be a Hobbit, removed from the world that I live in, living in a quiet, peaceful setting in the shire. Right now I feel more and more human, fighting the little fights that will eventually culminate into the big fight, whatever that may be. Especially now with allergies, this time of year is a love hate time of year with these allergies and tests coming up.
I just realized how much of this I have spent complaining. It's one of those days. I hope the weather is as gorgeous for you as it is down here and that you are not plagued by the allergies that are currently consuming my body and making it difficult to breathe (As my Humanities Professor would put it).
Ciao 4 now,
Arwen
