To be honest, I just felt like adding a "veterans day" image, and so i googled for one and this is what showed up. For the past 6 weeks I have been spending 11 hour days of non-stop work 8 days of the week. I have never been so busy in my life, still considering I am only 18 going 19. And although it seems like I have bitten off more than i can chew for fall quarter, I have been sucking up to it and getting through everyday even though it seems as if I die a bit inside everyday. I have gotten use to things being so hectic; school, studying, work, rugby, fall pledging, and spending time with my family on the weekends. Keeping these things under your thumb is a bit of a heavy task, but I am sure it will be rewarding in the end, and that I will look back at this and know that I can get through life being bombarded by commitments and activities. Theres little room to breathe during the week. When I wake up everything is automatic, going to school, work, practice, meetings, and it seems like i actually come back to life when it is all done, but by then I am ready for bed.
But getting through these weeks aren't done by only myself. I have several heroes to thank for showing that life isn't all that bad. First my roommates, John and Sam, I am pretty glad that we have a get a long very well, and enjoy each others presence. Its great to come back to such lively roommates, especially that it seems like other rooms are filled with such dull people, due to the fact I have never seen their door open. Then theres the beautiful television in our room, twas week 5 that the television came into place. Instead of the incredibly loud silence, the three of us can settle watching Seinfeld, or Friends. The television lifted stress from all of us and falling asleep with it on has been a huge help. Also, the motherfucking badass pvk friends of mine. Its great that we have been hanging out mostly everyweekend. Those people are my foundation and I know I can always fall back on them, and that I am always there for them. I would not care if it was just playing Wii at Jeromes, as long as Im spending time with them, its a good time. I never want to lose these guys as friends ever because I owe them a lot from keeping me alive and well. Lastly is my ridiculous family, crazy as they are it feels good every weekend to see them. My crazy brother who is constantly buying new stuff to amuse himself, My little sister who is finally realizing the joys of alcohol, and my big sister who is often just a fake straight up bitch most times, but someone has to.
It is great to have this day off from school, because now there is actual time to breathe and just sleep in and marinate in freedom. No worries. No stress. No shit. What a good day
All day every day, eddayday
Savoring the beauties of today
