School Work

I chose to write about something that is heavy on my heart, and it is school work. I mean wow, this semester is the most demanding that I have encountered(not really just at this moment in time). I guess I thought it would be different, but hey I guess you get out what you put in. I just don't understand its like do they really expect us to do all of this work they are demanding on our break? We would be much more willing to do work if we actually got a real break. I don't mean to complain; I'm just venting my feelings. On a positive note, it could always be worse so thank God for some kind of break. I am also learning a lot about myself, like how I deal with stress and how much pressure I can take. It must be a lot because I haven't broke, yet. Hopefully, everything will work out for the better in the long run because right now I don't see the conclusion. I'm just in a rat race and I want to get to laying back, making decisions, and calling the shots, lol. Maybe I have a lot to learn and a long way to go, but it still feels good to talk about it. I know deep down that I am becoming a better person and a stronger person. I need to learn how to walk by faith and not by sight. I could say that it's all looking bad, but it's not. Hopefully, if the Lord says the same, I have a bright future ahead of me, and what I am going through, now is preparing me for it. I could say that I have it good, but that would be an understatement. The opportunities and privledges that I have are unmerited. I wish I could say that I had more support, but I know where my biggest source of support comes from, and it is my heavenly Father. I don't know where or who I'd be without Him.

Looking Up

Things are looking up. Test week is over and the stress is coming down and I'm looking up. This week I was just stressed out and didn't know which way is up, but now I feeling light, calm, and rested. I got my grades back, and I did good on my tests. I had work this week and I got all of my orders out for Valentine's Day on time. I love where I am at right now. I am thankful and content. I have learned that it is important to have balance and to prioritize. I got all of the importance stuff out of the way, and now I don't have to feel guilty about having fun and enjoying myself. When I do what is necessary, everything else just seems to fall in place. I have learned that Procrastination is not good, but being pro-active is. Hopefully, I will keep my new habits up. LOVE.

Education

We go to school and we try to better ourselves, yet what do we have to show for it, stress and student loans? Who knew that obtaining a degree would be so challenging. Its not just the school and the school work, but its what goes on in our personal lives, as well, while trying to get the degree. Every time we get to the point where we could make it, everything that could seems to go wrong. It's my junior year, and all I want to do at this point is get to my senior year. Every negative force in the world must know it because they're coming at me with full force. The thing that keeps me going is the reward at the end of the tunnel. Its dark, cold, and lonely, but I won't give up because I can see the end in my head. Well I guess that is just what goes along with trying to be a better person, its not always easy, but the reward is worth the struggle. I guess we could refer to the saying, "No pain, no gain." Thank You.
