In a day we are given 24 hours...this is a fact that is not debatable. My dilemma really lies in the days we call Monday-Friday. If we say any given day begins at 12am then I begin everyday awake. There is something about working the night shift and going to school during the day that keeps one unbalanced. I eat too late. I stay up too late. I write papers too late. I do homework too late. I finish projects too late. My doctors and professors would be ashamed. But in a day of a college student, there is no such thing as "right in time." At the stroke of midnight I hear a a slight whisper, "Go" she says, and I take off running. I run to bed, wake up quick, get ready fast, multi-task during class, (safe way to say "not paying attention"), multi-task during the endless hours of my internship, and drive faster than everyone else to get to work, drive even faster home, make the quickest meal I can, watch Whose Line is it Anyway?, and then I hear a slight whisper, "Go" she says and I take off running. Somewhere in the day I manage to have a cup of coffee and eat while walking, working, or driving. All verbs ending in "-ing", meaning--I'm already in motion.
But, after careful consideration, with of all the things I MUST do in a day--I enjoy the things I WANT to do ten fold. I want to buy a $4 smoothie from Smoothie King (get the cherry picker), I want to go to the park and I want to sleep in(not in the park). There is something about experiencing 24 hours of madness 5 times a week that really makes the 2 days in end almost magical. I know that I won't get to slow down from here, not until I'm 50+ and my 401-K kicks in, but as chaotic as it is I love it, but I have to go because I'm already gonna be leaving too late for work. :)
