I always dread my parents pre-semester lecture. They drop me off at school and read out this laundry list of things I should and should not do. This time around, however, I actually learned something from them. "Stop feeling so sorry for yourself, Liquid." I was so surprised at how blunt my mother was being. "Stop feeling so sorry for yourself. You guys spend so much time complaining about how much homework you have and how tired you are. Start being an adult and accepting your challenges and difficulties. No one will listen to you whine when you're older." Usually I just brush off what my parents say- but this time... I realized she was right. So, there I made my new years resolution.. to stop complaining so damn much.
Working 5 hours and attending class for 4 hours every day has really helped me transform my views on how 'tired' I actually am. So what if I'm a little tired? I can complain about it all I want- but it's not going to get me anywhere. I can sit and complain about the load of work I have from both school and office, but I've found that it really gets me no where. Yea, I get a few pity looks...but what good does that do me? I'm so much stronger than I was before. I'm on top of my reading/homework, I'm getting paid $250 a week, I love my job, and I see every day as a challenge. I wake up every day and remind myself to stop pitying myself about how I only got 5 hours of sleep the night before.
I love where I am right now. A year ago I was taking 13 hours and sitting on my butt in between classes- being so unproductive. Now, about 80% of my day is extremely productive... and I love it! I haven't slept in past 10, I haven't gotten a chance to just lounge on facebook but I really really don't care. I love that I'm doing something so meaningful =)
Look out world, here I come.
