13 Days Left

It is shocking to think I am this close to being halfway done with college. Not to be cliché but it has gone by way to fast. Only 13, which by the way is my mother's favorite number, my days until the beauty and leisure of summer is bestowed upon me. Like before any big break or end of a school year it gets increasingly harder to stay focused. I was going to write a list of things to good you sane and occupied but I haven't figured out how to effectively stay engaged during these last few weeks. For instance, today it was 87 degrees outside. How is anyone supposed to want to go into the library and prepare for a Public Speaking final? It comes down to pure will and nothing else. There are a thousand of things I could have took part in today but instead I spent three hours banging out a speech that I will deliver tomorrow morning at about 925am with relative ease. After thinking about finishing the speech I realized studying and almost all of getting things done in college, which is extremely hard good weather or not, is simply mind of matter. Whether it is putting in an extra couple of hours of studying or whether to lift weights it always comes down to personal will and strength. So as another school year winds down and life starts to become more serious and real I remind myself and any of you that when faced with a difficult decision or pain in the ass Stats test just remember to be strong and do the shit you have to but don't want to.

In saying all this the next 13 days will determine a lot of my near future. I have to find another job. I have to complete 5 final exams. I have to refund my summer school tuition. I have to find another job. I mentioned that twice because it has been a struggle to find something new and beneficial. Hopefully either the Winchester Country Club or Woburn YMCA hire me! Once exams end and summer starts there is an entirely new set of problems to worry about. Gas. Bills. Booze. Money. Work. But as long as the sun shines like it did today I am sure the next 13 days as well as the subsequent 100 or so days of summer will be immaculate.
