you're not.

i'm glad the weekend's here. it's been one hectic week, and a tough one at that. feels like i've just been working and working and working and for the first time since i got here i asked myself if all this work was worth it.

i'm also wondering if i'm doing something wrong... why AM i always working? why don't i have things under better control, and why am i not able to make time for other, as important if not more important things? is it because of my subject combination? is it because i'm not planning things out properly? is it because i'm putting too much effort into it? would anyone else in the same situation i'm in be doing as much work as i am, for as much time as i'm doing it?

i'd really like to know the answer to that last question especially, because it's easy for people to judge and say i really don't have that much to do, at least no more than anyone else has and so there isn't any reason why i only have time for work. for them to feel superior for getting all their work done faster and having time for other things.

because i really feel as if i'm doing everything i can... i'm working as fast and as hard as i can.
yeah, so am i doing something wrong? if so, what?

i wanna know, and i wanna know now.
actually, i need to know, and i need to know now.


"if i were you
holding the world right in my hands
the first thing i'd do
is thank the stars above
for the world i love
take a breath and enjoy the view
live the life that i wanna do
if i were you."

-if i were you, hoobastank.

Hang in there babe. It's just tough times, I guess. And don't worry too much on how you're handling your work and all. You've been doing it the same since last time, and it's obviously paid off - seeing where you are in life now. So yeah, it's all good. Chill yo. I'm still here, I ain't going anywhere. Love ya! =)

No one cares. I hope you don't wake up from the couch that you are sleeping on 15 feet away from me right now.

But seriously...it was a lot of fun hanging out with you today and talking and stuff.

I know we pick on you for being such a nerd, but I think I can speak for sean and myself when I say we're happy you're doing well, even if you don't have time to do other things because you're a slow worker. Ask yourself: would you be happier with quicker yet poorer performance? And I know, you just wish you could be a quick efficient worker, but sometimes, we can't have our cake and eat it too. If it's any comfort, your workload sounds extremely difficult, and you're justified in spending all that time working.

Just make sure you make time for ISA (joke!).
