Reasons

Everything happens for a reason...

How many times have we heard this throughout our lives? Parents tell us this when we don't get into the college of our choice; our best friend tells us this when our boyfriend or girlfriend breaks up with us; we tell ourselves this when we fail a test...But do those words ever provide the comfort they're meant to? Maybe, maybe not. I'm the kind of person to go back and forth on comfort or not. Right now, I have zero comfort in those words. Mostly because I'm buried under so much homework and have no time for anything. I have a research project to work on, that will literally take 2 semesters...I have a project on Lou Gehrig to start working on...I have a project on Albert Schweitzer and Bach that needs to be done before finals...I have midterms, other tests, papers....All while balancing two jobs, actually attending class, and trying to have a social life. I've given up on the latter, mostly because it's not possible it seems. Looking at my work schedule for my new job, I'm honestly amazed that I haven't been fired yet. I've requested off for this weekend for fall break, then the night of the 16th for my b'day party--but I'll be working in the a.m....then the morning of the 17th for my Pure Romance party--but working the night...Then asked completely off for the night of the 22nd so I can do some last minute cramming because I took off the next morning for the GRE...It just sucks that literally everything's happening right now, this month, and yeah...But they haven't said anything yet....So we'll see. But that's what's going on in my life...Hopefully it all slows down a little for me...
