What awaits, is a test of my motivation, fortitude, patience and ability to maintain focus. (Look something shiny!) I am highly anticipating an intense next few weeks preparing for final exams to result in favorable grades as well as what is to come in the summer months. I have what appears to be quite the exciting yet stress induced summer bleeding into the fall.
My parents have taken notice of my current state and have reveled in every moment they can to tease me yet show their unwavering support for my work ethic and focus towards my path. Last night we had a full family dinner and my dad took the opportunity to mention how my attention to presenting myself has deteriorated. In his words, I no longer take the time to make sure my hair is gelled and properly combed to the style it should be in, I haven't shaved, nor do I smell like a "cheap whore" anymore with the amount of cologne they believed I use to put on. Rather, I now look slightly presentable and on the boarder of being a hot mess of a slob. Then mom quickly proceeds to ask, "so, do you have a girlfriend? Are you dating anyone? You're probably not because you're not really getting dressed up or anything, and you seem to always be so busy. It's ok, you'll be ok."
Yes mother, yes father. I am busy with getting the prerequisites lined up, presenting a near flawlessly competent self both academically and professionally, and working what essentially is 4 jobs. "Ain't nobody got time fo'dat!" It will be ok, I want to believe at some point, a serendipitous occurrence will happen and I will seize that opportunity to develop whatever there is to develop. However, until that time presents itself, I shall remain a hermit of sorts to focus on this current situation.
It's funny to reflect on, that I have, beyond some rare Facebook comments, hermit myself from many of my outside friends. Refer to outside friends as those beyond the scope of my current classmates and several co-workers. Ironically, I intend to further seclude myself in that I shall likely limit venturing into Facebook anymore for the next few weeks into months, as I bury myself into preparing for finals, starting GRE study and exam prep, aligning myself for summer classes, begin evaluating and applying to PT schools, and finally finishing up CEUs for NSCA by taking the CSCS exam before Fall semester starts. Again, exciting times but high stressing inducing activities combined.
Time for the 5 to stay alive!
1. Glad and thankful I have aligned/surround myself with highly motivated individuals who strive to excel and keep my in check to succeed.
2. Spring break was a waste of studying time. Meaning I wasted time by sleeping more than actually studying. I had every intention to study and prepare myself for the coming weeks, yet I ended up sleeping most of it.
3. I promise when I am past this stretch of being so busy with so many different things, I will revisit all of my outside friends and spend quality time with.
4. Hopefully when that time does come, we can all pick up right where we left off last. There are a handful of you guys out there that I want to reconnect with and really catch up with. I do miss you guys dearly but should get my $hi! together and straight first.
5. Here comes the $hiT storm. I will do everything in my power to get everything done, and done well! I will succeed and I will have that relief of choosing my school rather than stressfully waiting. Also, mark my words, down to 180 in 6 months or by birthday time. 29 will be ridiculous, guaran-damn-tee it, ridiculously sexy that is.
