one more day. just one more day until i get a break that i can say i reaaaaally need and deserve. i'm amazed at myself for lasting this past week with all the shit, shit, and more shit i had to do and get done before spring break. working 12 hour days at levi's and matsuri's, stories of war and thematic issues it has on an individual, cramming cell structure + cellular respiration + ATP crap into my brain, developmental stages in young adolescence and childhood, preparing a presentation on childhood obesity, and recently added - a song i need to learn for a solo for mass on sunday, i feel pretty damn accomplished for what i've done so far. i guess you can say this was a taste of what real work is, learning how to really manage your time with school and work, slipping in a nap or two, and still have time to grab a snack and hit the gym in between all of that. it's been tough, but it's coming to an end, FINALLY. a short break in this long career i'm pursuing. i feel like i'm ready though, for anything. but this isn't the first time i've said that, and i know it won't be the last. i've realized i've only hit the surface. this is only my first year - well, not even my whole first year of junior college and i'm just now realizing, like reeeeeally realizing that i have A LOT ahead of me. i'm not afraid though, nor am i overly confident. i'm just gonna keep doing what i'm doing, pushing myself when i need to and challenging myself, finding out what i'm capable of doing with my head held up and eyes forward on the prize that i'm striving for, with a mindset that nothing is impossible. it's tough and it'll continue to be tough, but no one ever said life was easy. it's all a learning experience, you learn everyday about yourself that sometime surprises you. it's all just a part of life, and it's a beautiful thing.
