School has been keeping me quite busy lately, but I have to say that my passion for at least three out of my four classes has been extremely motivating.
I'm currently writing a paper on revolutions for my world history class and I'm going way over the word limit. In fact I'm considering finding a way to publish the thing because I'm so absorbed in it right now. Maybe I'll put up a PDF when I'm finished. I need to start looking for journals to submit it to...
Other than that, I've been writing poetry now and then and working on my book. I've had little time for my own creative endeavors, but I think I'm going to find ways to change that. I've been working on this project for a while now, and it means a lot to me, but it would mean much more finished.
All in all I've been wanting to get away lately. The thought of putting a flight to Paris on my credit card has been more appealing than ever before. I just want to leave forever and do what I've always wanted to do--write.
I suppose I can begin that here in Santa Barbara but I have to finish that whole college thing first, you know? Maybe I need to stop stressing myself out so much and just lower my academic expectations a bit...
Life is so strange.
It is strange! We have to constantly put into perspective the things we want to do and the things we feel obligated to do in our lives, whether it be to survive or reach a certain goal. And if these two things do coincide, well, it seems there's never enough time to balance the two out as much as we'd like D: !!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm sure you'll eventually find a healthy medium between being a student, writer, historian, scholar, world traveler or whatever you plan to do :D!
