Tough Decisions

This blogging thing is kind of addicting!

I have some tough decisions to make coming up in the next couple of weeks, all of which surrounding school and how I spend my time with it. I need to focus much more on studying. I haven't been working a whole lot: mostly weekends, but even that time cuts into my potential study time. I've got to find a 90-10 split between school and other activities if I'm ever to make it out of this semester alive with my HOPE scholarship.

I don't like admitting things like that, but I feel that if I put it out there for others to read, even if only one of you reads this post, I'm being kept accountable for what I must do. I have too many great things to look forward to; I cannot let a couple of classes conquer me. I'm better than that. If you're having the same problem, jump in the boat with me and we'll paddle up the figurative raging rapids of success! (<-- Lame metaphor moment; you may laugh AT me).

On a slightly related note:

I had a dream last night that me and a few other friends were hiking; the woods were lush and beautiful, full of bright greens and rich browns. We stumbled upon an odd hill randomly poking out of the ground from an otherwise flat landscape; water was flowing from the top down to the base in a couple of small streams. Why was the water flowing up and out like this?

We all took turns drinking a sip of the water; the only way I can describe the taste is "perfect". It was the most sweet liquid I've ever tasted. We burst with joy and continued to drink the liquid, emptying our water bottles to fill up with this heavenly liquid.

Shortly afterwards, we began to think we have stumbled on a fountain of truth, in which all questions we had could be answered after a short meditation. Our knowledge of the world increased dramatically in mere moments.

Of course none of this knowledge was kept when I woke up (just like the dream where you won the lottery and wake up with the same income). I'm starting to think this dream may have something to do with my current situation.

Meeting a teacher in the morning. Pray my alarm goes off.
