Be in two places at once.

Time is one of my favorite topics here. It seems there’s never enough of it to get everything done. So I like to complain about it. One of my latest teachers once told me that this post-grad course is just like a slap in the face. It’s not like I’m going to become an expert on the subjects lectured, and I probably won’t get a raise or a better job for knowing a little bit more on these topics. But it’s a challenge. A challenge to one’s already overbooked life. I mean, yesterday I could just get home and rest. Today, I have to get home tired and study or work on school projects. It’s a wake up call. I have to relearn to organize myself and get out of my established routine… To add to it, this week I decided to go to work by bicycle. Not an easy decision to put to practice. Leaving the comfort of driving a car to work? Having to wake up earlier and pedal your way home at the end of the day? Why would anyone do that? It’s another challenge. Giving up is so easy. Everyone can do that. It’s when you go through with something, without giving up, against everyone’s expectations that you become…what?…a better man? I don’t know…I’m still trying to figure out why I do all the things I do. Sometimes I regret the time not spent with you. I really do…But I have so much going on with my life right now, that I sometimes can’t be in two places at once.
