Weekends

Why can’t weekends be longer L  My life would be much more enjoyable if weekends and work week could be reversed.  If only I could find a few more hours in the day to complete the mental list that I am constantly checking in my mind, maybe I wouldn’t be so sad to see my weekend and its plentiful hours slip away.  I am sure many of college students feel this way but I dream of having time to relax and pursue hobbies that have long sat dormant.  One day I will once again take out my paint brush and create paintings, unearth the potter’s wheel and spend lazy afternoons in the time oblivious realm of creating, these are the days I long for.  For the next year my life will be about providing for my family, course work, and late nights.  Since my decision to return to school as a student my goal has seemed to be so far in the future it seemed to be more of a wish than a reality.  Now that I less than one year to obtaining a dream it is so close I can actually believe it is going to happen.  Even though I feel overwhelmed at times I am proud to have stuck with my goal and will soon achieve my dream of making a difference in students’ lives.
