Building blocks

There are so many things that I could be doing that could replace this time in class; I could be putting my post card selection on the walls of my dorm room, I could be studying for one of the three exams I have this week (*eek!*), I could be brainstorming ideas for the new internship that I started on Monday, but sadly no, I cannot because I am trapped in my goody-two-shoes and cannot seem to untie the laces.  Oh man am I tired, that's what I get for cleaning my room at 2 in the morning knowing that I had to go to my 9am class that morning. I love college. But in all honesty I love how busy it feels, the things that pile up on my desk only for my to hack it down, encapsulating it in my file organizer.  The raw feeling in my stomach aches from being malnourished (maybe I'm being a little over dramatic). I will make it through, I can do this, there is nothing to fear but fear itself, except starvation, that's fairly unnerving. But I guess what this rant is really about is the fact that people do things that they don't want to do, it is a part of life that is inescapable.  I like to think that this kind of sacrifice of comfort or opportunity to be productive in other ways is a means of building character, brick by brick, solidifying an ability to endure.  And if I have learned anything about life, endurance is what carries you through the worst of the storms you face.
