Mundane Realities


Homework exists. Trash needs taking out. Procrastinating about said homework. To-do lists get long(er). Pile of laundry grows steadily. Still procrastinating. Tweet about wanting chocolate. Working out isn't easier. Need to vacuum. Fire alarm goes off. Grocery shopping. Forget my bank info. Write a little bit for fun. Procrastinate. Clean the toilet, etc etc etc. 

Not complaining about the daily mundane realities, because they all still have different twists than back at home. Except, sometimes the whole bloggy/IG/social media thing can make studying abroad look really deep and pretty and glamourous. And it can be and is, don't get me wrong. But if you could see me right now, disheveled bun, my tired eyes, messy desk, pile of (dirty) clothes on my bed, footy slippers and a paper still to write *see? blogging & procrastinating* you would notice that between the great walks, beach trips, downtown exploring, eating out and more, sometimes it merely comes down to the mundane. 

Back to that homework or my roommates will be up till 2 listening to pounding keys.  

Later gators.

Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life. // The Message
