Twenty four hours have passed and my motivation still has not reappeared. I am practically counting down the days until Christmas break(six weeks!!!).
This has been a hard semester and my brain is nowhere to be found. I'm hoping it will return after a month of decompressing and taking more time for myself. I am starting to understand why some people quit college sometimes for no 'real' apparent reason. It is hard to keep enthusiasm up after weeks,, months or years of monotony and feeling like you are going nowhere fast(hello classes that do not add much to your educational experience).
This tends to be one of my 'motivation' songs. As well as being motivating, this song also makes me happy because it brings back good memories. This song exploded on the radio around 2002 and I clearly remember jamming to it with my friends. :)
I decided on this poem because it highlights my impatientnessssssssssss
To Impatience
the secrets of hunger
for some prize not yet there
sight of face touch of skin
light in another valley
labor triumphant or
last word of a story
without which you insisted
the world would not be complete
soon soon you repeated
it cannot be too soon yet you know it can
and you know it would be
the end of you too only
if it ever arrives
you find something else missing
and I know I must thank you
for your faithful discontent
and what it has led me to
yes yes you have guided me
but what is hard now to see
is the mortal hurry
W. S. Merwin
