Balance.
In about 8 hours I'll be sitting in 180 Dennison, scantron sheet in one hand, #2 mechanical pencil in the other, with only one thing on my mind- Astronomy. You'd figure that with an exam the next morning, I would be studying hard the night before- going over practice exams, studying with other classmates, or reading over the textbook. Guess what I did...9pm I break open the practice exams for the first time, go over a couple exams, and 10 o'clock rolls around so I go to Pizza House to meet up with the fellow dancers for a late dinner. The 2 hour ordeal finally ends (for me at least), at which time I further neglect my studies and meet up with some other friends to go Karaoke for another 2 hours. At the stroke of 3am, I'm finally in Angell and studying...it is now 5:21am.
Oh but it is hard to tread that fine line between making memories and keeping with academic responsibilities. I know in my 3.5 years at this universities, I've definitely plunged into making memories from time to time, some might say more often than not. And I do look back upon these moments with a slight bitter taste in my mouth, telling myself I should've studied harder, I should've studied more, I should've gotten better grades. Hindsight is always 20/20.
But when I look back on my life, what am I going to remember? The obliguity of the ecliptic? Or the great late dinners with the dancers followed by vein-gusting Karaoke sessions with Liz and company? My bet's on the latter.
Balance. Tonight I didn't have it. Gotta try again tomorow.
Practice exams done.
Peace.
Note- The obliguity of the ecliptic causes the Earth to have seasons.
