Shants!


I just got in my bike knickers. I'm super excited. They feel great. Let's see how they stand up to the rain.

Choke

It's been three weeks since it started. Scholastic input has brought upon many, including, a purposeful output. What was lost and missing has been reinvigorated. This time the accomplishments shall grow two-fold. From here on out, it is the journey to the end of the night.

We ask each other, "What happened?" It's the luggage you carry with you that keeps you going; Heavy and ill balanced, uncomfortable and awkward. It makes you fall down the stairs when you're packing it, it beats you up as you lift with your back and carry it alone for days, months even, then finally, you find those who want to help, who give you a hand, who give you a cart to place it on, and give you a place to take your mind off of it.

You carry your baggage with you always, how you carry it is what you decide.

I'm keeping my word to the contract. I'm staying home on the weekdays. I'm sleeping early and waking up early. I'm studying at school between classes. I'm studying on the weekends for more than what's nominal. I'm finishing my homework well before it's due. I'm studying French at least an hour every other day, if not every day.

This all translates into purpose. Once again, I am fulfilled with purpose. No more am I going to vegetate. The ball is rolling, and I'm the one kicking it up and over the mountain.
