At this instant in the semester, I have found great stress and burden. My roommates find a similar struggle in their endeavors.
Finals loom. But before the exam itself, arrives a tsunami of project development and deadline drudgery.
The stress grows as tolerance dissolves.
For the past 7 hours, absent 1 for swimming, I have been buried within these three projects. The monster of which is an interdisciplinary examination defense I must prepare for a client whom is far from ethical.
I intend to succeed in this test. I have great intent, but even broader expectations.
Regressing for a moment to my race last Sunday – I placed.
Second in my age group. Received a medal today recognizing said accomplishment. I don’t usually re-affirm my efforts, but I have not done something like this in over 3 years. Witness my child like enthusiasm.
Absent adequate hydration, I have continued this project, as I continued to suffer Sunday. Without knowledge of what I gambled on in those last 2,000 feet, and what the judgment will be on this defense, I have found a certainty in law and in running.
Somewhere in man’s greatest mistakes lies his greatest strengths.
