My professor tried to rally his sleep-deprived freshman class. He said, “Georgia Tech is hard. When you get out, you’re like a Marine.” He went on to explain that because we worked so hard for so long, we were training ourselves for big challenges in life.

Well, he was right. Here I am six years later, and no challenge scares me. I know that if I work hard and stay dedicated, I will get it done–and do it well. It doesn’t matter if I am training for the ‘Road Rules Challenge’, or writing an article on a tight deadline, I know how do get it done.

This has become a problem in my life. I work at the studio from early morning through the day and into the evening. I come home and sit in my quiet home. I know I could get to work and get more done, but I am tired. I get a weekend off every month or so, and I know I could catch-up with personal projects, but I am; too tired.

So I work when I need to work, and rest when I need to rest. Today is Memorial Day, a day off from work. I’d like to lay down and watch movies, but it’s time to work.; I’ve spent six hours hear at Candyce’s coffee shop, and I’ve been typing up a storm. This feels good.
