Reality Check

The last two weeks have truly been a reality check for me. With classes starting, and things gearing up to the usual monotonous daily routine of life, I feel so out of it. Summer vacation seems like it was just a dream that I was living, and now I had finally come out of a deep sleep and jumped into the train heading to reality.

I have been so busy these days, that I feel like I have not done anything that I've wanted to do. Sometimes, life seems fun that way, being so out of it that you don't have time to sit and think, to put things into perspective or to see the bigger picture. It feels like all you're doing is running after time, trying to keep up with it, as it goes faster and faster, leaving you behind.

But then I thought to myself, what if time ran so ahead of me that it had no choice but to stop and wait for me. Too philosophical, I know. But it makes me feel better knowing that I have control over my life and how I allocate my days. I must say that I really needed this long weekend, its a blessing from God. I hope things will settle down now, including my mind, which has been turning pages of the book without being able to read the chapters all the way through.

God, I'm so out of it, I can't believe I haven't blogged in so long.
