hah not to be cruel but the main thing keeping me here is that where i left doesn't have a future for me. the restaurant and drinking can only take a man so far before his existentialism kills him or lobotomizes him to kill the pain. that's what it would mean to go back to frederick to me. but we have very different worlds in that town
Oh don't get me wrong, I hate being here too. Most days I sleep for 12 hours so I don't have to deal with anything other than work. I don't regret leaving college when I did but I so want to be back RIGHT NOW and I can't until next year. I'll make it though.
I'm not telling you anything you don't know but maybe I'm just reminding you of it??
Keep your head down - focus on what you have to do today and today only - forget about tomorrow and next week and next month and next year. Today is all that matters right now. If that's not a tight enough focus then only consider what you have to do in the next hour. Strip every other distraction out and refuse to stop staying afloat. Even treading water is still progress when you consider the alternative.
If you're behind in classwork sit down NOW and get caught up, if you're struggling with bad grades from tests or papers go and talk to your professors - they'd much rather see you tread water than sink. If you don't know what you're doing or why your there figure that out over Christmas break but for now - all that matters is what you have to do next and what you choose to do next.
