"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Swamped

~The idle man does not know what it is to enjoy rest, for he has not earned it.
~John Lubbock

Swamped with homework... it never ends. I had just started to feel like I was getting on top of it. Haha, I should have known... that's when you get more. I have had so much reading lately along with three tests in two days this week and three tests in two days next week. I've started on one final project and just got an assignment for another big research paper today.

Now, I have to say, I don't know what to do with myself when I don't have homework. I have already started figuring out what I want to do with over four months of summer. I have to have projects and things. I have taken summer classes for the last two years and even in the two weeks between semesters I got bored. I know, it's pathetic, but it is the truth.

I am thoroughly addicted, yes, addicted, to 'getting things done.' Haha, part of the reason this blog is updated every day, even though nobody reads it, is because I am totally OCD about it. Plus, it is on my list each day :)

(Though, I get to go home this weekend and when I go home it's like a vacation. I drop almost everything I have to do and just enjoy time at home, comfortable, and with family :) So we'll see.)
