Journal 12

As the weekend approaches I lay in my bed trying to overcome an illness. I hope that it will pass quickly because not many things are worse than spending the week studying for tests and going to work only to spend the weekend sick in bed. But in bed, you get to have some time to spend thinking about the things in life. I seem to rejoice in the idea of life. It is a time to learn from mistakes and grow in many ways. I am sick, but I know that this illness will pass and that I will never again suffer this same illness. I love the body. It is so fascinating how it works! I marvel at the body's ability to fight an illness and then remember how to kill that sickness that the next time it comes knocking on the door, your body does not need to become ill by lowering its other systems, it just stops the sickness using the technique it had used to get rid of it the first time. One thing that I need to learn how to stop is procrastination. I do not know what it is that drives me to do this and makes it impossible to stop, but I fear that it is just laziness. I am nearing the end of school and I am not setting my priorities as they should. I am taking college to make a better living environment and open up opportunities, and to overall increase my future family's benefit. Right now though, my eyes are facing to the present time causing a conflict of sorts. May I spend my weekend sorting through the weaker parts of my life. I hope these things for my sake and my family's.
