I’m choosing to stay away from school today. I’ve realized that I have quite a lot of chores to do in my house, and I’ve been postponing them due to the lack of time. It’s not been an easy couple of weeks for me, from going to school regularly to working intensely. There is always something that I’m supposed to do in my house that I’m not doing, I keep pushing it away, keeping it off until I get more time. However, from the look of things, that time may never come because more things will keep coming up and I will keep postponing the chores.
It’s not easy at all, because now I’ve realized that if I want to be serious about this, then sacrifices would have to be made. It’s hard to find a totally free day for me, Mondays and Tuesdays are usually my best days because they’re when I have less work to do. However, these past two weeks have been nothing but extremely busy for me. I’ve had so much on my plate that it’s a wonder I’ve been able to cope. I combine work and school during the week and over the weekend, I dedicate myself to the work that I left. This is what usually leaves me free on Mondays because I have no classes then.
Anyway, things have changed a bit in the past few days, and from the look of things, it will keep being this way for a while now, which is why I have to take charge of things and make the hard decisions. I’m skipping school today, just for today. And this is because I want to do a total revamp of my room. As in ehn, I’m talking about a major clean-up, the kind that gives the place a new look. Not just your basic sweeping and mopping.
It would take a long time, I know, it will also be stressful, which is probably why I’ve been pushing it for so long. However, this is much needed. It’s been a while since I’ve done a major clean up like this and it would go a long way in making this place feel like home once again. The level I’d take this clean up to, neighbors will think I’m renovating.
Anyway, the cleanup won’t be the only thing I’d be doing today. Due to the tight schedules I’ve been facing, I’m still missing out on some important assignments. Today will be a good day to tackle all of them. And it will also be a good period to put in more effort to my final year project. So, beside cleaning up my place, there is a lot I have to do and there is so much counting on the outcome of today.
Either way, it’s all good. I’d return to school tomorrow and by then I hope that I’m not owing any further assignments or reports. Because it gets to a point where it begins to hook you in the throat. That’s just the truth. I’m using today to catch up on all my lapses, then tomorrow, I return to school. It’s for my own good!
