It’s always when you’re the busiest when everything else gets piled on. It’s Murphy’s Law.
During these past two weeks, I’ve gone to many fun and interesting events that I would normally have loved. The problem was that they all happened at once.
On Thursday I went to the Body Worlds exhibit at the museum on a field trip. Even if you’re a squeamish person like me, it’s definitely worth seeing. The problem was that it was followed by a track meet and the usual load of homework that comes from missing school.
While I was still trying to finish this up, I missed school again Monday and Tuesday to participate in Model United Nations at UWM, in which students simulate a United Nations meeting. I’m interested in international relations and thought that the conference was enlightening, but it was hard to focus when I was worried about finishing my four math assignments and other homework with another track meet on Tuesday.
I got home yesterday and began packing for Italy, even though my plane leaves today and I still had some shopping to do (specifically for comfortable shoes, thanks to the many suggestions on my last post). I’ve finally got it all finished, but my suitcase still has tons of room. I’m usually the kind of person who over-packs, so I’m a little concerned that in my rush I forgot about half the stuff I’ll actually need.
Anyway, sorry that you’ve read this tired rant, but I’ll finish it off on a positive note. Once I leave the US I’ll be free of all obligations. And, of course, it’s Italy!
