The difficulty of keeping up.
Recently I have the dicovered the true difficulty of keeping up with any kind of work while on vacation. I maintain the steady medium of being exactly 9 days behind on my commonplace book every day. Then there are Jim's assignments. They may be simple an short compositions, which I originally plan on writing on the boat just before they are due, but then when I discover how righteous the boat is we are travelling on, I can't focus and end up drinking my face off, dancing my ridiculous moves in the ship's discoteque, and getting 2 hours of sleep before having to brutally awake at 5 in the morning, get on a bus, and listen to Antonis talk and talk and talk into the bus microphone foe hours on end as he doesn't realize that there are 5 people awake, and they are not listening. I think he talks just for the sake of talking. Perhaps he simply loves the sound of his own voice, or maybe he is doing it just to bug us. Today, I actually sat down and wrote in my commonplace book for a good hour and a bit, and made it up to June 6th. Today is the 13th. What I should really be doing right now is catching up so I can eventually get around to Jim's assignment. Luckily all 3 teachers are pretty leniant with assignments and due dates are not strict. Hopefully a few assignments get dropped from the work load... Once I get back from Greece and I've settled down a bit in BC, I am going to have to use crack down and intensley study for 3 weeks straight to get everything done. I had to get my parents to tell my boss that I won't be able to work for that whole time. He won't be happy about that, but I really don't care what he thinks.
