So happy late easter to everyone! Not sure what all of you did but I spent an exciting day getting over a head-cold while writing a paper on Play Therapy. Exciting I know.
So I’m not sure if it’s just me but I forgot how difficult it can be trying to balance both school and a job. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy them both, but trying to both at the same time can be hard. It’s trying to jungle two different lives in a way. With school you have homework/assignments/reading and other things that are taken home with you to accomplish. Whereas, work, you have projects, deadlines, or other goals that are trying to be reached in x-amount of time. Than on top of that in most cases you have to act two different kinds of behavior for work and than one at school.
I enjoy both but trying to do well at both at the same time is challenging – not impossible – just challenging. Today it also really hit me that I got about 3 more weeks of my job; which is exciting, nerve-racking, sad, and much-needed. I have really grown and learned things about myself so far in this experience. I wouldn’t have changed anything. It has also made it clear on what I would like to do and where I would like to be in my life. through my travels so far I’ve come to realize, that for me personally, the best way to understand or find something – is to get lost in it. People can discover and find things about themselves or the world around them that they might have never thought existed.
What if you get too lost? If you invest so much of yourself into any one thing you can’t pull yourself back? It’s a balance. Life requires a bit of objectivity. I get too lost in my students for example and get distracted when I need some distance in order to teach right.
Well I think that in general the idea of ‘getting lost’ is different depending on how its being used. In my case its a culture, lifestyle, and social conscepts. I would also say that I think that the idea of losing control or simply not having a clear idea of how things are going to happen is a scary thing.
Some people need control; need to have some sort of idea on where they feel they should be headed, like myself, but life in general isn’t always like that. Getting lost for a little bit can do the mind some good – depending on how you look at it and the degree on which someone is ‘lost’ by.
I don’t know just rambling.
