School, Friends, and Home.
Do you ever feel like nobody appreciates your efforts? School’s been really busy only because finals are coming in a month, deadlines here and there, and short quizzes given almost every single day. This is probably an attempt to help raise or maintain our grades, it is, however, still tiring and stressful.
It’s not too difficult for me to balance my academics and social life, nonetheless, it also doesn’t mean it’s a piece of cake. I try my best to allot enough time for my studies, for my hobbies such as writing, drawing, and photography, and of course, some for my friends and family both here and back home.
It’s hard to only communicate via e-mail, and so I always put a little more effort into making my presence felt. I update on how I am doing, where I have been going, and what’s up at Skyline. I appreciate their stories too, but I’m only one person, so I hoped they would understand if I didn’t get to reply and leave my comments and recommendations as quick.
Unfortunately, it did not go as well. While most of my friends did let me off the hook, and expressed nothing but sheer gratitude that both parties found time to sit behind our MacBooks and PCs and just talk and catch up. It was not the same case for some. I’m sorry if I am not fast enough to respond, but please consider the time differences, and the truck load of schoolwork that I have at hand. If you don’t and cannot recognize the effort, it is your loss. I have a life, too.
☮ and ♥, Denice.
