Do snails wonder if they are going too slow? Does a night and a day last longer to a snail than to a human?
I am hereby admitting that this weekend has passed much too quickly. Yes, I studied for a midterm and 2 practicals seemingly nonstop this weekend. I think I began the study on Thursday… and kept going to... Sunday night. Certainly I don’t feel like I did much else and there is little time left before my evening “curfew.”
Sigh. Let’s be fair now. Friday night we welcomed my other son John to South Carolina. Yay! We had a little surprise gathering for him with pizza, a heritage tomato salad, balloons and homemade ice cream (that he and little sister made). We also went for a walk-bike-ride-run with John, Grace, Kai (Newfie) and Mollie (Cavalier) on Saturday - a very good thing to do to get those “study kinks” out of you. In fact I could use a lot more time on the trail to help the sore study muscles. :/
There was some brief weed pulling in between study sessions. A few bags of wood chips got spread around the side yard too. None of these little jobs took a much time. And, today I made a nice homemade roast chicken dinner. So, what’s to complain about?
Oooo, I’m just selfish I guess. I want a good night’s sleep and a few more days to study. I just really like to know my stuff and be super polished for my practicals. Perfection comes with practice. And I can’t fool myself – it will take some time in professional practice before I can really feel like I’m at the level of perfection that I would like right NOW!
Perhaps I should work on patience too? Do snails need patience? After all, it takes them a long time to go from here… to … there…. Yet somehow I feel like snails have all the time in the world and that patience is not an issue… nor is perfection!
