Days off

College so far has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. From practice, to class, to an immense amount of homework, and finally weekend matches, I’ve pretty much wanted to die because I am so tired everyday. If practice doesn’t already do enough to drain me, my mind gets destroyed everyday by all the work that I do and all the classes that I go to. Having time off last week was a gift. I’ve been really sick for the past two weeks with several conditions, including the flu and an infection in my throat, so having time off without having to skip and feel bad afterwards was great. I already missed a test for another class, so I used my time to refresh my memory on the test topics. I probably won’t do well on the exam anyways because I’ve fallen so far behind with the topics but at this point I’m just hoping for the best. I could use a day off in all my classes every week but I’m pretty sure that at this point I’ve exhausted all of my skip days because of my illness. My three a week class, U.S History, does cancel often though. I have had three or four days off this semester already and let me tell you, it has been great. There is nothing better than waking up and seeing a message from your professor saying that he/she won’t be able to make it to class that day. Of course, I hope nothing bad has happened to them but it does feel great to go to sleep right after checking the message. The worst thing that could ever happen on a day off though, is walking to class and seeing a sign on the door that class is canceled. When a professor hits me with that I just cry. Why would you make me go through that? I got up, showered, and walked to your class. You betrayed me. All you had to do was send a simple message, but you have now ruined my life. Enough with the rant though, I love days off and last week was very refreshing.
