In spite of the fact that I'm really enjoying my summer course, six weeks of grilling work wears you down after a while… I had it all planned out, how I was going to stick to a strict study plan this morning… until I looked outside. I decided to get out and do something, and resume this study plan when I got back. So I headed to the mall, where I ran into my friend Frank. I really don't know how to describe Frank to other people, except to take the happiest and most spirited person you know, and times them by 10,000. A hug, some selfies, and the, promise of a Starbucks date in the near future, was all it took to make my day.
I also had to make my regular mall stop to Starbucks, which in the scheme of things, isn't as cool as Frank, and the concept of human contact. However, it was nice to sit outside on the patio, and feel the sun and the wind on my skin; sipping my favorite latte, while apparently helping Oprah Winfrey fund her all-girls school in Africa. Although education is important, I feel like it's important to find a balance. Whether you're pushing yourself through four years of university, or just finishing your last credit in a condensed six weeks, you deserve a break at some point, to stop and appreciate the little things…
