Post #16 - Motivation
It seems like forever since I last posted, doesn't it? Well I think I've determined that my favourite day of the week is Friday. I go to SFU in the morning and yeah, I may have a lousy quiz or whatever, but when I'm done, I head over to Mami-Ji's. I tutor Ameer, chill with the boys, and have dinner there. It's such a nice overall feeling just hanging out with everyone and I guess it also helps that Mami-Ji is such a good cook! I think I especially like having a day of the week where I go over because I didn't do any of this before. I wish I had, but I didn't...
Anyways, this past Friday was especially fun because Sukhi was over w/ Niko - her new, adorable dog! My best friends were out that night, but I declined the invite because I knew there was no way I'd sacrifice my evening at Mami-Ji's to hang out with them. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love hanging out with my friends and sharing a few good laughs, but lately it's almost as if I don't want to do anything fun anymore. I want to stick close to home, close to the boys...it's hard to explain.
It's weird because over the past two weeks or so, I've had somewhat of a difficult time trying to stay focused on my studies, even though I know this is my toughest semester yet with five classes. Last Friday when the lady at the register's desk told me she was so surprised I was completing 17 credits at once, I didn't think too much of it. That's because I knew that I could definately get them done and do well. What I didn't know, however, was where my concentration had drifted off to. Well I think I got it back today and I guess I have Monty to thank for that.
Over a month ago, he mentioned to me that he ran into Mama at Canada Games Pool in New Westminster sometime this past year. I asked him again today what exactly was said during their conversation. I guess I just needed some sort of motivation to get my head back in the game. Monty's e-mail about what Mama said about me definately helped. Here's part of it:
Hey Karen, he told me what I told you earlier. We talked about Roger and what he was up to and then I mentioned you and he said "you were working hard, studying a lot and that he was proud of you."
He knew you were working hard, that's all he cared about.
...Enough said. If that's not enough motivation for me to keep on going and make it to convocation, I don't know what is...
