Drained
By Ern Sheong | April 21, 2009
I’m feeling very drained and lethargic this morning. I just don’t feel like doing all this striving in school anymore.
It’s routine, mundane and unexciting. Let them win. I don’t care. I’ve been stuck in this rut for the past 15 years of school life. What am I doing in school for so long anyway? Academics are overrated. Let them get their 4.0s, I don’t care. I stopped striving doing so much stuff in Berkeley, not for the resume anyway. Sick of that chase.
I go to church and it seems like there are more important things than academic success. But Monday comes and everyone lives as if that “more than just academics” message just got thrown out of the window. Everyone is just so caught up in homework, midterms, finals, papers and projects. Sadly, I’m in this stupid game too, and cannot get out of it. I’m beginning to think that what I am studying now is a drag, sometimes.
I need to escape… from all this crap.
Maybe all I need to remedy this lethargy is some physical body punishment — exercise.

And whatever you do, whether by speech or action, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
Your grades are a testimony that God is a God of Excellence, and He is the creator of Heaven and Earth. Your efforts are a worship to Him, to learn about His creation, marveling at His wisdom and creativity.
:)
Hope this encourages you today.

But those who hope in the Lord, will renew their strength, they will soar on wings high like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint”

thank God that your GPA requirements are better than mine. I will need to get that 3.6, even though there are loads of opportunities on the CMU campus. It’s like I don’t know.. but I need to drop some for now to focus on the finals. :(
