Why Must You Tease Me?

SUMMER!!! About a week away and time can't make up its mind. When teachers assign two dozen homework assignments time flits around me, testing my patience with the nonsense tasks I have to accomplish, then dashes away when important activities come up. But when I have days like today when the things I have to do are easy; time slowly slouches by making me want to do something, taunting me to do something. To act as though it's summer and go hang out with friends, to blow off studying and ride my bike to a park far away. To enjoy nature, go camping, or just relax with my friends are becoming ever so tempting. I can make it, I have the strength. I will force myself to go this next week. Hopefully time will flash by allowing me to keep my sanity through this next week of finals. Oh please time, race around me, drag me to the finish line, let summer greet me with sun showers and pool weather. I am ready to race to the next season.

"Don’t count every hour in the day, make every hour in the day count.”

“Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.”~ Harvey MacKay
