Homework for the Overactive Brain

Today's Quote--"Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday to me..."

What Soka Student's life would be complete without questioning why the hell he/she agreed to be a part of this pioneering insanity, this world peace madness, this experiment in education we like to call lunacy? And more importantly...wondering if he/she shouldn't get the hell out of here before things either fall apart or come together...either way, before it becomes impossible. Unfortunately, I've discovered that that point was a long, long, long ways back. Or fortunately. Depending on your point of view. Anyway. I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to finish this damn thing if it kills me. And it might. The future is too far away to think about now. Too close to think about. Too much to think about. I can't give up now, I can't run away now, I can't stop now. I dived in head first and blindfolded...I just have to wait to see if someone remembered to fill the pool or not. We'll hope there'll be a big splash at the end of this four year adventure. Only 2 1/2 left to go now. And everyday the concrete bottom comes closer. Leap of faith, leap of hope, leaping off into insanity. I cannot give up, I cannot stop, I cannot leave, I cannot skip out on those who would stay, those who will work, those, like me, who cannot see the exit doors any longer. There is only one way out. A diploma. And it will be mine before I leave this campus. Damn anyone who tries to stop me, including me.

I AM DETERMINED.
