Why is it, no matter how many times my alarm goes off, I'll stay in bed for as long as possible on a Monday morning? Am I afraid of the week? Certainly not, have you heard about my week (weak) schedule? Class from 1-4 on Monday and Tuesday. The End.
Do I wish to continue dreaming sweet dreams? Maybe, if I could remember what they were. But I don't recall any princes, hovering couches, or Cary Grant doing the Macarena, any of which would qualify for a sweet dream.
Speaking of the Macarena. Do you remember when you learned the macarena? I don't. But I think I knew it when I was really young ... I remember doing it at Lansing Elementary (which, out of curiosity, I researched and found out that on greatschools.org it has received a 2 out of 10 rating. My second elementary school, Sunrise Elementary, received a 5 out of 10. I realize those are current ratings, but from my memory, the education I was receiving and I could have received at Lansing was monumentally better than what I got at Sunrise. Ask my mom. She'll tell ya.) (And quite frankly, I don't consider attending a school where high scores are the qualifications for a "good education" a guarantee for producing societal stewards who take serious responsibility in their education and understand the implications of their leadership and examples. But that is for another day.)
Am I just being lazy? that is a reaaaaally good question. And probably the closest answer.
Am I tired? Yes. Always. But that is a new goal of mine, to eradicate sleepiness from my life. Who needs it?
Somehow, I managed to get out of bed and still do what I wanted early in the morning. But that also makes me wonder about myself. What is it that pushes me to get out of bed? What is it that motivates action?
You can believe anything. But believing in something enough to act upon takes significantly more accountability.
