Weeks

Weeks come, and weeks go.

This last week was one that I was glad to see go.  Midterm, quiz (in my hardest class), and a couple minor projects/papers.  The midterm and quiz were doozies, while the rest of the work just happened.

You know how sometimes, you do work, and it just happens?  When your significant other asks you what you did that day, and you can recall doing a lot, but don’t really remember anything in particular?  That was my week.  Wifey asked me yesterday what I learned in school when I got home, and I had to stop and think about it for a little bit.  I remember it being a blur, just not sure quite what happened as part of the blur.

Then, time started to slow down in my mind, and I remembered.  That seems to be the way that my memory works, and I’m not sure if anyone else remembers in that way.  When I get a quiz, I look at the questions and can’t remember if I’ve ever seen any of these words, then I just start slowing down, taking deep breaths, and slowly I start to remember.

I seem to see this in my professional life as well.  Right before I begin to preach, I have a little bit of a meltdown.  Then, as the time gets closer to when I have to do what I’m supposed to do, I can start to remember.

Next week, I hope that I’m able to remember more of the blur, being present for all of the prescient moments.  And if not, I’ll at least know that I will remember what’s important.  That’s all that matters, in the end.
