However, the past few days I have found I am incredibly productive. This got me thinking: what has changed this week as opposed to others? First, Midas just had their last tournament of the quarter, so the pressure of planning all that goes into a tournament weekend is lifted. Second, I decided I wasn't going to practice this week. I have a huge presentation on Monday and will be gone this weekend, and genuinely feel like I can't keep giving up schoolwork for ultimate. As much as I miss running around, it's nice to not have something to do EVERY NIGHT. Third, I'm going to Trouble in Vegas with PlanEx this weekend, a trip I am very much looking forward to.
Yes, I still have a lot to be concerned with. I have a lot of schoolwork and this looming presentation is pretty overwhelming. I have a strained ligament in my hand. I am shirking my obligations to my team. I am dealing with our Club Sports office regarding a possible club sanction and $1200 fine. I haven't thought about my Conference Coordinating work in about a week. I have no money, and no job prospects for after graduation.
So many things could be considered wrong with my current situation, yet I am happy. And I believe that is the point: in Maya-land, happiness leads to productivity, and I'm gonna ride this train as long as it's chugging on.
