Ambition: Pushing Me to Greater Things or Pushing Me Closer to the Edge of Sanity and Reason

This being my third year of college here at Providence, things are getting busier (even though I don’t even plan on graduating this year).  On paper, it doesn’t look like I should have that many things to do, but there is a heck of a lot of things on my plate that I have signed myself up for.  I am only taking four 3-credit-hour courses, but on top of that, I have signed up for the year-long Communications and Media Practicum (which I am taking as an elective course, and not because its required), the two 1-credit-hour theatre electives (Applied Movement and Applied Improv), as well as being involved with every theatre production at the moment, which includes full-length production, Prov Players, and a student-directed one-act (so you can expect for me to be a regular on the theatre stage this year).  At times (especially when I have 3 scripts in front of me that need to be memorized), I think “What have I got myself into?”  However, if I can make it through the year and succeed at everything that I do, it will be a huge accomplishment and I will be proud of myself that I took on this challenge.  I am somewhat of a yes-man, especially when it is about taking part in the things that I love.  I enjoy what I do and I think that if I can overcome my struggling procrastination by filling up my schedule, then I think I will be able to maintain my ambition after I get out of school.  If I actually want to do what I want to for a living, I will need incredible ambition and motivation to go out and get what I want. 

Also, I must that say that holidays are a wonderful thing.  Thank you God for standardized breaks!
