Time = Money. Dafuq?



They say time is money; I am only now, comprehending the true meaning behind this statement. When I was younger, I used to wish time was money because I had all the time in the world, to do all the things I wanted to do, but had no money. Now I have some money, granted it is not as much as I want (doesn’t even get close to it), I do not have the time to do stuff that I want to do. Don’t know whether I should be thankful that time is not money because if it were the case, I’d be living well below the poverty line.

The school for most part has been keeping me busy with all the assignments, quizzes, presentations, research, problem sets and exams. The midterm week ended yesterday and I realized for the first time how fast the time is actually moving and also that I am failing international economics. =X It is not like I don’t get the subject, I get it just fine. The problem is with the questions on the exams. I see the question paper and I think to myself: ooookay. Hmm. I think I know the answer …you’ve got this… but that is against the model… and not to mention stupid… Did we even study this in class? The fuck? The only good thing in all this is that I am not the only one who is having a hard time with international economics - a small consonance.

Anyhow, I’m happy that it is Bakra Eid this week which means a long weekend and God knows I need it. Right now, my only wish is that time slows down, even by just a little so that I can actually enjoy a bit of life.
