Controlled by Organization

My life, as I know it, has become controlled by a small, pink, spiral assignment book.

Oh, it may look cute and packed full of enjoyable things to do. But don’t be fooled as I have, or it will suck what was once your interesting social life into its pages of not fun!

For this book contains a pre-planned day by day agenda of the next 14 weeks of my life.

 Everything I do now depends on whether my day is already full before it even begins.

Jam-packed with assignments, homework, projects, meetings, classes, exams, quizzes, and even the rare days I get to escape home are contained inside this dictator of a book.

With every turn of a page, I whimper at what lies ahead for the next week. 

This is what I have become.  Controlled. By an assignment book!

I once consciously made the decision to be in charge of my own life when I came to this university. All I wanted was to be educated for my career.

But I was fooled.

Even now as it sits across the room, secure in my black backpack, it holds power over me still.

This small, pink, spiral assignment book has taken over my life.
