studying

i never thought i would ever want to work. When i was in elementary, i told myself that by the time i get to university, i will love school work. Perfect example for a chronic procrastinator. I am however spending 12-24 hours in the library on sundays, and around 5 hours a day doing homework and reading. I had always felt that i lack an aim and a reason to help me latch onto that desire to study. Lately however, the more i question what i am doing in the first place, the harder i want to work. At the moment, i am enrolled into the GWSB (george washington school of business), and to my surprise, it ranks 38 in the US. The international business major is ranked 18 in the country, and happens to be the only major the Kuwaiti government offers a merit scholarship for. All i need to do is decide i want to take it (easy) and achieve a 3.0 average (for a freshman, ummmm ?). Anyways, that is my reason at the moment. 2,800 dollars a month for pocket money? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? but i wont complain, it is worth the sleep deprivation, the 15 pound weight drop, the depression, the loneliness, the anxiety, and last but not least, some selflessness. I am sure however, that when i do receive the scholarship, it will all be worth it.
