Tuesday April 19, I again had a “to study or not to study” decision to make. Mondays are characteristically long, tough nights, since I go to four classes (usually all requiring hw) after work. This particular Monday was no exception.
Come two o’clock though, I began to see it differently. I got a text from a friend saying that their intramural softball team was down a few players and needed a hand. In that moment I realized for the umpteenth time that life is a series of smart and dumb decisions, and most of the dumb ones can be remedied by hard work.
I texted the guy back saying I’d be there, knowing that I was gunna have to stay up an hour or so later. I decided that if you aren’t developing relationships, you have no one to share your smart decisions with. I made a pre-emptive dumb decision…maybe that’s a stretch.
The game was close for the first few innings, but we pulled away in the last two winning by five or six.
I finished my homework that night, and life went on…plus our team made the playoffs!
