What is it all about?

The mad rush to finish the assignments which are due in less than 24hrs: suddenly in last two weeks of uni every single subject that I take has its assignment due. Very very apt timing I must say. It couldn't have been better had they tried.
The increase in rehearsals, from 4hrs 2 times a week, to 4 hrs 3 times a week, to 5hrs 4 times a week, to the final 24hr two day bump-in. Now that's something to look foward to. Not.
Friends leaving; making new friends; getting to know friends.
The fervent planning or your life for the next 7 days; the excitement of something novelty; the indulgence of attention and fun; the intrinsic hedonism at work; the faint echo of regrets; the ghosts of past mistakes; the shadow of a doubt perpetually overhead; the clamber for contentment and joy.

Just can't help but wonder Just what is this never-ending rush for? Where is it leading us? Where are we headed?

It's 1231am. I've got two performance assignments tomorrow. I've got to wake at 615am.

But I'd like to take a couple of minutes off for myself, just my muse and me.
I refuse to give in to the endless mindlessness. Least not for now.
