Slightly crazy writer and passionate educator for those who struggle
Why do I work all day
Family in the afternoon
Study for 3 hours each night?
Turn out the light exhausted
And promptly drift to sleep?
I wonder why each night
As I set up for my effort
Dragging my tired brain
Logging on to an online lecture
In person, lectures often
Sent me off to quiet dream time
Now I am voluntarily .
Logging on, with no one to see
Sound on mute
Eyes struggling to stay open
Camera on, just so that I cannot fall asleep.
Why do I put myself through this nightly?
A bucket list idea,
I simply want a Masters, not a PhD!
The truth,
I enjoy the study
Despite the weary eyes
Learning new information
New fasinating ideas
Broadening the mind
Challenging perspectives
Getting that grey matter
To seek out ways to improve
It’s sometimes much more fun
Than that fortnightly paycheck
So tomorrow, I’ll look forward
To the next topic on the list
And I guess I’ll keep on studying
A bit longer now at least.
