Work In Progress: Final Project

This has been my bus stop since I began college.

I've stood here nearly every day for the past four years.

Though the name has been changed, and the route has been altered, I've relied on this bus to get to and from town every day.

Sometimes I feel trapped under my schedule

I keep this calender to keep track of which job I work at on any given day. Having two jobs is much more difficult than I thought it would be.

A pile of assignments that are due between now and the end of the semester. A reminder of how far I still have to go.

I also keep a to-do list to keep all of my assignments in mind.

My dreaded alarm clock.

Bus passes since I began college.

My main motivation. Living alone gives me full responsibility to make sure these, and my other expenses are paid for.

I also have one other responsibility, my cat. I need to make sure she has everything she needs, as well  as all of my needs.
MORE TO COME...
