935am. Con & Admin law lecture started 35 minutes ago, and here I am still slapping butter and jam onto bread before stuffing it into a lunch box and rushing out the door.

845am. Lecture begins at 9am. I am arranging cheese and chicken roll neatly with lettuce stuck in between two slices of buttered bread.

My lunch! It is very important, well, I deem it very important. I could very well just buy something from the Milk Bars around Uni, but no, I want my sandwich. I am determined to have MY sandwich even if it means I walk into class late (well, since I am already late, a couple of minutes more won’t hurt, would it?). The question is why? I do not quite know. Saving money? Could be part of the reason, but more likely it is the determination or maybe it is the idea of bringing my own lunch- I can envision myself sitting down with a neatly packaged sandwich and a good magazine or with good company between classes. It is not hard to make, it is edible, and it is cheap.

It is like Daniel says I take what, five showers a day? (OK, that is exaggerating; I take like, ermm, 3 showers a day, sometimes 4 max!) Anyhow, the thing is, no matter if I only have ½ hour before I have to meet someone and I am relatively ‘clean’, having showered in the morning or a couple of hours prior, I will HAVE to bathe again. I MUST shower before I go out. It will make me late I know, but no matter what I still make time for it, and even though I know I will end up late? It makes me happy that I did shower.

The point being? If there is something in life that one deems essential, or maybe it is just my eccentricities, there will always, and I means ALWAYS be time and space for it in my life. No matter how late, how busy, how beat or how inconvenient. No matter how much trouble it causes, carrying out the task makes me happy-just happy to do it, nothing more, nothing less. I believe that if something is important enough in our lives, we would make time for it, no matter what and we will be happy doing it, happy without expecting anything in return but a smile in our hearts because we did.
