When i read the word motion, the first thing that came to mind was the song Locomotion - it's a catchy song, so now i'm singing it in my head and doing a mental conga line.
But really, that's not all that interesting. So i though i'd post about how life is moving an a weird motion at the moment. Both slow and fast motion. Slow motion in that this week, this year, is crawling by. The days seem to stretch on and on. Do you know that feeling? When it's kind of like you're wading through stick caramel. I was writing earlier and dragging myself through the same routine everyday, every week. I'm looking forward to july - once we get to july, my exams are pretty much over and i can enjoy the holidays. Loz and i are planning an epic adventure. But until then, things are going to slooooowly.
On the other hand, even with things going so slowly, the amount of time for me to do all of my assignments, all of my exam revision and prepare for kids club seems to be rapidly disapearing. I don't know where it's all gone! Kids Club is in five weeks (maybe four?) and my exams are in the two weeks before that. I have two 2300 word essays due on tuesday that i've hardly started and three exams to revise for. Not just skim my notes, but re-learn half of it, because this semester has been jam-packed with knowledge. It's insane. In that respect, time seems to be zipping by.
I'll get my butt into gear eventually and get all of my work done. I can deal with running out of time for that, i can always manage the panic. But it would be nice if the rest of time sped up a little in the rest of my life - the weekend just can't get here fast enough!!
Just so you know, the Locomotion song is still conga-ing around my head.

I love that song locomotion...
and trust me...the older you get..the quicker time passes...then you will wish it all slowed down...LOL!
Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now-ow....come on everybody...do the Locomotion. You did it to me now!!
My motion is posted. Come by if you can. I love visitors y'know. :o)
Come on baby.. do the lo-co-mo-tion!!! Ok.. it's stuck in my head too. LOL!!!
I know this sounds like something old people say, but this too shall pass. Someday you'll look back on these days and smile. Maybe. What do I know? Hahaha.
One foot in front of the other..
I think this weeks prompt has given us all a case of lo-co-mo-tion!
Students have an amazing knack for going 100 mph in six different directions. If you ask me, you're a study of motion and how you avoid chaos is beyond me.
Time does go slowly when you're in a grind and far too quickly when you're not. The trick is finding a balance... and if you figure it out, don't forget to share!
