Hold the Fort!!

I left before 3pm today.. I'm amazed.. I haven't left college on Fridays with the sun still shining brightly for a long long time, since the beginning of this year I suppose.. It felt good, yet it didn't feel right.. There was this overwhelming urge to pull on my soccer gear and step onto the pitch, ready for yet another training session, but it wasn't to be..

Oh well, that time will come soon, and I'd better take the time that I have to catch up on marking, lesson preparations, and recharging my batteries.. Guess I'll have to "hold the fort" until someone suitable comes along, as my boss puts it, so "hold the fort" I will for now.. This is a weary battle, and somehow, the end is not in sight.. The only end I see, is the end for me.. ugh..
