I'm an Adult? Are you serious?

I think I have officially hit that point where I sleep way less then I need to and I always feel like I'm at work. The time is currently 2:23 as I type this sentence. Why am I still up when I have to start my 3.5 day shift at 7am? I helped by covering night watch on Saturday night and stayed up for church and then slept a little too long. Now, I'm starting to get tired again but also realizing I have 16 hours today of managing a group 10 troubled teenagers. I guess this is what "adult" life feels like? Maybe so. Either way I'm slowly getting more and more used to this kind of lifestyle. The appeal of the so-called slacker college life has lost a lot of its luster to me. There comes to a point to where you can't live your life as a slacker. There's far too much to do and to create in the time that you have been given then to sit around and wonder why your life sucks. That I think is the greatest tragedy of the society that we live in. We expect everyone else to do everything for us instead of taking control of creativity that we all have. For years I've heard about the potential people see inside of me. I really want to use this time now to allow God to get me to the point where I can honestly go back to seminary with no doubts or regrets. That's what I want as I slowly become comfortable with my so-called Adult life.
