Invictus

Dear Self,

Three days until relegation.  And you're not ready.  Not even close.

Hasebe's team is also fighting in these last few days before relegation

Your professor came to ask you about the program today and you gave an unintelligent response.  You have no answers.  The closer you get, the farther away the goal.  It's hard to even comprehend what success will look like.  Perhaps you've already lost - already relegated yourself to 2.Liga.

The odds are against you.  Time is not on your side.  (Especially since every evening is taken up by acapella rehearsal practice - concert Friday!)

I should just be telling you to give up already.  You've spent a year on this and it's not going to resolve itself in a day.  Or two.  Or three.

I should just tell you to hang your head in defeat and start working on life after the failure.

But do I?  Will I?

You cannot give up!  You must not give up!  

加油！Fighting!

Love,
Me

Some inspiration.

And some more.
