The Truth

Ahh.... sweet serendipity... Late summer nights, cute guys, bronzed skin - could life get any better? Now, that's what everyone has in mind whenever they think of summer. But that really couldn't be further than the truth. With school straight around the corner, and summer coming to a dismal end, I can't help but reminisce about the things I've "done". And yes, the quotation marks are merely there because I actually haven't "done" anything. Sleeping in, check; spending the majority of my time indoors, check; eating countless portions of food which, evidently, always leaves me feeling guilty, check. I guess my circumstance just extends past that of a couch potato...

In my defence though, if you think about it, summer really is just an allotted time period that some genius (kudos to whomever that is by the way) thought of to give people something to look forward to. I mean, there isn't a specific set of rules concerning what we should and shouldn't be doing during the summer and how we supposedly should be having the cliched "time of our lives!!!". But yes, back to the point, I just can't believe I'm that person, the person who wastes away quality time that could be spent on more productive things. I'm not all to blame though; for the most part, it's my paranoid, freakazoid of a mother. Like always, she's been crazy uptight about my social life and when I get to go out. 'Strict asian parent' would be putting it lightly.

Aaaand there's me going off topic again (NOTE TO SELF: RANT ABOUT MOTHER IN ANOTHER POST) but as for now let's just say I could be a bit more constructive in terms of how I spend my time. I mean, I don't always have to be spending my time hanging out with friends, right? I could be exercising, trying out new things like yoga, learning new things, doing community service - the list is endless. But I don't know, the area I live in just really isn't suited to stuff like that. Maybe that's just me trying to find an excuse but I'm just so PISSED OFF FOR SPENDING TWO MONTHS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. AND YEAH, THE CAPS LOCKS ARE HERE TO SHOW HOW ANNOYED I AM RIGHT NOW. GODDAMN YOU INTERNET, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE AWAY 2/3's OF MY DAY?!

On that note, maybe I should try out the things that I've suggested for the remaining two weeks... You know, take my own advice? I guess I could try but I'm not exactly bound to keep that promise. I'll get back to you guys on that. Wow, funny how I'm already explicitly saying 'you guys' when there is probably no one reading this. Oh well, this was good for me. And plus, I'M SPENDING MY TIME PRODUCTIVELY - AM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT? What a segue way! Enlightening myself further PLUS the added bonus of practicing my writing skills; thanks blogger.com, appreciate it loads!
