So I was supposed to be in school for badminton today but my friend was sick and so it had to be called off. Bored to my wits' end, I decided to use the 10 dollars mother had given me to pay for the netball photos to rent vcds. I spent a total of 8 on 4 vcds. So to sum up my tuesday, I spent all afternoon till about 8 watching confessions of a teenage drama queen, notting hill and shall we dance. I'm left with Uptown girls and I have no idea when I'm going to watch it. I couldn't carry on being a couch potato because my sister was bugging me to quit hogging the television. It's not as if it's the only tv in the house. For the love of God, there are 2 more television sets conveniently located in one of the rooms and the living room. To top it all off, they're both within minimal walking distance. Our house is not that big, you know. Sometimes, we humans just love to find fault with each other. It's truly a world of bagai anjing dengan kucing situation that I live in. No compromise.
And so it's back to school tomorrow. Ohhh the drudgery of post prelims; getting back the papers, realising how obvious the answers are and how easy the paper actually is. Oh the frustration. How can I forget the pending snide remarks from a certain subject tutor. The perks of being a student. Life is indeed a bed of roses. heh. It is a good thing though, that tomorrow is a short day considering the fact that there are 3 periods of geography and 3 periods of gp both of which, I am not looking forward to. I want all the papers back on the same day so that I could get over being so disappointed with myself, learn from my mistakes and get on with what is left of revision. But knowing that my teachers are not bionic in any way, I can forget about getting back the papers in a jiffy.
Since the day was spent doing nothing constructive (nor destructive. ha ha), I hope to get back on track with my studies as soon as possible. My parents are bugging me to start revising again. They made it sound as if I haven't been studying for a week. You can imagine the din that went on while I was watching the movies. One was yakking about how I was celebrating as if everything's over and done with while the other I think, was happily on a fart-a-thon. No prizes for guessing who's who. For goodness' sake, let me just take a day off.
Okay, this bit will have nothing to do with any of the aforementioned. You know, I was really astonished when it came to me that sometimes, when you least expect something to befall you and it does, it can be overwhelming to the extent of suffocation. And when you yearn for something, it hardly comes by and sometimes you may or not be disappointed. Most of the time, I would tell myself not to expect so much or anything at all. But as of late, I have no idea what to do anymore. There have been times when I wish that everything would go away so that I can study in peace.
