A Little Introspection
Happy, happy day... I love it when my grades are better than I expected they would be. Hooray for whatever it is that caused my Genetics final score to go up!
I was pondering today why it was that I suddenly felt like this break was way too short. I realized, when my family is all home, I don't feel guilty doing nothing but playing with them all day. But they, for the most part, have all gone home. So now it's nice and quiet, and I have a bathroom that I don't really have to share, and a bed to sleep in instead of an air mattress, and all the things I've been putting off in favor of playing are suddenly pressing down on me. I actually had to write a To Do list today to make it bearable. No one should have to write To Do lists on break. It's a break, for crying out loud. And yet I did. And I only have a day and a half left to get it all done. *panic-stricken look* (This does not, however, help me get up before 10:30.) Oh well... I've always been good at procrastinating...
Anyway, I just found it interesting... I can't stand to miss any fun, so even though I would have fun if I went and visited friends when I'm home, I don't because that would mean missing spending time with my family. And they're only here for a limited time, so I must treasure every minute. After they leave, then I can go play with friends. (Even though that means I only have two days to play with them in this case, after playing with my family for a week and a half.) It's the same reason I always stay up so late, I think. If I go to bed, I would miss something fun, and that is unacceptable. (And yet, that doesn't prevent me from sleeping in. Probably because I find it hard to believe anyone can have lots and lots of fun before 11am anyway.)
It makes sense to me, anyway, even if it doesn't to anyone else. I think it's kind of fun to discover these unwritten rules (which usually only apply to me) by which I live my life.
For the record, I got three things done on my list today. I need to get at least four done tomorrow, and two the day after that. We'll see how it goes.
