12:59 AM
Just finished watching another movie - 'It's Complicated' - starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. It's pretty good but I don't quite get the ending.
The weekdays felt like they just swooshed by. Unbelievable. It feels like only Tuesday today. But I am thankful today's a Thursday and tomorrow's a Friday. Everything is finally slowing down for the day and I can do whatever I haven't been able to do all week.
My bedtime has been past 12 AM for three consecutive days and I am exhausted. Worn out. After arriving at home - earliest 2.30 PM, latest 4.15 PM - I get out of the uniform and into something more comfy, put back the clean dishes into the cupboard, collect and fold the laundry, then later in the evening, I cook rice. After dinner I help out with the dishes. In between those are just short periods of time that I didn't want to fit my homework in. I don't like interrupting or stopping the homework halfway. So homework time is usually after my shower, which is after dinner. By that time it's usually 8 or 9 PM already. So what do I do during those short periods of time? Exercising mostly. Or just reading my book (I finished 'The Book of Tomorrow' yesterday. Nice read. I underestimated Cecelia Ahern.). Yesterday was playing Wii Sports with my bro and sis. We played Wii boxing and today my arms hurt. Today I played more again, so I'm dreading the numb and pain in my biceps tomorrow morning when I wake up.
So that's what I do everyday now. And that practically leaves me no time to do what I want. I can't even spare the time to daydream at home. I love daydreaming. Just looking out of the window, spacing out and sometimes thinking stuff. But I don't have the leisure to do it anymore. I feel numb. Like I'm a robot, just chasing time and doing the same things everyday. Is this what is in store for me next year? When I get to uni?
Things are better when I don't get any homework, like yesterday. I spent all my extra time reading my book. It was good. Today I don't get any homework either, which is great. Tomorrow is a Friday and I am determined to wake up early. I want to spend every minute of the day doing things. Productive things. Besides, how many Fridays do I get in a week? We're going to have Physics class next Friday, so it's all the more important that I spend tomorrow wisely... Or should I just settle my sleep debts tomorrow? Hmm what to do what to do.
