Usually??
Well, it starts with a phone call from Jason. =) It’s refreshing to hear his voice in the mornings, though I dread waking up. (And even if I sound half asleep, it’s still nice..)
Homework, of course. Tons and tons of homework. But I usually allow myself to enjoy the newspaper/comics and a relaxed breakfast before I hit up the homework, regardless of how heavy–can’t totally let homework invade my life! There are things in life that deserve to be enjoyed. ;D. Then sometimes lounge around a bit before launching myself into my homework. Lately, it’s been cold, so I can’t seem to roll myself out of my cozy bed.
Well, I love working to music, so when I do my work, I listen to lot’s of music. =) (www.last.fm/user/mellowmelin). So, generally I listen to as much music as I do work…I’ll have no hair cells by the time I’m old..oh my! (There are DANCING ear hairs that help us hear..!). I LOVE MUSIC! Interestingly enough, music is part of my name in Chinese! =)
I also update my Xanga/blog [sometimes]/Facebook, and such! A little social, a lot of work. I try to get some power naps and sleep, or something. I also squeeze in time para hacer ejercicios.
Occasionally I settle in to watch a Duke basketball game during seasons (today’s game was unfortunate). & then I sometimes call friends I haven’t heard from in a while to do some catching-up.
Today was a different day, not the usual. I cleaned a little and organized music, did some journals for TOK, and in the afternoon went shopping for prom. I feel bad for spending so much money…one day, I’ll work hard enough to pay back for all that I’ve used, hopefully ;D. I hope I’m worth it.
I bought a black and white dress, silver shoes, some makeup remover+foundation/sunscreen, and a necklace. I hope I can look fantastic =) (I’ll post pictures in April, I promise! Unless I look monstrous..).
It’s a tragedy what life has become–in a way. I used to have extra time before bed to stop. Think. Reflect. I would review my day, evaluate it, and dream of a better world. Changes–improvements. But now, I struggle to get that sleep. It’s to the point where I don’t have time to do that, (now Xanga has replaced that..it’s my way to vent and such, and my journal)–I collapse and fall asleep without much thinking. But thinking was a hobby. Even if that sounds nerdy, hey, it’s true. It seems like something many people forget to do. It brings a strange sense of inner peace to be able to think. Sometimes.
Books that have influenced me a lot:
- A Separate Peace-John Knowles
- The Little Prince-Antoine de St. Exupery
- To Kill a Mockingbird-Harper Lee
- 1984-George Orwell
- The Prince-Niccolo Machiavelli (JUST KIDDING)
The first three are among my favorites (also Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings & other Tolkien books, MOST books by Madeleine L’Engle, Artemis Fowl, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Their Eyes Were Watching God, and such! Oh, and a wonderful play to read: Cyrano de Bergerac–I HIGHLY recommend it)…
I’ve rambled enough, time for bed! Prep for daylight saving..sigh.
I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!
