standing tall
Today has been a long day. I predict the same for tomorrow, and the day after next. And so shall this vicious cycle go on, until the long days finally take control of every part of my almost consumed life. I’m tired of caring. I’m tired of whining about it. Hell, I’m so tired, I can barely think. Anyway, this isn’t new for me, so I might as well be positive while I still have the chance.
After days of failed attempts to write (producing millions of drafts, hanging entries, blank documents, and exaggerated statements such as this), I have found the time despite the wicked lack of it. Numerous academic atrocities plague me for tonight, and yet here I am, pouring my heart out before somebody, or something, else takes control of it. For tonight, I have my room to clean, Methods paper to begin finishing (nyajajaja!!!), exams to study for, and a mind whose sanity I have to preserve. Oh, did I mention that these things are meager appetizers? Wait ’til the main course comes! And don’t forget the dessert!
Damn. I am going insane. Well, insaner, to put it right. How I long to see the day when I can just shout “TO HELL WITH RESPONSIBILITIES!!!” then run down the street naked (without the cops interfering with such a glorious moment). Maybe, minus the naked part, I’ll see that day before I die. Or maybe not. If the latter should happen, a walking zombie Andie shouldn’t come much of a surprise.
February. I guess it’s the month I loathe the most. Not only is it short, it also brings with it the day made to celebrate love, but that which makes me feel very much unloved. I remember last year’s Valentine’s Day. After my tutorial job, my best friends Mujik and Menchie fetched me to have dinner at MTS. And guess what? We all had dates! Amazing, right? Mujik had Noynoy. Menchie had Ayi. And I had… a wooden chair! Unbelievable? Believe it!
This year’s Valentine’s is sure to be interesting though. I have a date with singles!!! Ms. Angie and Ms. J-Lo (respectively, soon to be ex-guidance counselor and registrar of Pisay). And maybe I’ll join the petition against Lovapalooza. It’s about time I stand up for something I have long been fighting for silently.
My day has been a little disappointing. My winning streak in Strength has been broken. My mind wandered quite a lot today, so much so that I even forgot that I had a class during 1:00-2:30 (I came in thirty minutes late, jajaja!!!). I feel a little faint, and a lot insane, but I guess that’s what happens if one forgets to eat at the right time (or simple neglects their rumbling stomach). A disappointing day, plus a long night… I wonder what will happen to me tomorrow?
A long entry amidst the crazy day? Almost impossible, right? I guess that must make me a super. SUPERRRR—–BLOGGER!!!!! Or maybe, just plain insane. PLAINNNNN—–INSANE!!!!! Take your pick!
I better head for home now. I’m hungry, and I absolutely have no plans of wasting my money on food from the Ateneo’s cafeteria.
i will visit in sleep.. fill them with sacks of sand dusts… and i will have done my part of the humans wish. sleep and never see the light of day.
