What to do...

Fighting boredom remains a great objective in my current life. It's sad to think that despite the stress and the disappointing results, this testweek wasn't a bad week for me. More people than usual spoke to me (while I wondered if they were only searching for a distraction). Also, my days were short, and I had the afternoons off. Not that I could make use of this, as everybody who I'd like to hang out with, were occupied with their schoolbooks. I probably should've been too, but I had already settled into my own personal rythm (which means I only started studying after midnight). This led to me sleeping for five hours every afternoon, which is responsible for my currently fucked up bedtimes (varying from 4:00 PM to 5:00 AM).

Anyway, the testweek is over. People are done talking to me, as they have better things to do now (like celebrating). I'm left to fill these time gaps with other activities, even though I can't think of anything to do. I don't go to bars and clubs (or at least not by myself) and I rarely get invited to a party I'd like to go to. Yesterday, I watched the whole series of the British show 'Misfits'. Sure, I liked it a lot, but to spend a whole friday evening/night doing nothing but being clamped to a computer, watching a show, of which I hadn't even heard of the day before, seems a little pathetic.

Today, I managed to sleep 'till three 'o'clock in the afternoon. I got up, went out to buy my grandma a birthday present (to give to her tomorrow), got back and started downloading some music. In the evening, I was so bored that I decided to take a walk. I hate being cold, but nevertheless I am attracted by the idea of being outside. The reason I like walking so much, is not just because it's the only exercise that I get these days, but also because it gives me the opportunity to think (and occasionally, to smoke).

Now I'm back, enjoying my solitude as much as I can (which frankly, isn't much). I've been listening to the albums of Jagged Edge non-stop, because they're just to freakin awesome to turn off. Afterwards, I'll probably proceed to watch a season of a show called 'Skins'. It's about teenagers, so maybe I'll like it, I don't know. What else can I do to entertain myself?

4 opmerkingen:

  1. Yeah, I've got that problem too, so I found myself lying on the floor for two hours doing nothing but listening to music...

    Anyway, it's good to see a new post on blogspot after a week of silence... (I don't know about you, but last week, the only blog I follow that got updated -once- was Hannah's..)

  2. I noticed the same thing. That's why I nearly forgot to do anything with it myself. I did read yours though.

  3. I'd like to, but I think that starts with a little something called 'inspiration'.
