Being sick is never fun, but the thing that kills me most is all the free time. I've decided not to go to school or work tomorrow, so I have the entire day to do whatever. But, because I'm sick with this cold, everything is tedious and/or painful.
Messing around on my phone for a long time is fun for awhile, but the light makes my sinus headache worse, and I put it down. Then I may decide to sleep. Sleep only works if I'm "throw-up" sick though. Then you're sick enough to be exhausted all day. I would know. I got that virus in June and did nothing but sleep (and get up maybe once or twice) all day. I actually didn't even sleep on my bed. Getting up to go to bed was too much work.
Colds are different. After awhile my body says, "Hey, you're not tired! Get out of bed!" But as soon as I stand up I get a really bad head rush. Since my head hurts I want to sleep, but my body is stubborn. So what am I supposed to do for 18 hours? Last time I got a cold I texted all day, but I don't really text a lot anymore. I am this year, though, because there's a lot to talk about when it comes to Sno-Isle projects. I will text a little to see if my group is actually working. And our project is due tomorrow and we have a lot to do. So I need to check in on my group mates to see if they did anything. Besides, if we get a good grade on the project, I'm buying them all donuts. Or make cookies. Whichever they want. Why? Because I'm team leader! That's what we do!
Anyway, I hate the days where you literally have nothing to do because the things you would normally be able to do is too hard. Wow, I sound so lazy.
Fortunately, tomorrow's Friday. So now I'll have all weekend to recover. Also, I'm missing a quiz tomorrow. Did I plan this on purpose? Hmm?? Mwahahaha!
No, I actually did not. It just happened to be that way. However, in the back of my head I thought "I really don't want to do a quiz in this condition."
I realized that after I pushed myself through school that no one would really want to sit around me in this condition. I wouldn't. My friends jokingly leaned away from me last period, but I thought about it and decided it would be best to take a day off.
Commencing boredom!
If you have suggestions, please let me know. I'll be checking comments quite often tomorrow because I probably won't be leaving my laptop for more than a few minutes.
Tomorrow would be a good time to continue reading Frankenstein. It's quite difficult to follow, but I get the idea. I'm on Chapter four, and the name "Frankenstein" was finally revealed as being the name of the current narrator (I say "current" because technically there's two narrators, but anyway...). And it was mentioned in passing! I think I'm finally getting to the more interesting parts. It was revealed that Frankenstein knew the "secret" to animation (no, not cartoon animation. Like, bringing people to life and stuff.). But he'll never tell what it is. Ooohhhh.
Ok, bedtime. Then boredom. Yay.

Summer Boredom
You can't spell "summer" without "umm..." (you're saying "umm" because you're bored and are trying to decide what to do. Get it? Aren't I clever? -_-)
I suppose this is how life is. Either looking forward to what's in front of you or wishing you had what's behind you, and not enjoying what you already have. Take summer for instance. It's the subject that crosses the conversations of teens all over the school all throughout the school year (that, and relationships). Summer always seems just out of reach. It's especially hard after exams are over and there's really no reason to go in school in the first place. But now that it's here, I keep getting told from friends via phone (if they're cool like that) and text message (if they're stereotypical like that) that they're bored out of their mind. Even for seniors that seems to be the case. Although I love when my senior friends visited my school after graduation, they were really only there because they had nothing better to do.
School is something that is constantly dissed by kids (yes, that includes teens). But when it isn't there, you realize how much you needed it to keep a routine in your life. Extra free time means extra wasted time. I actually have summer plans this year. I'm going to California to go to an Arabic convention with my family. Quite soon actually. I'm taking an AP class next year so I actually have homework this summer, so I'll be doing that. Eventually. I also plan on practicing guitar more, and finishing some incomplete stories. Posting blog posts, maybe. But when I'm not doing those things, all I really end up doing is sitting in my room with my laptop on listening to Bassunter songs on loop for hours. School is stressful and time consuming, but as long as you a good time and stress manger (which I am not) you can make school quite effective.
Adults tell me to enjoy summer because you can only wish for it when you have a job (yes, I have a job, but it's not really a regular one). When I do decide to reach adulthood, I'm sure I'll look back on these times and wish for the sweet taste of summer vacation once again. I'll be wishing I had what's behind me. But in reality, if I did have summer vacation, I'm sure a lot of it would be wasted. When summer rolls around, it's almost treated like a second New Years. Everyone makes mental plans and goals ("resolutions" if you will), but rarely ever accomplishes those things. On the first day of school when I ask people how their summer went, most of them will probably say "good," and when I ask what they did, they'll probably say "nothing" with a big smile on their face. And I guess that's good for them. Another summer wasted. It's interesting how so many kids will sit around and not do anything interesting and consider a "good" summer.
So here's what summer boils down to: Two months of boredom, wishing there was something to do, followed by ten months of boredom, wishing summer would come back.
Let's just say, if summer was a relationship, it'd be an extremely unstable one that all the other seasons are jealous of. Sure, summer is really hot, but only fun and wild sometimes. Sometimes summer lingers on too long, and when you want summer to stay, she never does. And yet, everyone talks about her like she's the new season on the calender. But under the looks, it's all wasted dates and lost love.
