Calm before the storm . . . . .
The room is quiet save for the humming of the computer and the slight ringing in my ears (that's right, they're still ringing). Both brothers are out of the house; the elder on his day-off from work, the younger soaking in the last day of summer shooting paintballs.
I, meanwhile, am left sitting in my ugly orange office chair, letting the reality of the soon-to-be Labour Day +1 sink in.
I didn't really do anything this summer.
And yet, I don't really want to start school again.
[complain]I don't want to start sorting out my clipboards and loading them with paper.
I don't want to start looking over my textbooks, old and new, to get a firm grip of the subjects.
I don't want to have to start waking up before sunrise and doing the shower-rush with the other people in the house.
I don't want to have to start travelling 20 minutes on the train and 40 minutes on the bus again.
I don't want to start carrying water on me at all times because a can of pop costs $1.25.
And I DEFINITELY don't want to start taking Comp Sci, a course that requires a subject I haven't practiced in about two or three years![/complain]
Ah, such is life . . . you never really start feeling alive until you start feeling like you're dying . . . . . best of luck to everyone else who, like me, is standing in the Higgins boat, watching the seaspray fly over the side, just waiting for the ramp at the front to drop . . . . . yes, it IS that serious.
