I'm so bored I don't even have anything interesting to complain about....
I'm bored. I'm so bored. Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored. I didn't realize how much was at my fingertips just by being at school. Unlimited, unchallenged access to a computer (with high-speed internet, not this dialup bullshit), a TV, a DVD player, food and soda that I actually want to eat/drink (rather than this health food or diet shit), a door to my space, uff. I could probably go on and on.
I set out with the idea of going to bed late and getting up even later. What I didn't bargain on is my sister. For those of you who don't know/don't care/have never seen my house/have never had my house explained to you, I will do so now. I live in a converted duplex. This is basically a fancy way of saying that our two-floor house usually contains a two-bedroom flat on the first floor, and a one-bedroom flat on the second floor, but in actuality, due to space confinements, my parents decided to take over the house 14 years ago so that we all could have our own space. That means we have to go out into the back hall to go upstairs. Despite this minor setback, it is probably one of the best ideas they've ever had, because looking around the now-computer room, which used to be the bedroom that my sister & I shared, we wouldn't have lasted too much longer sharing this room. Anyway, living in the coverted duplex has been great, but it also has had its drawbacks. The positive? My room is biggest room on the 2nd floor, and it's a lot bigger than a lot of other people's bedrooms, and has lots of windows (= lots of sunlight).The negative? There is no door. Yes, that's right, no door. It's what would be the 'living room' if it were being rented, so there's no door. To make matters worse, there's a big open doorway (I guess you could call it that) leading....to my sister's room. We've tried to remedy this, but the best we've come up with is a curtain and a big ol' piece of styrofoam (classy, i know). Going from having my own room this whole semester and last semester (with a door!), this has not been so much fun. This is not so bad, except when I wake up because my sister is talking on the phone at 9 in the morning. Granted, she's in her own room, but it's not like that makes a difference. ARGUH! I'm trying to sleep, but all I can hear is her side of the conversation. The only solution is plugging my ears, which gets uncomfortable after about a minute. Luckily the conversation only ensued for 10 minutes....
Ah! Finally. Blissful slumber. For another hour, until conversation number 2 takes place at 10:15. ARGUH!!! And that one lasted even longer! For the next month I can only hope that my sister's work hours are early and long...
Let's see....anything else of note? Not really. I didn't do anything all day. I don't plan on doing anything all day tomorrow. I am dreading the sending of my report card to my house. I don't want to finish Christmas shopping. I have no idea what to get the remaining people on my Christmas list. Is it time to go back to school yet?? :)
