::"Right now, I just need a break."... And the heavens opened, and the snow rushed down...
My brother and I left our house at the wonderful, cheerful time of 5.55 AM. We walked the 4 or 5 minutes it is to our bus stop, sat down, and began our wait for the bus, which could be anything from 2-15 minutes, which may not seem like much, but it certainly is when you're standing with a heavy backpack wearing reasonable clothes in 40 degree weather. After a couple minutes of waiting, some man paused while driving by to notify us that school was cancelled. We decided to wait a little longer, in case he was mistaken, and 10 minutes later a woman drove by and told us school was cancelled, so we decided to go home, and on the way I stopped to tell Alena, my sort-of friend who I haven't been able to talk to in quite some time due to the ridiculous demands of both of our schedules. We talked for a few minutes, then headed back to our respective houses to warm up and possibly return to bed. We returned home at approximately 6.30 AM, and went with my father to drop my mom off at work. I was able to recieve a tour of sorts of my mom's workplace, which I've never been to before so that was kind of nice, and my brother, dad, and I all went out to eat for breakfast. We were home before nine and my dad decreed that we should clean the house. Fun. So, I spent hours attempting, and failing, to organise my room, and cleaned the birdcage, ate lunch, cleaned the kitchen, and all in all by 2.00 PM I was very pissed, having wasted so much of a day doing so dreary activities...
I finally finished my cleaning around three and re-achieved access to my computer, so I could work on my MWDS. What kind of break is this, I wonder... at least I have a sickeningly clean room in which I don't know where anything is, and a small part of a to-be very long MWDS for Absalom. I still haven't read my APUSH book, which I really need to do as the book review is due Tuesday, and I'm still overstressed despite our snowday, maybe it even magnifies it since I still have a little more cleaning to do, and a lot more school work to do, and time to concentrate solely on it. Maybe this weekend I'll take a couple hours off of responsibilities and read, or go on a walk, or go sledding with my little brother, or something that won't make me worry/stress/tired... maybe tonight I'll watch shows like The Apprentice and Without A Trace that I usually don't get a chance to watch, and just watch them for the sake of a de-stress-er. Maybe I'll call Alyssa or somebody because I don't usually have the free time for a random phone call as I usually am multi-tasking (doing homework and IMing, cleaning and memorising choir songs, reading assignments while doing basic necessary hygeine tasks such as teethbrushing and hairtaming). But the problem with doing this is that I won't have my assignments finished, they'll just be hanging over me like one of those rainclouds in cartoons, dripping little puddles of guilt until I am forced into writing a halfway decent assignment while working on another assignment all the while backstage at church, waiting to sing... I guess today could have been a mental health day of sorts, but I didn't really pounce on the opportunity, and turned it into maybe a Student Work Day. Ah, well, it's only 4.16, right now. I still have time left to waste, if I should so choose.::
