| So i've been home from college for a couple of days, and in these couple days i've come to a couple of conclusions about...uh, life in general i guess. well, not really conclusions, more like observations. and maybe not even that. they're pretty half-assed. anyways.
having returned from seeing college kids all the time, high school kids look so young. all of them. and especially the asian ones. I mean, nevermind the fact that i actually am a couple years older than these guys, but they look middle school. maybe even late elementary, if i dare go that far. they look like, well, kids. i feel so damn old.
speaking of feeling old, you KNOW you're getting old when you remember an event and think about how it was only a short while ago, a week or two, and then realize it was actually a MONTH OR TWO ago. or maybe even a YEAR OR TWO ago. jeez, old age does funky things to your memory. I was talking to some friends about what i was doing over thanksgiving and thinking that it seemed like the day before yesterday (time check: actually, it was a month ago). And suddenly old commercials from like five years back started coming back to me, and i didnt realize they were really that old until somebody whacked some sense into me.
when you're out of shape, you're damn well out of shape.
Who was i kidding, thinking 2 weeks of finals with NO exercise, NO venturing outside my room except to the library, and NOTHING but studying and sleep and test-taking would have no effect on me whatsoever. I went to the gym yesterday and soooo daaaammn weeaakkk and couldn't run for more than four minutes straight at a 7:30 FRIKKIN MILE PACE! and sore all over the next day, indeed. needless to say, i walked onto the court and could barely get balls over the net. actually, not even that. i couldn't even make contact right, much less get balls over or in the court. I look in the mirror and see a donut around my waist. yeesh.
another thing about being old. OLD is when you start coming down with old man diseases. like arthiritis or rheumatism. all the joints in my right hand are on fire. maybe i'm calcium deficient or something. or maybe just health deficient.
christmas...sucks
i'm a poor college student. with, believe it or not, friends. enough said.
back to the subject of being old, you know you're old when you can't function without like 13 hours of sleep a night. hmm...13...what a number. oh, and on the subject of sleep. can we say insomnia? its not like i don't sleep. its more like my sleep cycle is wack. daily bedtime these past couple days have been something like 5 am on a constant basis. thats right, not consistent, constant. I wake up at like 3 in the afternoon every day and my entire day is wasted. gee, what a waste. I'm working on this little problem. oh, yes i am.
If you've managed to get this far i guess i should say that this isn't really a rant. it's not like i'm angry at the world for any of these reasons. in fact, i found all of the above really hilarious and thought i'd try and share that humor. maybe it wasn't very funny. i'm not exactly known for my standup comedy routines. actually, speaking of standup comedy, there was a class offered over intercession on standup comedy in which the final was to come up with and perform a 5 minute routine in front of the class. or something like that. i kinda wanted to take it too. bloody plane tickets...idiot me for ordering so early...but i saved like fifty bucks. oh, wait, i wound up spending fifty bucks at the airport because my baggage was overweight. so i didn't save money, and I didn't get to take that class. d'oh.  |
