This is strange.

Everyone's talking about it. If they were not talking about it, they talked about it recently.

This is strange.

I felt no different, sitting there, part of the conversation and the topic is of one that I felt, somehow, was only partly relevant to me now.

Strange? Why should it be strange?

It was school they were talking about. They were returning to school. They were slogging through their homework, and making a good note to mention that they have homework. And if it's not homework, for a few privileged some, I bet they'd be doing assignments, projects, or receiving grades for the past few assessments done before the break.

Me?

I'm rusting my butt off at home, three weeks into my holidays, and two more weeks to go.

I feel so left out.

Can't say anything else about that. I promised myself I won't pop myself about being bored, but I have to admit that I am.

School seems like a lot of fun right now. I know I'll change my remark when it actually kicks in, but I remember I had fun doing the things the lecturer gave us to do.

I attempted (note: attempted) to make a to-do list, and realised that I would never stick to it.

I have things to do, lecture slides and notes to revise, a music exam to practise for, a song to ear-play for a pending school concert, a short story that is still in a need of proof-reading, an epic chapter to do at an unhurried pace, and critic work quota of the week to fill.

Yet, I don't do those. I browse most happily on my own accord here on BZPower, and totally put those things aside. I like browsing here at my own will. It has the works.

Unfortunately, when I read the blogs that people are going to school, and life is getting miserable for them, I end up pitying two parties: the bloggers and myself.

Should I follow the online fad and write of my past complaints of school, before my current school?

I probably shouldn't. It'd make me feel even worse for myself, and probably make the others smile a little in the middle of their fifth arithmetic problem.

And, it would make me pine more for school.

I think browsing here, and doing those extra duties I mentioned above will pacify me. For now.

(Oh, may those two weeks SPEED!)
