The Last Day

So today is officially the last day of first semester break. Tomorrow will probably be the beginning of what might be the most important school term of my life so far. The HSC oh how i dread lol.

I look back on the past two weeks and wonder; was it time well spent?
Well before the break began i was left with an assignment that is hella time consuming, an ass load of maths crap to do and my application to a new school, a better school. Now considering i haven't completed any one of them yet is troublesome.

This new school I am enrolling in, I don't think i should disclose the name lol, most people say that its 'following the crowd' and 'teeny bopper style' to go there. I don't see it that way at all. You generally have to be bright to get into this school, no average joe will just be accepted. If today that means following the crowd, then i guess im just another one of the people following. So why do people label the school as being of teeny bopper stature? It might be because a big percentage of the schools past and present students are asians WhO tYp3s LiEk ThIs y0~! ^_^ hehehe, or maybe not. Whatever the reason I dont really care. So why am I going to this new school? Lets just say that the school I am attending now isnt exactly top notch. Not that i think im too good to continue going there, but if a window opens, who am i not to look through and eventually decide to go through. Plus also the fact my older sister attended this new school and the fact that I'm asian my parents expect alot from me. 1st or last is sometimes the way i think they see things. But thats changed, its been a while scince they've been on my ass about stuff like that. Mind you my marks arent bad either lol.

So the past 2 weeks. I count the days and try to remember what I've done. In total ive spent 6 days out with friends or family and 8 days inside my house doing squat. Most of the first week was spent out in the city, plaza or what have you. The second week i spen the first 2 days out and scince now have been cooped up in my house. Have i been spending my last week in my house doing useflu things?
Ofcourse not. Video games, films the occasional exercise but thats about it. Which brings me to about 2 days ago. After breakfast (or lunch i kind woke up at about 12) the bin was overflowing with crap. So its time to take out the grabage. So as i walk outside and throw the bag into the council bin, i just stop for a reason, I'm not sure. The cold wind blowing only to be balanced out by the warm sun.
I think to myself 'wow what a beautiful day' i look up at the blue sky, instantly feeling refreshed. Its been such a long time scince ive been out side and taken the time to notice all these things that I and maybe most people take for granted everyday. I can think of so many poems that Aya Kito wrote right now that would go so well with the situation.

So two weeks well spent? Well despite not doing much work at all and that i am now phased with an Everest of things to do, I've come to appreciate the smaller, finer things in life. It might not be as important you might think as doing well in my SC for my future, but for me, I'm happy that ive gotten to see again what i once took for granted. Never again.

Oh and what do you call a man in the bushes?
