Parents and Social Events

By Camoron


During the weekend, I am quite happy to be antisocial and sit in my room playing games and doing homework. Often my only form of conversation will be emails and whatever dinner conversation exists in the evening. And this suits me! Sometimes I will organize to see a movie with friends, or play some soccer down at the oval, but for the most part I am balancing YouTube and homework. So when my parents organize to dinners with family friends in a row, I get a little annoyed.
As a procrastinator, I tend to leave my homework to the last minute. My parents, who grew up before the internet was capable of eating away your life, don’t seem to understand that. So I don’t learn about the event we are going to until two hours before, resulting in a last minute rush to study for my tests.
And the fact that we are now in the lead up to exams doesn’t seem to stop this behaviour. Last weekend I had two dinners and a lunch on top of my other weekend requirements. That left about an hour of time for the range of tests and assignments that had been squeezed into a five day week. Oh, and don’t forget the rants I am pressured into writing! Even though I am writing this while watching the Hearthstone World Championships, I could be writing Science, this, while watching the Hearthstone World Championships!
So my dream weekend would look something like this
Friday Afternoon: Nothing
Saturday: Nothing
Sunday: Volunteering and Library
With YouTube and homework squashed in that busy schedule.
