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.
