Rest Weekend

3 comments Life, , , , ,

Ah, WordPress, how I’ve missed you! It’s only been a bit more than a week, but it felt like such a long time. I apologize for the senseless posts about my schoolwork (including this one) and the unannounced hiatus – not that I’d want to become one of those people who post on their blog just for that. I hate posts like this, but let me just help you catch up on what’s been happening in my life and shed some light on the reasons for my sudden withdrawal from the online world.

As I’ve been saying over and over again both here and in my Twitter account, I’ve been overloaded with projects. This week alone, I have submitted 3 already, with 5 left to go. This year, they’ve been giving more priority to our projects (it’s an experimental new curriculum) and I hate it. It’s just too much. My entire batch is just so tired all the time now, and the teachers still expect us to pay attention in class.

I’ve also been having singing practice every single lunch time; we’re learning really hard songs and are being rushed to learn them. I love to sing, but it’s gotten my eating schedule all messed up; I eat lunch at recess and eat recess after school. I get hungry at the strangest times. It’s like I don’t even know when to eat anymore.

I’m sleepy and hungry all the time now, and it doesn’t help that I’m trying to sleep early and gain weight. I continue to sleep at about 10:30 every night though (thank God), and, at least, I haven’t been losing any weight.

I’m going to use this weekend as my rest weekend – my do-nothing-weekend – a break from all things related to school. I have a long list of “Things To Do When I’m Not Busy”, and it’s about time I got started on that. Before that, I really need to return some comments.

Well, that was a boring post. Haha, maybe I’ll post a better one next time.

I dislike it when people just post on their blog that they’re sorry for not updating or sorry they haven’t been around – and that’s the only thing they mention! I always hope for them that they’ll understand that they can update their website when they like! :P

Good luck with any projects you have left. I know you’ve been really busy, and I hope this weekend is a good break for you.

I’ve been getting hungry at night lately, even though I actually eat a lot during the day. I don’t think it’s a good thing though! I seem to get hungry when I’m not at home and when I’m out and about. When I’m home I just sort of forget that it’s lunch time because I don’t get that hungry.

I check comments or tweet from my phone too, but I use our wireless. If our internet went down I’d probably go to a cafe or a friend’s house. :P

Ah, I’m guilty of the “sorry I haven’t updated” blogs. They bother me when they’re on a site with the blog as a main feature, but I make an exception for my resource site. The blog is merely there for telling people when I make new content. I guess I start feeling guilty when I don’t post.

I hate experimental teaching. It always seems to make things worse. Why can’t people just learn to stay consistent, especially if it’s working.

Good luck with your projects. I feel for you. D:

I agree that coins make pockets really heavy, but sometimes it can’t really be helped. :P I am always itching to empty my pockets of loose change by buying a train ticket or buying a drink… but I also carry a little bag especially for coins. :) I like pockets because they’re so handy, though!
