rediscovering relaxation

Raindrops are falling on my head. The wind is beating on my back. Water surrounds my feet. I could not care less.

Four hours ago.

The rain came down the moment I stepped off the jeepney. Talk about timing. Lightning flashed in the sky as I walked through a growing flood amid torrents of falling water.

I smiled. I missed walking in the rain. And, for the first time in days, I was not rushing home to finish an assignment. I did not have anything to pass the next day. I had absolutely nothing to do.

I did have to do some light reading, but at least I didn't have to write a paper about what I've read.

Now.

I actually have time to sit back, relax, and enjoy a glass of chocolate milk. Read that? Enjoy. Every sip of pure chocolate-y goodness drains away the stress of the past weeks. Ahhh...

That I'm able to write this blog right now says quite a lot.

Haaay... I love the feeling of not having to do anything.

I feel even more alive. My mind is free. I can now do things which I've put-off due to my back-to-back assignments.

I will de-clutter my room. Not clean, de-clutter. I have to re-organize all the papers and books scattered all over my room.

I will de-clutter my bag. I still have papers from last year adding to the weight I have to carry every single day.

I will check my financial status. I actually have a huge Excel file containing every transaction I've made since November of 2006 in my XDA. I have to summarize and analyze it in order to strengthen my case for another allowance increase.

The inflation is killing me.

But I won't talk about THAT right now. Maybe some other time.

Tomorrow.

UP AstroSoc Applicant's Orientation at 5:30 PM. PAGASA Observatory. Must prepare welcoming speech. Hahahaha.

Member's Refresher Course follows. Overnight at the Sun Deck. Unless it rains again, that is.

I almost forgot. I still have a class in the morning. Hahahaha. Jonats, out.
