cool nights, october breeze
it's great to have nothing on your mind.
and just to get these out of my system: i got a 1.25 in histo 2. i passed my term paper. i finished my pe exercise program. i got an 88% in math. histo 2 will probably be my highest grade this sem, surprisingly. and i'm quite disappointed in my math score. sure, i got exempted. but in the class, my score is already in the lower score bracket. and i didn't get a 95% for a 1.75. looks like i'm taking the finals. my pc is hanging constantly, and viruses have suddenly sprung up from out of nowhere. it's probably because our antivirus was recently updated, because of the scanner thing. hope it gets fixed soon.
there. all finished. even with the math finals a week away, i think it's the wiser choice not to stress over it this soon. i'll have plenty of time next week. nothing left to do but nothing, "nothing" being lying down on my bed, snuggling in my blanket, cuddling my pillow, watching nothing in particular. nothing could possibly make this night any better, except a light rain. the nights are getting cooler now. a sign of the approaching holidays? i sure hope so.
i used to take nights like these for granted. during the happier high school days (acad- and stress-wise), nights like these were a dime a dozen. of course, there were stressful times too, but never saturated in such a small period of time. i would probably spent nights like these in front of the tv, or the pc, on the phone, or some other "something". and the night would just pass me by. the value of relaxation was never instilled in me, probably because i never needed to value it before.
which makes me all the happier about my intarmed life. sleeping on the edge, skipping from one requirement to the other, long days and stressful nights, everything has prevented me from getting much needed rest. being blessed with something like this, so common before but such a treat today, is a real wake-up call. i've learned to take advantage of these rare occasions, to treasure the times when my mind is inactive, to savor every moment of relaxation i can scrape from the sides. i never know when i might get another one.
moments like these make it all worthwhile.
