It's Summer Break (Exclamation Points)

Posted by Tomy | Posted in , , , | Posted on 1:30 PM


Finally, I’m home. I won’t be babbling away on how happy I am now that I’d finally get two months of rest and that I deserve a break, etc., etc. Although by saying that I kind of did already.

Anyway, I have lots of plan for the summer and all of them do not involve getting out of the house. Yeah, what a gimp. It’s just that making huge plans like looking for a summer job or travelling or going out every then and again for some partying just never come about for real, not to mention the last two require some money which I don’t have at the moment. Maybe it’ll be simpler if I stay realistic and focus on the stuff that would more probably happen. Like me burying myself in books and sitting all day on my TV series/movie marathons. Now that’s very easy to do. And that’s exactly what I’m planning to do.

I spent some time over the last week buying books and stocking them for the summer. So far it seems like I’ll be engrossing myself in science-fiction-y Michael Crichton stuff. I bought a hardcover of Prey (for Php55) and a paperback of Congo for only Php17 (you have no idea what I put up to just to see that cheapest copy ever). I would probably resume reading A Case of Need, which was given to me by my roommate. I also had a sweet Php255-purchase of Insomnia by literary lion Stephen King. Then there are other unread books in my shelf (One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Running with Scissors, etc.) that I ought to start reading. Honestly, I had the urge to buy more books, but I figured that that will only make me even more financially incapable of going to our planned Mindoro trip this April.

In between reading time, I plan on catching up on some TV series I like, but stopped watching sometime in their latest season. There’s Fringe, The Good Wife, Grey’s Anatomy, Cougar Town, and Chuck. Also, I’m yet to continue watching Raising Hope. It’s a very quirky show. You should watch it. Yeah, mostly I feast on shows that do not require a lot of thinking (except maybe for Fringe), because practically TV series are my relief from all the stress of the real world (yes, drama).

Of course, there will be lots of movies to watch.

Also, I have like four articles to write (all of which were supposed to be submitted earlier), so maybe I’ll finish all of them before I start on my boring plans. I can actually spare time to think of a good thesis title, too, now that I’m an upcoming third year student. But that’s pretty unlikely of me.


So basically this post is an expression of how I’d spend the summer inside the house, in front of book pages and my laptop, and how much of a dork I am. Well, I’m sorry you had to read all these. Anyway, you didn’t have to. Why’d you read it, anyway? Oh, go to hell.

So what?
