I am BORED OUT OF MY MIND.
This whole summer I spent most of my weekends in the city so I had very little time at home. Between working all week and weekends in Manhattan, I forgot how DRY this place can be during the weekend. Now that I'm back spending weekends at home, it is killing me slowly. I am actually thinking of adding one more class to my fall schedule just so I have something to do on weekends!
You know what they say about an idle mind...this is the kind of mood that can prompt you to do something stupid out of sheer boredom, like start a fire or call an ex or buy stuff you don't need. (At least one of those crossed my mind, guess which ones)
Its just unfortunate.
I seriously dislike this feeling. Aren't these supposed to be the "best years"? Why am I wasting them at home with nothing to do? Sheesh!
In other news, today my mom said she wants me to move out of the house by the end of the year! This statement was spurred by my apparent "defiance".
I think this is great news! As you may know I was going to move out anyway, but to hear her say this makes me so much happier. Now I don't have to worry about her trying to convince me otherwise when I announce my plans.
Of course, I don't know how she'll react when she hears where I might be moving to and with whom. Ah well. Like she said, I'm an "adult" now.
I just find it hilarious that she said that at my age I shouldn't be acting "defiant" to her. Err...excuse me, of course I'm "defiant"! Its because I am not a child anymore and I have a brain of my own which doesn't always agree with hers. She should expect defiance from a 20-something year old. "Defiance" should only be a surprise if your child is young and still relies on you for their daily support. Parental logic never ceases to amaze me.
Also, the way she started the conversation seriously should have made me annoyed. It began thusly:
Her: You said you aren't going to medical school anymore right?
Me: Err...
Her: So I think its time to move out, there's nothing more we're doing for you.
Me: Okayy....
Her: I mean the MBA is only one year of school so you can move out and do that
Me: (quickly debated whether or not to correct her, then decided not to)...Okay
Her: So since you don't have any further education planned...
After beginning the conversation this way, there was the whole schpiel about me being "defiant", and she was spurred by my leaving a dirty plate in the sink (I just didn't feel like washing it, so sue me). As you can see she is STILL not over my decision to drop medical school and in her opinion the MBA might as well be a second high school diploma. Apparently if I wasn't being so "lazy" and I still planned to attend medical school then it would be okay for me to stay at home.
Na wah oh. I'm just happy I didn't blow up at her. A few months ago I would have, but I didn't.
Sha, like I said in my previous previous post, next year is going to be a fun year full of "hope and change". 2011 here we come!
So, what do you do to beat weekend boredom? I need ideas! This weekend just seems so, blah...
