I am officially out of job for a month and a day.
I have spent most of my month and a day at home. Sleeping at 5am, waking at 1pm, surfing the net, reading fics and watching TDS & TCR clips from 1pm to 5am (except for all the times my presence is required in classes and/or outside). I remember less than a week after my first day of unemployment, bro commented on how quickly I fell back into my old
pillaging ways of sleeping late, waking later and doing nothing all day. I concur. I was not surprised at how easily I let myself fall back into my old ways but I am a bit disappointed at how I don't have the motivation to do what I told myself I would do when I finally break free. Like go swimming. Or skip some rope (well to be fair, I did skip some rope the other day). The inertia is strong in this one.
It wasn't until 22 days after my work stoppage that I was suddenly jolted into thinking, my, it's already 22nd of October. Everyday seem to blend together. And not in a nice trippy way. It's all a dull monotonous drift. And since that day, I have been trying to wake up earlier and getting out of the house by 11am to go anywhere. Ended up sleeping at 5am and waking at 1pm and not getting out of the house coz it's sort of after 11am.
Need.
Motivation.
Now.
...How?
Oh, and also. Bought books from Kino. Bought books from Amazon. Bought radio/remote thing for the Touch (yay radio!). Watched 3 movies in one day. Wrote a fic. Accompanied aunt to A&E. JB'd my Touch (yay pirate!). Really need to finish my essay.
