the calm before the storm


Today was awesome because after, what, seven years? -- I have finally completed my collection of Harry Potter books. For some reason I never bought the third one before but now I can say I have rectified that situation. I also got The Great Gatsby and a Sylvia Plath poetry collection among other things so life is good.

I love Sundays, but they're like the calm before the storm. I get to relax, but I can never feel 100% at ease because I'm always aware that tomorrow I'll be back in school and doing homework and generally feeling stressed. It's doubly like that right now because with only a month left of school, everything is going to get harder before it gets easier. I'm bracing myself for an onslaught of projects and studying for finals and I'm not really excited about that at all. I'm not even really excited for summer, honestly, because that means another year will have gone by too quickly and I don't have that many plans yet. I just want to live in this moment, reading and eating dinner with my family and taking a well-deserved nap, and not worry about everything else.

On a lighter note, you guys need to stop me before I get addicted to any more TV shows. It's getting embarrassing. If I ever mention wanting to start watching another one, just leave me vaguely threatening comments. And don't forget to mention it was my idea, or I might get offended. Anyway, I'm off to watch The Office.

  1. Sundays feel more like the end of the weekend than the beginning of the week to me, if that even makes any sense. It's like I know Monday is coming, and I dread it. It's inevitable. Unless, like, the rapture happens, or something.

  3. The trick to not getting obsessed is watching a few different shows...you should check out Psych while you're at it ;) (I didn't like it at first, but it grows on you.)

  4. I love Saturdays more than Sundays, Sundays make me feel stressed because so many things have to be done.. :)

  5. I can definitely relate! Sundays for me are usually a combination of stress and calm, but I'm always dreading having to get back into routine the next day!

  6. Maybe I'm just fueling your addiction but KENDALL WATCH FREAKS & GEEKS!!! Because I don't have anyone to talk to about it and it's AMAZING. And only one season and on youtube with Spanish subtitles which is basically revision for you, no?

  8. I think you've just about seen all the shows I ardently follow, so you don't need to worry about me coercing you into watching any others. Because I know that would be a big concern for you.
