Surviving the Week
Well, I took a break on the last scheduled post because that Perspective release was considered a “big” thing. Mock exams (to mock us, obviously) are coming up in about a weeks time, and I am disgusted with my current state of revision – or lack of it. Why I am still typing this blog post I don’t know, but I think it’s great to share a bit about what’s going on (or whatever I deem suitable for online viewing – which isn’t much).
Today is penguin day. That’s because it’s a Friday. The story behind this was during my work experience, where apparently Fridays were when people would come late to work, and bum around most of the day – hence bringing along the slang term of “waddling”. This then slowly evolved into the weekly celebration of Penguin day. I’ve taken this into my own schedule, meaning Fridays are the days when I am more slack than usual. This usually leads to either a 8:30PM curfew or a 2:30AM curfew, depending on what I indulge myself in.
The past week I’ve been home alone. Aside from the shortened periods of sleep time and slightly less bother on privacy (OK – let’s stray away from the TMI swamps), some of the more interesting revelations on “how to live like a lazy bum” were reallised.
For example, only use a fork. If it’s soup, just tilt the plate/bowl/saucepan back and slurp it up. A spoon isn’t required. A knife? That’s why we have teeth, you know. To carnivorously rip apart our food.
Just eat straight from the saucepan you cook in. This saves you having to wash a plate, and the absolute requirement of you having to wash the pan before your next meal serves as an indirect form of motivation to do the “dishes”. If you’re having toast, that’s even easier, you don’t need any cutlery nor dishes.
Trash? You don’t need a trash bag. Just dump it in a common area (you’ll create hardly any trash anyway – just the regular packaging) and every morning before you go out to school – because you’re going out anyway, throw it in the outside bin. If you purchase take away food from outside, eat it whilst walking home. By the time you’ve reached home, you would’ve already been able to dispose of the
garbage.
Cleaning up your room/bed/any sort of house cleaning can be neglected for a couple days. If you don’t bother to sleep on your bed, you don’t need to clean it. If you don’t bother to turn on the lights, draw the curtains, open the windows or even turn on the aircon, these are less little minorities you have to bother about.
Dirty laundry can also be minimized if you don’t bother to change your clothes or bother to wear anyt- ok. Danger zone.
Alright – that was enough of for a “personal life” post. I promise the next post won’t be random and will actually be related to technology – and really interesting. I also apologize for the image if it has scarred any of you.
