Ah, Summer you elude my grasp
I beckon you to be in palm’s clasp
Come quickly now, leave me not
Else I crumple in fear I shall rot
**** yes crappy poem or rather set of phrases****
I remembered when I was in high school, when one of the most important parts of existence was the summer vacation. Whenever I was in school I would always spend some time longing for the summer. I’d gaze out the window, conjuring up what I would do with my spare time.
I think that I would long for summer because it represented freedom.
A freedom to be Lazy
A freedom to be Irresponsible
A freedom to do something else other than stare at a blackboard and be cooped up in a boring classroom with boring teachers
A freedom to prepare for something else other than quizzes
Or rather a freedom to prepare for nothing at all
A freedom to do nothing except what I want (for a change)
A freedom to escape the rules that the real world imposed (there’s an imaginary world? @_@ Yes there is, we all have one, don’t deny it +_+`)
(Doesn’t it sound just like suicide? Yes. If you think like this every once in a while, you have suicidal ideation. Don’t worry its healthy…provided you do it once in a while. ^_^ )
Was it because I didn’t like the reality I had then? Perhaps.
But I was surer that it was because reality could get a little overwhelming sometimes.
Of course when I was in college, there were two breaks, October and 2 weeks or less from April and May. (We had summer classes! It was Mandatory ok! ~_~`)
March…I feel strange.
I don’t have that exhilarating sense of anticipation any more. I feel like something was stolen from me. I wonder if this is part of growing up. I wonder if it’s because I’ve come to accept reality. Is this why adults don’t give much importance to summer. It’s just another month. ( I wonder if this is how it feels to be married to someone that you don’t find exciting anymore ERK! @_@` CRAP!)
March…I feel empty.
My unparalleled ANTICIPATION for summer has been replaced by a large heap of APATHY. (can’t stop whining about it…it’s MARCH its supposed to be an EXPECTED feeling)
Oh yeah and the irony is! I might start work in APRIL! Y_Y`
March…I wish I could have this feeling again. =_=`
