Weekends are such a two edged sword.
This is the only time I have to catch up on both sleep and homework. I have a ton of homework, so I'm typically up until one or two, and then back up again around 6:30 to talk with my family before they go to bed. The weekends really help with that. Then, there's so much vocabulary that I'm trying to learn, so I am a machine, memorizing everything. I sleep late, and take naps. By Sunday I'm ready to go to school with some energy.
But there comes a time my brain is full, and I just can't study anymore. I have other homework that I can do, but even that ends up needing to come to an end.
Now what?
Well tonight, I went over to a neighbor's house, but a friend had said she wanted to study. It always seems better if I'm speaking out loud, and learning that way. So, I left my neighbor's house early, and got here, only to have her not next me she was not coming until I've been sitting at home alone for half an hour. I'd still be there if she hadn't said she was coming.
Sigh.
So what is there to do?
I can't do a movie. Too much room for thinking. I could start another book, but that puts me to sleep, and has been my main mode of entertainment. I'm kind of tired of reading.
I could clean my apartment, but other than taking out the garbage, there really isn't much to do. I'm not here much because it feels like a great big prison when I'm here. Cleaning somehow is an admission that this is my current home.
So Friday night...and I'm homesick.
Lucky for me, Skype exists. My mom called me, and I talked for a long time, using up most of the rest of my internet. It was just what I needed. Sometimes, you just need your mom. Love you!
