The Yin and Yangs of Summer Vacation

The last day of classes. So many students wait for it patiently and sometimes less patiently than others. When it finally comes, students bid their farewells to their friends and rejoice that, like that Alice Cooper song, “School’s out for Summer.”

No more pencils.

No more books.

No more teacher’s dirty looks.

So it’s summer time already. There is approximately 2 or 2 and a half months till the start of a new school year. There is so much time to spend, but how can students spend it?

On the plus side, there is the possibility that you can spend your time at the beach, visit relatives in the province, fly to a different country, learn a new language, or spend some family bonding time.

But what about my vacation? The first day of my first year at college stars at (most likely) the first week of May. I can’t go to the beach, a new country, the province or anywhere outside the house. Why, you ask? Because my father does not have as much money as he used to, my mom earns less that she used to, I have no car and if I was to hang out with my friends, I can’t since my best friend is in Singapore and the rest of my barkada are not in Manila.

So far, I would rather be in school than be stuck at home. Despite the whole-day internet, I have nothing else to do. Oh, and it is HOT. It did rain earlier today but it just made the atmosphere more humid. I can’t sleep at night since I have too much left over energy for doing not a lot during the day… All I do now is surf the internet (same old, same old) and watch Yukan Club <-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!

I think I’ll just waste my summer by downloading hacks fixing the games on my PSP.

Ciao.
