this week

I go back to school in 3 days and I feel like writing a little appreciation post for the last week of school break. It's not like I've been doing anything different or unlikely these days, nothing particularly special, but I guess u don't have to do that stuff to make a week feel momentous. 

Besides, I've been enjoying the everyday things I do these days like the afternoon errands I run with my mother. We'd grab lunch too sometimes (if we're both hungry) and sit down at the same long table just by the food court entrance. And talk. I learned that she likes observing people's groceries and making speculations about them in her head but she shared them with me yesterday. And she did it again today at the supermarket. And then again at the hardware store. It's kind of endearing actually. Fun too. We also picked up kaya ball on our way home yesterday and we hadn't had those in a pretty long time so u best believe I had savored every. Single. Bite. It was like going all the way back to when I 1st had them. I really like running errands with my mom. That's one of the things I enjoy in life. 

And I've been studying for my boarding school entrance test which I'm taking this Sunday. It's in a whole other state. Coming all the way from a state to another, to take the test... I won't lie, I think I'd be a little sorry if I didn't get any offer. Yeah, I'd really love to go. I mean, I'm not extremely passionate about it that I'd be in despair if I didn't get to. It's no pressure. I'd just.. love to go if I got an offer. But hey, even if I didn't, then I'll try my best here. In a regular high school. Anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon. It's gonna be at least a 3-hour ride so I have to make sure I'm comfortable. Wish me luck.

 I'm also continuing this book that I haven't finished since I stopped reading it last month 'cause I was busy with moving (and procrastinating). Ah, and I'm annotating it too. I've never annotated books before so this is my 1st time. It's quite fun but it takes a longer time than just reading the book. I enjoy it though. I think it helps me widen my vocabulary. Oh, I've written poems too. U don't know this but I've actually been struggling with writer's block for such a long time. I haven't published any poems in, like, 2 or 3 months which may be the longest time I've gone without writing poetry (so far) and I even thought, "Oh, maybe I've run out of ideas forever. Maybe this is the end of my poem-writing hobby." But here we are. Don't worry, I didn't forget to pat myself on the head afterward. I haven't published them though. But I definitely will. 

There's a lot of good music that I've been discovering too, currently. 

I'm glad I've been enjoying what I do these days. I don't frequently feel bored or empty and I cherish the time I spend doing things I do daily. Hmm... I think the last week of school break is going pretty well for me. And I hope this moderate happiness stays until the end of it. Cheers to being happy! Au revoir.
