When the Tide is Rough

The upcoming finals week did not start as auspiciously as I hoped for it to be. In fact, these last unfortunate events even came before the rain. It the weather was supposed to forewarn me of the problems, it is quite late. It is kind of annoying how almost everything bad that happens to me tend to happen on the day it rained. Perhaps that gives me a perfect explanation of why I do not like rain; it makes me paranoid and wet.

Despite the fact that I would love to rant more about my embitterment of the flawed registration system, I will not. Unless you would like to know that your life is not as bad as mine at the moment, feel free if you would like to know if I’m alright. Long story short, I am forbidden to enroll into two prerequisite classes for next semester. Now, the only alternative I have is to take two math classes that I have no knowledge of. Despite the fact that one math class is not related to the other, many people said that they regretted making the decision of taking the harder class before the easier. But whatever, I want to graduate on time.

Boy, has the time passed so quickly that I will soon have to move out the dorms. After staying here for four months now, I really can’t wait to go back home. My brothers just celebrated their birthdays, and it just saddens me that I had to miss it the first time. I stared at the facebook pictures that my brothers posted and I couldn’t help but cry. No, not the teary-eyed kind, more like the water pouring, sniffling, wah-wah kind. What bothers me even more is that I will not be able to see my family for most of the week when I’m at home. Technically, I won’t even be around for a whole weekend since I have to drive up by Sunday. I’ll find that the vacation will be slightly unproductive since I’ll be at home while my brothers and friends are at school and my sister at work. Ah, I will predict that I will be just working for my parents again, making some spare change here and there and come back up. That’s it.

It will be a lonely and short summer.
