School's Out

And I'm SO BORED.

I only technically finished last Thursday when I submitted my last exam but in reality I've been relaxing since I submitted my final essay for the semester on the 30th. During term there's always a list of things I'll do once I have time, but come break hey there goes all my lists and my motivation to remember what I wanted/needed to do. So I end up bored.

It's not like I've not been trying to keep busy. Every day it's not raining (which is so few recently!) I've been out walking the dogs. Since the 1st I've written over 28,000 words - I realised a few days ago I might as well do NaNoWriMo as I was basically on par with it anyway and right now I'm like, 2-3 days ahead of par. I've listened to Hamilton's soundtrack so much I've practically memorised it and I know as much of his history as I need to. I had drinks with a teacher of mine who retired and I did spend a few nights out with my brother (and his friends) and my family before he went away. I've done things.

But I'm still bored. There's nothing new to take up all my attention and I know most of my friends are still busy with Uni so I'm not going to disturb their study. Work has given me one shift for the whole month which I'm hoping will change come December.

Plus a part of me doesn't want to leave the house. Which I know is a BAD thing and will only serve to make me more bored (and possibly depressed? Spending day in, day out with only my parents will certainly do bad things to my psyche, I'm sure) but I can't counter it.

Exams are over next week. I'm going to try to get out more after that. And I know there's a new T.V show I'm looking forward to coming out on the 20th. Maybe a combination of something to do with my days and something to do with my nights will break this boredom and get me the motivation to remember and do all the things I wanted to in my holidays.
