High School

Last night, my friend said, "I really regret it right now. I wish I was able to spend my free time in high school wisely, doing the things that I enjoy but couldn't do now in college."

I thought about this. I suppose I couldn't really say the same thing for myself. I would admit, I was very lazy when I was still a high school student: I never studied after classes; most of the time I would do my assignments the morning before I go to school, or when I was already in school; I would only study for an exam the day before it, and so on. All I did then was read a bunch of books (Who on earth would regret doing this?). I was actually scolded more than once for being caught reading a novel while the teacher was discussing in front. Shame, I know, but hey - I loved every minute of it. Aside from that, I would spend hours surfing the net, watching anime, and reading manga. I always had something to do, and the majority of those stuff were unrelated to academics. I would practice playing the violin, I would continue writing my novel, I would start on a new story, etcetera. In a way, I was quite productive for a highschooler.

I miss those times. I haven't resumed writing my novel for almost a year now. Back when I was still a UPLB student during the first semester, I made sure that I would write at least a chapter a week, or every two weeks. I was very motivated, I was being a creative writer once again. But today, I don't think I'm capable of pulling off such a feat, what with the tedious and stressing second semester.

I absolutely miss watching anime continuously, as if there weren't tomorrow. I was very updated back then; but now, I am so behind several series, so much so that my brother seems to be more of an otaku than I am. I have copied a lot of animes from him, but whether I'd have the time to watch them or not is still the question.

I need to start now: watch one episode of Kuroko no Basuke, despite the fact that I still have to study for physics and math. I need something to cheer me up.
