{too much free time is dangerous}

i planned this weekend around one activity: studying. really. after all, i DID promise myself in the beginning of this semester that i would turn into the nerd i never was. But no. These past few days, i couldn't bear to do anything law-related or be reminded of my miserable non-existence as a law student.

per my thursday blog entry, i happily enjoyed the life of a hermit. then yesterday, i went bowling with a friend in the afternoon. bowling is actually quite fun. when you're winning that is. oops. i wasn't winning pala. he was just being nice and graciously allowed me an automatic 50-point lead to compensate for my pathetic bowling skills, or lack thereof. hahaha. then in the evening, i met up in metrowalk with a couple of friends from high school. we basically pigged out the whole night (oops, i think i was the only one pigging out...hahaha) over persian food (the place we went to was so NOT worth it, i'm sorry), ice cream, chocolate, and popcorn. after metrowalk, we headed to sidebar cafe in el pueblo where i watched them drink these interesting-looking concoctions which in my personal opinion would taste MUCH better sans the alcohol (hey, it's my personal opinion...hehe). then we headed to mica's house and watched this thai horror flick entitled shutter. i think i probably woke up her neighbors with all my screaming because even before we started to watch the movie, her hyper pet dog started chasing after me and pouncing on me. in retrospect, it was actually quite funny since i was so freaked out and my friends were just doubled up on the floor laughing their heads off (gee thanks, guys..hehe). what probably made it funnier was the fact that they were trying to calm both me and the dog down ("marley, calm down. arianne, calm down.") not one of my finest moments, i tell you. but despite that, it was a pretty enjoyable evening.

made me realize how much i miss college. and high school, even. and made me think about what my life would be like if i actually were NOT studying law in the "grand manner." i could actually have more time to study languages. continue muay thai. learn to play an instrument. save the world. or at least change it. but no. i feel like i'm not moving forward and i'm more a liability than i am an asset. it didn't help that the message of this morning's talk i attended in tanglaw pretty much was this: change the world (of course it was more eloquently articulated). it just made me feel gray and old and useless. and kind of sad, even. and believe you me, i hate feeling sad. :( and to make matters worse, i think i am spreading my negativity to those whom i interact with. not only to those whom i see face-to-face but also to those whom i talk with over ym.

on the bright side, advent started today. plus it's 23 days til christmas (woohoo!). nothing like a little christmas cheer to help me overcome my cloudiness. hrm, maybe i should try not to get too addicted to these long weekends. too much free time is dangerous. i should be studying more. haha.
