I missed school today. Not miss as in yearn, but as in not attend. I guess the lack of rest for the past weeks has finally taken its toll on me. Not to mention the heatiness and the crazy weather. And probably, my aunty scarlet has to take some blame as well.
I was kept awake all night with a scratchy throat and insomnia set in while I felt increasingly feverish. By the time it was morning, I barely slept for two hours. Yet I was immobile in bed. Simply unable to even roll out. So I decided to declare a holiday for myself. To get my deserved sleep and to avoid the stress of having to face my schoolwork.
Who was I trying to kid?
By the time it was noon, I was out of bed and was buried under a pile of untouched assignments and reports. And hearing from my classmate the things I missed at school today, the stress level could only go up. So much for a 'holiday'.
Well, now I'm back in hall and I'm missing the comfort of my home - the smell of my mother's new year cookies in the oven, my sis' non-stop chatter and company. Sometimes I wonder why I'm putting myself through so much struggle. What am I going to get out of all this? A pathetic science degree so I can wash test-tubes for the rest of my life? This is not what I'd meant to do, ever.
For now, I hope I get well soon so I can work my way into the boxes of home-made almond cookies and pineapple tarts... Mmmmm..... one of the few things I actually like about Chinese New Year!
