I’m stocking up on sleep for summer, which probably sounds weird to everyone reading this but I will explain. During the school-year weekends is usually when I get the most sleep for the year; I rarely get more than eight hours of sleep on any summer night. So what’s so bad about that? Well from June 15th to August 31st I become an insomniac and, 6 out of 7 days, can’t fall asleep at anytime earlier than two in the morning. I dread it every year and it is as annoying as hell, which is one of the many things why, despite popular opinion, summer is NOT the best season.
Reason 1: I become a zombie from the hours of 10 at night to 8 in the morning (see above).
Reason 2: I’m lucky if I see three friends in the entire expanse of the two-and-a-half months, and then when school starts again everyone I liked the year before is on the other side of the building.
Reason 3: There tends to be almost nothing to do during summer, especially in late-July and August when it’s either too hot or humid to play basketball… so I become even more addicted to video games than before.
Reason 4: I always think, going into summer, that I’m going to get more writing done then than during the school year. Truthfully… I finish NOTHING during summer. In my three years of writing I’ve finished 11 short stories. 2 of the were done during summer.
Reason 5: There is nothing on my mind during summer whatsoever, so I tend to dig into various vices a little more than usual.
Reason 6: Lastly… IT’S TOO DAMN HOT!
Yeah. I’m pathetic. Yeah. I know school’s out and that makes summer awesome in itself. Yeah. I know- SHUT UP! Summer is not all it’s cracked up to be! おちおち眠れない.
