As you may be wondering why I am so jobless, I'll update you to the fact that I quit my job in January this year to become a full time student. Now my exams are over and I only have classes on Saturdays, which makes me a free bird for the other 6 days of the week. I have do not have cable TV, nor do I have a computer (mine broke down a month ago), nor do I have anyone to even speak to until my mum comes home from work at 2pm.
There is a list of things that my mum rattles off when I complain that I'm suffering from extreme boredom, but she fails to see why I can't do those things. Since she won't hear me through, I'm gonna put it down so that at least my similarly afflicted comrades may relate to my thoughts.
- Writing- I have the words in my head but no computer to type it in. When I sit in front of this ancient father of all computers in the cheapest internet cafe in town and stare at the dusty keyboard (and the scattered ants picking their way through through the keys) words fail me. I spend my 30 rupees in vain by browsing through random trolls on facebook, none of them succeeding in exercising my facial muscles an inch. Oh well, I cannot write when I want to write, I have to be inspired.
- Card Making- How can I be expected to make cards when I don't have any pretty materials to make them with? Lately my handmade greeting cards feature newspaper cutouts and backdrops of newsprint (I tell people I'm doing my bit for the environment) since they are the most freely available material around my house.
- Cake making- How many cakes can one make? And how in heaven's name are you supposed to not eat the delectable thing you just created? And how will one maintain a presentable figure with regular consumption of such delightful poisons??? groooannn........
And the list goes on and on and on............... And in the meantime, I'll continue killing myself with boredom.
