    Chapter 2 - Tomato Curry

    A change from complaining about weird things out of boredem.
     
    Don't worry, I won't be talking about tomato and curry. I've never even tried such a thing. But it must really taste weird. On second thought, it might actually taste good. hehe.
     
    The summer air is filled with the warmth and smell of happiness. When I first was able to look past the present, I found a feeling of vastness that is so fulfilling. Lying down on the grass, smelling the freshness of the fruits and vegetables in my back yard and looking at the blue-green shades above me, I let the wind blow through me. I thought at that moment 'this must be what happiness is' and then, I just stared into eternity without a single thought in my head. Had I the luxury, I would have spend every day like that. 因为有那一天,我觉得我可能是着世界上最幸福的人了!
     
    But the rest of summer was full of commotion. First there was summer class and the hectic discussion board caused by the teacher's vague instructions. Then there were all the appointments that I had made thinking that summer classes weren't going to take more than an hour or two a day. Boy was I wrong! Finally, come exam time, was happy to be finished. The next day, I stood before the mess that was my room (and my half of the study room) and gained a headache over the amount of filling I'd have to do. Many boxes, folders, dividers, and plastic wrappers later, I was done! Just in time for the dentist appointment the next day. I got drugged for 4 days (with laughing gas and tylenol) just for taking out 4 wisdom teeth. The thing was, the 5th day was painful like hell, my face was swollen like a balloon and I couldn't eat even though my parents had a party. Hungry and bruised, the week of torture ended for me.
     
    That was the end of july. At the begining of August, I started writing all those essays and stuff for scholarships. Some friends called and we wend out shopping all day and watched a movie in between. The way home from the mall left me as a drenched cat (it suddenly started to pour). So I caught a cold, and then really got sick after breathing smoke and dust from the bus ride to the orthopediatrist's place. There's piles of physics homework and math that I need to straighten out (almost done now? I don't even know). Somewhere in between there, my family went out twice to some picnic places and I got full days of sun. Dad and mom didn't argue. I was really happy for that. ^^
     
    That's gonna be my entire summer.
    I ended up not having a speck of time left.
    I wonder what would have happened if I got a job.
     
    Would I have died...
     
    Oh right, I watched something called 'suicide manual'
    Don't watch it. It's really bad. I mean, all the ways of suicide in there, I've thought of them all even though I've never seriously thought about suicide issues. I really dont' think seriously about suicide... although some people may think so because I joke about jumping off a building sometimes.
     
    well, that's all.
    My summer report I guess.
    Got so used to doing them.
