Who would have thought?
I dislike the month of June. Ever since I turned 20, there is bound to be an event or two in my birthday month that makes me upset.
June is the month I dread most emotionally. It’s always the mood swinging month for me. There’s always something that makes me upset but then there’s the endless banquets I end up having because of nice people around me who know what an epicure I am. I am always so thankful for all the gastronomic creations I’m treated to. There will be parties with different groups of friends and sometimes they’ll last for a whole week – like 5 or 7 days with good food and great company. I’m really very fortunate – I know – and am always counting my blessings. But when ‘life’ resumes, I become upset again because I know I’ve aged without getting my goals achieved.
The first major June casualty has struck. I wouldn’t say I’m upset but it’s just regrettable. I wish I had thought through it – thought more and deliberated even more. This could have been avoided if I had done more research and kept my crazy intuitive streak in check.
Well actually if I had to be really tough on myself, today’s episode is my second June casualty; I’d say my first June tragedy was submitting my Europe essay a day late. I HAVE NEVER EVER SUBMITTED ASSIGNMENTS LATER THAN THE DUE DATE IN MY UNIVERSITY LIFE, except for legitimate extensions when I was unwell, so this was a dent in my self-esteem and my pristine record.
Oh well. I’m still pretty undecided on this current episode. Things may change – who knows? June was never my month since I turned 20. But this incident, compared to my other June sagas of 20, 21 and 22 years old is nothing. Still, it’s too soon to say because there’s still 14 days of June I’ve to live through. It’s gonna be a long long long month – not to mention the long wait for the results on 8 July.
In happier, nerdier news: I’m predicting what I call the ‘new wave of representative democracy’. I think I should write something about it… soon… Yeah what nonsense, what new wave? It’s more of the same old crap replicated around the world. Do you still have faith in democracies? I would like to but what I see is too few cooks in the kitchen calling the shots and spoiling the broth instead of the ideal ‘many cooks spoil the broth’ in a democracy. Heck, everyone spoils the broth. Can we not spoil the broth?
