I am bored

Halfway through the current school break, I have come to the not so startling conclusion, I am bored. The old adage 'the grass looks greener on the other side' certainly rings true, considering I was hankering so much for the break during the last few weeks of school that I could not focus on my final exams. Oh, I also promptly flunked a couple of subjects, which certainly put a damper on the holiday mood.

Considering that I was constantly telling myself to do badly for my finals, the realisation I sucked so bad was a bitter pill to swallow. I also have to face a realistic consequence in being sent to a so-called non-elite class. Since all the best students are all grouped into the best class, an interesting series of potentially scenarios have cropped up.

I mean, who the hell are we going to rely on when the teacher poses a question and she expects an answer, else she will detain us for whatever depraved experiments she has in store? Or where are we supposed to get answers for our homework? These questions have been posed many times during the past semester, and the answer has always been the same, a select few elites are always the problem solvers. Meanwhile, the rest of us idiots wordlessly mimic them. An apt description would be as such, one fine day, a race of malevolent aliens bent on human extermination yet are too cheap to spend too much, invades earth and takes away all the scientists, doctors and whatever geniuses we happen to have. The rest of us mediocre folks will either be panicking or just plain stupid to be aware.

I am digressing. Anyway back to being bored. My daily activities have settled into something akin to Groundhog Day. The routine is usually broken up by the odd outing where I hang out with my friends. These are the instances where I see my mates, and I can get real human interaction. Unfortunately, blogging does not put food on the table, so I have to limit my excursions.

My saving grace would be my running I guess. After all the boredom where days seem to meld together, I find that running keeps me going, pun intended. No wonder people say runners turn out to be single-minded, obsessive people.
