It Started Off Happy

I have officially entered Holiday Mood 2.5 days from my last exam on Thursday. In Holiday Mood, I half-assedly study and tell myself, "Well, it's better than nothing." This means I stop following my 40 minutes studying, 10 minutes playing roster and start doing five minutes on and off, here and there and everywhere.

Dad came home from Taiwan on Saturday. He was away for nearly a month. He brought back ridiculous amounts of food and took pictures of nearly every meal. Making me proud, that one. He brought back not one but three taro cakes, three boxes of pineapple tarts and a box of black sesame mochi. I thought taro cake was just pretty (you know, it's purple and I'm a girl etc.) but it kind of tastes like sweet heaven. I wouldn't mind going to there.

I had this idea the other day/night that I should start an all female self-defence kickboxing class. I would be the instructor. This would be a brilliant idea except I don't know how to kickbox and have never kickboxed in my entire life. I also suck at connecting with large masses of people. I also refuse to exercise in the presence of other people. But still, it was a nice thought.

I was reading a blog just now. I started going through the archives and was reading back until 2010. This girl had a boyfriend and, in 2010, posted a lot of pictures of her and her boyfriend. They were cute, I think they were living together. And then I thought, "Well, shit, I don't remember seeing her boyfriend in her recent posts." So, of course I spent the next 20 minutes going through her recent posts and instagram shots, trying to look for evidence of her boyfriend. He was absent and I came to the conclusion they must have broken up between 2010 and now.

For some reason, this makes me so sad. To go from living together and being in love to nothing. Perhaps not even knowing what that person is doing with their life, where they are living, if they're happy. I will struggle greatly the first time I break up with a boyfriend and will likely be so affected that I will trace their movements for the rest of their life.

This is the blog if anyone is interested: http://blushingambition.blogspot.com.au/

Alright, that's more than five minutes. Back to "study."
