Yes, I understand my title of this post is ironic. I mean, how can anyone be unhappy or worried during HOLIDAYS?
Well, my holiday started on Tuesday, two days ago, and I am already bombarded with problems.
First, my father was hospitalised on Tuesday and he was discharged today. I have never faced a more difficult patient. He eats all medicine, whether he needs it or not. He keeps getting diagnosed with different illnesses. He has been in and out of hospital at least three times this year and it is only April. He is temperamental, obstinate and self-centered.
I know I shouldnt say these things, but I am absolutely fed up with all that I have to face just because I am an only child.
Secondly, my mother is a temperamental temperamental temperamental women. Severe taskmaster too. Whatever I do, it is never enough. I help out at home, she says I never do anything at home to help her. I want to go out, she says I keep going out. What the hell, I hardly go out with my friends! Once in three months is 'keep going out'?! Mental!
She takes forever to make decisions, yet she wants people to walk fast, move fast and do things fast. Speed is her ultimate concern.
Just another problem for an only child.
Thirdly, I am awaiting news for my job applications. I am particularly interested in one but I am unsure of my interview performance. I always sucked at interviews, so I am glad that particular interview was through the phone. However, the way I spoke made me sound ill-informed and dumb. Will I get the job? It is a permanent part time job and I love the job scope! Haiz.
Also, getting a job means more money and I can save up more, spend more, plan more mini projects.
Besides, I want to get out of the house! Alone!
Fourth, my room needs to be cleared out! It is in a mess, well, as messy as an organised person like me can make it. Vain little me is deciding what items to donate and how to rearrange my room. I do this practically every holiday I get.
Fifth, I have to get ready practise questions for my students. Awesome, when my holidays are here and I dont go to school to print. Wonderful.
Well, I am just glad I only have these FEW problems to deal with. I am still much better than those with life-threatening illnesses and other woes.
Count me blessed. BUT I STILL WANT SCHOOL TERM TO START AGAIN!
