Another Time Perhaps

A brief respite in what has been an occupying week.

At long last, I finally got a pair of Adidas Originals. It seemed that I wouldn't get it.

The first outlet I went to didn't have my size. So they reserved a pair for me at another outlet. Since I started school late the next day, I dropped down to town in the morning to go get it. I managed to try on the reserved pair, only to realize that Originals shoes have a wider cut than Adidas Indoor Soccer shoes (the kind I usually get) so I needed half a size smaller.

And of course, that store that I was at, didn't have my size. Just my luck.

The only store that did? The store I first went to the other night.

And not only that, they only had one pair left.

It was on the mannequin!

I had no choice but to get it. They did say it was new and untouched. It seemed quite like that when I inspected it.

The pair of shoes set me back a nice sum. To make matters worse, I bought a pair of (overpriced!) Adidas socks just so it could feel like a 'complete' purchase.

Talk about acting on impulse.

I don't know why it's so difficult to find a pair of 11 or 11 1/2's. I think a lot of people have feet my size. Well, not too many but I feel that Adidas under-stocks shoes of these sizes. Hence the problem.

My mom wanted to change some notes with me, and upon seeing the terrible condition of my wallet, she promptly gave me extra cash and told me to get a new wallet.

Can't be too mad about that, can I?

Other than that, in general, I'm feeling the pain of clashing schedules.

It ties in with the previous post of doing what I have to do and what I want to do.

I wish I could blow off my responsibilities and just go and have fun. I have two invitations to go out and have fun on Friday. One is a gathering and the other is just a day out with a dear friend to help her find some stuff.

But I can't do either one because of this responsibility.

Sigh. Sometimes I wish I was enough of a reckless rebel to just up and leave when I feel like it. Sadly I'm not.

I know that I have to carry out this responsibility for the simple reason that it's the right thing to do.

It's what I would expect of myself, others (even my friends) and it's probably what they would expect of me. To do the right thing.

Another chance goes begging. That's all I'll say to end this part.

On another note, United are in the Champions League Final! It was a nervy game to watch.

This Saturday is the 1st of two final games that if we win, will see us wrap up the league title.

I think I've mentioned this before.

I've realized the value of a United game at the weekend. After a really busy week, I can just really forget about all that happened and instead, for 90 minutes, invest all my emotions in my favourite team.

It's like a real treat after the ups and downs of the week.

And I just realized, that the season is ending soon. And the school semester just started. Gulp.

The European Championships are going to be on and I am interested, but not on the same level.

Oh dang it. What am I to do...

The first few weeks after the league season ends are the hardest. Withdrawal symptoms kick in after you turn on the telly on a Saturday night and realize there's nothing on except for repeat matches. That's not fun at all.

Remember when I asked for my life to be more 'happening'?

I think I can't do that even if I want to cos there's always something else I have to attend to first.

The Bottom Line

You have been doing too many things on the go lately, and this pace has to stop.

In Detail

You have been doing too many things on the go lately, and this reckless pace has to stop. Sure, you've been promising yourself for days that you were going to cut back and get some downtime, but when are you going to come through on that promise? Make that day today. Cancel or postpone whatever you can and give yourself a few hours of nothing to do. Being productive or busy is not the same thing as being happy. You need to reconnect with yourself and just chill out.

Yeah I wish I could. Well not totally, I still want to go for those two invatations to go and have fun.

I'm a slacker that always seems to have work to do. Go figure.
