   Tonight I came home with a big plan in my head: to finish the writing assignment for English class. I was instructed to write a conclusion/reflection about the English festival. I though it would be easy work, since I only had too much to say about my last performance on the stage of Huafu.

   At first, I opened Microsoft Office and (unfortunately) two social networks. For the next twenty minutes I had been busy reading the updates of my friends, posting on someone's wall to say "happy birthday", replying some of the comments I got on my weibo, and doing everything that was unrelated to writing the article.

   After twenty minutes slipped away, I suddently realized it was time for me to start writing. So I did. And ten minutes later, I found out that I had only squeezed ten sentences out of my brain. The words didn't make sense. The structure was a mess. And I had no idea how to proceed.

   So I spent another ten minutes browsing my facebook page, trying to regain the feeling of writing in English. And after ten minutes had passed, I realized that it was a stupid excuse for me to procrastinate. So I went back to writing.

   This time it went smoother. But again, I had no idea what I was writing about. For the first paragraph, I wrote about my feelings when the English evening was over. In the second paragraph, I complained about how the teachers stopped me from becoming the host last year. And in the next paragraph, I explained why I had been so active in parcipating in this year's English festival.

   Blah blah blah.

   I stopped writing, and went on to weibo to update my status and complain about how worse my English writing had become. It was already eleven thirty at night, and no one even cared about what I had just updated. After having refresehd the page for like a hundred times, I decided that I was not going to get a comment anyway, so I closed the webpages and started writing this article.

 

   I concluded what I should and should not do for the next two weeks before the mid-terms:

1. I should start preparing for my SAT 2 and AP exams.

2. I should start having regular meals in the school cafeteria with my friends instead of my laptop.

3. I should only use my laptop from 12:05 to 13:30 and 22:10 to 23:00.

4. I should not use weibo, renren, or facebook until the end of this week.

5. I should finish reading The Shallows and other books that have been placed on my bookshelf (untouched) for decades.

6. I should start talking to my mom, which can be hard, because she will only be even more you-should-do-this-but-not-that-and-how's-your-day-and-how's-your-study after a week of disconnection from me

7. I should not use TV shows to fill the loneliness in my heart (created by the long distance between me and my best friend, who is in Romania and who constantly urges me to paint my nails regardless of the school rules)

8. I should start to cultivate my interest in biology

9. I should start to cultivate my interest in math

10. I should start to cultivate my interest in Chinese

11. I should not stop loving English

12. I should not procrastinate every single day

13. I should not be so narcissistic or taking photos of myself everyday

14. I should start to make the second episode of my video series

15. I should not sleep after 12:00 pm.

 

Which is why I have to stop writing this non-sense.

 

Hopefully, this will mark another stage in my miserably monotonous life.

 

Goodnight (Good morning).
