I have discovered two very important things about myslef in the last five minutes. One: free time and spare time are entirely different. When one has spare time, they attempt to catch up on what they have missed, and what they know they are behind on. At least, that is the idea... I myslef am guilty of loafing around like a Snorlax, and waiting until last minute to catch up. Then there is free time. This is that wonderful moment when you wake up on a saturday and realize that you have absolutely nothing to do that day and you get to look forward to legitimately loaf around without worrying about the consequences. This comes as a big shock to me, because I have used both kinds of time the same way. In fact, I only came up with this realization because I have made a resolution to procrastinate as little as possible from now on to prepare for the strains of college.
Secondly, I have discovered that all people go through three stages of kids stuff. Like it. Hate it. Miss it. It may not be a scientific formula. In fact, it may be a small observation that has no impact or truth in other people. Either way, it seems pretty logical when you think about it. Take Pokemon for example. I loved it as a kid. Then in middle school or so, I became convinced it was absolutely childish for a small period of time. After that phase passed, I missed it and went back to it. I do not think I will ever hate it again, although I am slowly beginning to learn to balance my love for it and my real life. I will never be anything less than a fanatic, but I have learned that there are ways to be a fanatic without weirding people out. For one, I can now talk Pokemon without saying things that will not come off as so nerdy. Take my Snorlax reference earlier. A fairly nerdy reference, but it was passing, and easy to overlook. Either way, nerds rule, that is all. With Yu-Gi-Oh, it was the same way. I loved it as a little kid, found it to be moderately intolerable as a middle schooler, and now am regretting leaving it. Nickelodeon seems to be capitalizing on this theorum as they have begun replaying old shows and, to be honest, they have suckered me in. The aforementioned anime has made a reappearance on television, and I have religiously come home every night to watch the show. I must be on my way, math competition tommorow. I have long division and synthetic division to master. So long my rare readers, I wish you the best. As always, Ace out!
