Relaxation VS Finals

The Thanksgiving break is about to get over in some hours. Today is Sunday and I am sitting in my living room writing this blog while my final papers and how to do what about them goes at the back of my mind.

This Thanksgiving break was THE MOST RELAXING TIME I had since the day I started USC and since the day I moved into this new apartment. My roommate left on Tuesday for his parents’ house and I took a breath of relief. No, I don’t hate him but I do not like his few hygienic habits and his cleanliness. I cleaned the whole house by myself on Wednesday. My place was filthy as hell (or whatever that means). The clean place made me feel so much better. I was happy to look at my room, living room, kitchen and bathroom…and wasn’t hiding in the corner of my room to avoid the unclean areas of my apartment.

Anyways, after I cleaned I turn the heat on, brought my laptop and related stuff in living room, and finally enjoyed this living room which I have been paying for few monthsJ. These four days, from Wednesday to Saturday, I relaxed, wrote a little bit of my final papers, watched a movie and just chilled. I know that I could have finish couple of my final papers but I did some parts of those but not the whole thing. This whole fun included some food and some laughter and no alcohol. I didn’t need alcohol or sex or whatever to make me feel good…the cleanliness and calmness of my place was enough to get high on lol

Today when I woke up and realized it is Sunday, which means my roommate is going to come back and I will have to live in filthy place once again :-). I wish I can just tell him, "Please just clean after yourself every time, and scrub dishes with soap and then wash, and this way you don’t have to clean all the time." But I won’t say it because I am not his mom, sister or whatever... I know in weirdness of all this often I leave my dished unwashed but during this break, every single time I cleaned my dishes without any thought…and how relaxing was that, ah! This all reminded me of one proverb from India, “even a dog cleans the place he sits at, and then why can’t humans do the same.”

Oh well, I relaxed these few days and had most amazing time by myself. Now it’s time to get back to my papers and use this relaxed mind and body for finals :-)))).
