A lot of people on this website post serious problems, but I'm not doing that right now. I'm just bored and don't have anything else to do
Today, as I am sure you all know, is Thanksgiving in the USA. I'm a 20 year old college student who went to visit his grandparents, and it is awful. They are getting old and senile and they are so boring. It wouldn't be so bad to visit with them if they didn't always turn on the TV (having pointless noise in the back ground really bothers me). So I end up trying to do things alone all day. Ordinarily that would not be so bad, but my younger brother is also bored and does not know how to entertain himself, so he follows me around all day and makes it so that I cannot entertain myself either. So I've been in a near constant state of annoyance and boredom the past 2 days, and I'm going to be for another 2. I'm taking 21 credit hours this semester, and if I had to guess, I'd say that 25 is the level at which I'd crack (this is the point at which I would literally have no time for doing anything that wasn't school-obligatory), so I really need my free-time. But I would rather be at school again than spending all day on the computer doing mind-numbing things because my brother is too big of a distraction for me to do anything else. I think this is why I was happier on the exchange in Germany; I had a perfect excuse for declining every social event. I suppose I could do the same now, but that would be awfully mean to my grandparents, who are probably going to die before I have to do this too many more times.
I'm also a little bummed because a German girl I met on the exchange doesn't talk to me anymore, I haven't gotten very much credit for what I did in Germany (although I worked my ass off and did everything they told me to), a couple of my professors have been jerks recently, and I missed an opportunity to ask a girl out shortly before the holidays (but I will probably get several more opportunities in the next couple weeks).
Like I said, these aren't big problems. Maybe if I weren't such a damn fool and could just be content like a dumb animal, then I could be in a much better mood. I have much more to be happy about than I did for most of my life. Sorry if this is a waste of space. I'm awfully bored.
