Mood: introspective Fact of the day: In 1999, according to a survey in the States, only 21% of the people who call in sick for work are actually sick. event of the week Swing dancing this thursday! Li says that I've become more antisocial this past week. Shaun jokingly asks me whether I'm going to be rotting in my room again. And I have to say yes. I think I don't have a social life anymore and I'm back to those hermit days....
It's not as bad as it seems though. It's not that I made a conscious effort to avoid everyone. It just seems that I have so much work to do, I won't have time to talk when I'm working anyway, then why bother to trudge all the way to another hall to study in the lounge, when I can so comfortably and probably more efficiently work in my room?
In the first place, I think my friendship with the people here has already reached a comfortable point, where I shouldn't have to see them everyday or do everything with them, in order for them to remember my existence. In fact, last semester, when I had to cling on to these people so tightly, I felt so tired, so drained.
I'm an introvert, and some people say that the difference between an introvert and an extrovert is: in a social event, the introvert gets more tired when they interact with more people, while the extrovert becomes more excited and energised. So for me, I cannot hang around other people too much, or all my energy will be drained away by all the extroverts!
I like my room...it's quiet, I can do whatever I want in it, I can wear whatever I want, I can sing as loudly as I want, I'm so comfortable in it. I really don't mind just rotting in my room, for a day of relaxation. I will play all my favourite music, sit down with my unfinished Angela's Ashes, brew a pot of tea, and take the phone receiver off its hook. Aaahh...
Oh well, but I don't have time for that plan as yet. Ahem. And while there still isn't much of a relaxation part to the things I do in my room, I guess I am spending just a little bit too much time in my room. At least I should be glad that my friends are at least concerned......
