This day was so productive...................

Just so you know, I'm going on another rant. So you can ignore this if you like....
It's fascinating how the mind works, it really is. Today, the hottest day so far this year. We had about 28 degrees  Celsius. For days we knew this day would come. We planned, we said, Sunday we are going to the park to study, so get everything else done so we can enjoy the day outside. Sunday comes and I have all my work done so I can enjoy the park. I think, I can read in the park and get some nap time in. But Sunday comes for the others, most of whom actually came up with the plan in the first place, and I hear not a word from them. I finally give in, write them on the famed social network, is everyone still alive? Are we still going to the park? It's fantastic outside and I'm already missing out on some sun rays that have my name on them. 

I wish...

I'm waiting for a response from three others to see if they are still alive. One minute away from calling 911 I get a message. Oh, sorry, I can't go. I have a lot of work to do. And one after the other the disappointing messages flow in. I'm sitting here, after waking up a little earlier than my normal some-time-after-lunch wake up and wonder why I even bothered. 
So yes, you discovered the point of this post. It's that there is none here. It's not the first time, heck, it's not even the second. I don't think I can count it all on one hand. And to that, my disappointment led me to say heck! Can you believe it?!? But yeah, day after day I make plans with my friends and each time I'm shot down. My classes are easy right now, I get my work done ahead of time and do my reading diligently. I am done in time to participate, I do everything well. I get good grades, I get good papers done. And somehow I'm the only person in this place that manages to do that. Somehow, no one else here can get their papers done before the due date. Somehow no one can get their reading done before the day we planned 5 days in advance. Somehow, no one can manage to keep their promise with me because I am getting fed up of this constant let down. I'm bored out of my mind here and it's making this entire semester mind numbing
And so I sat indoors the entire day because I was bored and I didn't want to go anywhere by myself. I sat indoors watching Family Guy and movies because my friends were too lame to come outside with me, even just for lunch. So you suddenly don't eat? But I dropped what I did almost every day for the past three weeks to come by your place so we could still see each other. I dropped what I did and had lunch near your place, across campus, because you didn't have time to walk over to my place. I spent an evening in the library with you so you could study while I almost melted into the chair because I had no idea what I wanted to do. No, none of that matters. I understand now. I understand that you come first, for everyone. 


But whatever, I just spent my day getting even further ahead with work so I can be even more bored the next time we have plans and my dear friends shoot me down. 
If you need me I'll be in my room.
