With my luggage packed, I found my bed cozy and traditional. A lamp, wooden desk and wooden chair in pale yellow, a mini book shelf on the left of the desk, a map on the wall and photos of my previous classes. Here is a place without computer or any other electronic stuff.
I am taking off tomorrow and now I am sitting down by my lamp, writing about the whole summer vacation which has just past.
Generally, my vacation has been ruined by computer, to be more exact, a computer connected to the internet. I am not saying that chatting with my buddies, reading and entertaining online is good for nothing. It’s just I am regretful for all the time I idled online. Although it is goofy to regret.
Now, by a desk with nothing but books on it, I get the right feeling I have been longing to after entering the university. The feeling of a student----
Writing with real pen but not keyboard; reading texts printed on real paper but not on a screen; talk to buddies in person but not via a window and emerging in the fragrance but not radio activity.
Sounds primitive, but I just cannot fulfill this little simple dream after entering university.
Maybe there is something wrong with me. I cannot memorize things appearing on a screen well, when I am in front of a computer, my mind goes blank and I become a puppet of the machine.
I do not know why I wrote down all these words. Since it’s been a long time since my last blog. Let’s call it a confession if you do wanna name it.
Anyway, the new semester is right in front of me. And let me BE A STUDENT after this waste vacation.
