The Dull Sky. A Gentle Foreboding

6:45 AM, Friday. The keys Esc, F1 to F4, Tab, 1, Caps Lock, Q, A, and Z from my keyboard has ceased functioning. Darn it. And here I thought it was only the right key that has stopped working. Who would’ve known? And I never knew typing on the on-screen keyboard would be such a hassle. My typing speed has slowed down dramatically, and to top things up, I wouldn’t be able to use the most convenient keyboard shortcuts (i.e. Select-all, Undo, Task-switching, etc.) anymore unless a technician repairs it. I am still inexperienced, so fixing it by me is out of the question. Here’s a screenshot of my trouble. (Notice that I have been listening to Mami Kawada’s latest album, “Linkage”, for a while now.)



7:05 AM, Friday. See? It consumed 20 minutes of my life just to type those 105 characters above. Anyway, I already packed my things last night, and I’m somehow ready to leave this damned dormitory. If all things go smoothly, we can leave this country tomorrow noon, if my sister gets the professor’s approval, that is. [Reminder to self: Animu/Eroge DVDs is stocked inside my suitcase (000)] I still need to wait for my parents call, though. If my sister doesn’t get the approval, which is most likely to happen, our booking will be rescheduled. I’m fine either way, but I really want to leave as soon as possible.

7:23 AM, Friday. I’m waiting for my Aunt’s breakfast. This might be the last time I would be having breakfast in this town. I’m getting hungry. By the way, I just had a haircut yesterday. To be honest, it was…a huge failure. I want to skin that gay hairdresser alive for ruining my hair. A hairdresser that ruins hair; what perfect irony. I somehow predicted that that would happen. Should I be glad I didn’t get my hopes up? That aside, I’m sleep-deprived. I hit the sack at 1:30 AM, and woke up at 6:30 AM. Now tears are starting to form in my eyes.

7:32 AM, Friday. Everything happened so suddenly. Time just passed me by without me noticing it. It seemed like yesterday was 10 months ago. It felt like I leapt through time. I…honestly hate this feeling. If this is a dream, someone please end it.

8:34 AM, Friday. I received a call from Mom. She told me that I have to wait for 3 PM. Only then will I know if my sister is exempted from the exams. I still have six hours and a half. I guess I’ll watch some animu for the time being.

11:38 AM, Friday. I just woke up from a fleeting dream. I couldn’t remember what I dreamt of. I should take a shower now.

2:46 PM, Friday. I have yet to receive mom's call. Here I am, sitting idly in front of the monitor. That aside, I finally remembered the dream. I lost against temptation, and had coitus with a beautiful woman. That was all I could remember. I've been having weird dreams lately.

2:57 PM, Friday. Finally. I received a call from mom. But what awaited me was bad news. The time increased from three PM to five PM. This isn't my day.
