Dumb in space

Really, doing nothing is hazardous to your health. Staring at your PC all day long while finishing reports is fine, but staring at the tube period, is not. My head's hurting pretty bad, and, on top of it all, I have absolutely nothing in my brain.

Nada. Nuffink. At all.

This is really bad. I've been on a lull for a week now. No work means no mental stuff to challenge the gray matter, which means that I'm probably getting dumber by the second. And if there's one thing that I'm really scared of, it's getting really dull and stupid.

I mean, I don't want to be that person who can't string a single coherent thought, or that office worker who has a goofy smile because she can't answer a question. I know that I'm no Einstein, but I do want to retain a certain measure of brilliance in my life, before it fades into the grayness of oblivion.

On these thoughts, I am considering going back to school, not for the sake of a degree, but for the sheer joy of having a frenzied life again. I want to study again, because I want to. I miss the bustle of school - and I can't believe I'm saying this - I simply miss studying, of having my head think about something for a change. Life is so bleak when you are idle.

Anyway, planning to go back to school, I've narrowed my options down to a Masters degree in Nursing, Med School or Law. If I'm going to spend for school, it might as well be an investment towards a more illustrious career in the future :)

So far, it's been hum-hum for me. Home, work and back home again. It does not help that I do nothing in my cubicle all day. The good thing about it is that I can surf the net all day, if I want to, connect with friends and stuff. The bad thing is when your YM contacts won't 'Ping' you back >:@.

Really, sitting around all day is not as fun as it seems. Unlimited free time means unlimited hours wallowing in self-pity and regret. Oh, if only I could wallow in the pinky, fluffy, glittery goo of happiness.

Right. Need to think positive.

I intended to write about the projects I was planning on doing to combat boredom and idleness. See what office-induce dumbness can do :C
