Wasted Time


 In the middle of my final exams my mother told me that she's gonna buy a new digital camera. I was very thrilled to hear that as I don’t have one. At first I told myself, “Arafat wait!!” But who's gonna stop me? Myself? Not a chance. That was one of those cold nights when the night starts having effect on my brain and my brain automatically starts storming. You might have heard from Ted Mosby (How I met your mother) that, "Nothing good happens after 2 am". Anyway, I didn't have to wait that long. I heard the news at 9 pm. At about 10;30 I turned on my laptop ( Yeah guys, I’ve recently bought one ), got connected to the internet and by the time it was 2 o clock, my 'download' folder was filled with camera review videos and in addition, 15-20 more was in the queue of my download manager. I thoughts were overloaded with camera-buying tips and information and my eyes were skimming through every review sites and threads on camera review. After 4 hours of research and discussion over fb, I finally decided to buy canon powershot sx210 IS. What followed next was expected. I removed the unfinished video downloads from my download manager's queue and searched "digital photography tutorial" on youtube. By 5 in the morning I was exhausted and came what I call the "Frustration Hour". This is the hour when my feet touch the ground again, and I remember what I should have done. I went to the bathroom (that is where I smoke) and lit the last cigarette of the night. I realized, I have started many things that I haven't finished yet. I have plans to learn guitar well, learn programming and become a graduate as soon as possible. So, I cannot take any new project which eventually I won't finish. A voice inside me yelled, STOP! I went to bed with guilt of wasting time. Tomorrow I have a final exam and I am still wasting time on this meaningless blog.
