Lethargic.

From Dictionary.com,

Le-thar-gic
-adjective

1. Of, pertaining to, or affected with lethargy; drowsy; sluggish.

*sigh* I dislike it when definitions include a form of the word that is being looked up. I know I've done it before, so now I'm trying to stop doing that because really...no. Hah.

I really like the definition of lethargy though. It really defines the summer me:

Leth-ar-gy
-noun

1. The quality or state of being drowsy and dull, listless and unenergetic, or indifferent and lazy; apathetic or sluggish inactivity.

I'm sure that my mother would agree that this describes me. I really really really know that I have many things to do, but once I come home from class, BOOM. I knock out for about three to four hours. An excuse would be the HORRIBLE HEAT, but really, there is no excuse for lethargy. I really am at fault for my laziness.

I really don't know where this came from. I used to be the master of multitasking and getting things done (e.g. High school, especially Freshman year), but now, I can do only one thing a day. I don't understand why. It's not that I'm still sleep deprived from this past year and need rest; I've slept so much these past few weeks! Even though I didn't get a break at all from school (because right when La Sierra's Spring Quarter ended, GCC's Summer Session began) does not mean that I'm still tired! Blaaaaah.

The great accomplishments that I did today were submitting my Orientation quiz, Confidentiality form, getting a TB shot, and having blood drawn for some tests that I need to become a volunteer at GAMC. I know I should be used to shots and needles, especially since I want to be a nurse, but I was still trembling a bit when I saw the needles pierce into my arms. At least I can say that I actually did something today when my mother asks.

I really really really really should do something. Many of friends are out there, an ocean away, on mission trips, surviving in the heat and humidity of the Philippines, and without many commodities that being at home in the U.S. entails, while I am here, doing absolutely, positively, NOTHING. I do not want to reply with "Nothinggggg" to the inquiries of what I did this summer when I return to school in September. The answer "Summer school" will not suffice for me. I NEED TO DO SOMETHING. There are retirees who are out there, volunteering, working, do mission work, while I, one who is half their age and has twice their energy (according to health theories though many probably could prove this wrong), am spending my time like a couch potato!

AHH, horrible. I should have at least spent a couple thousand of dollars on summer school at La Sierra taking classes that would take up a lot of time through classwork, labs, and studying. At least I would be doing something productive and worthwhile.
