Summer Snow

Saturday.

I woke up a little later than expected after turning off my alarm and falling back asleep. I'm trying to get my system used to waking up consistently, but so far it seems sure to fail. When I finally awoke, I realized that the house was oddly quiet. I realized that MegaCreep was at StudentLife 101 and Jolin went to work. Having the house to myself seemed weird, but got me motivated to become productive and study. After showering, I cracked open my psychology textbook and began reading for my midterm of Tuesday. I was interrupted with the arrival of PadFeet. We caught up for a bit as I watched him play Red Dead.

We continued to catch up when my parents and younger brother came knocking. My brother, Bee, also has decided to come to Waterloo and was attending Student Life 101. The reason for their visit was to help me paint my dungeon room here in Waterloo. I was a little surprised as it was out of the blue, but I accepted their offer. We headed to Canadian Tire and chose the colour. The choices were narrowed down to 4 separate light shades. However, Bee wanted me to get either Snow Scape (grey) or Marianna's Aria (blue). I decided to go with the grey even though my room already appears to be a dungeon. My dad and I began putting on the first coat as soon as we got back and I was surprised that it seemed so white. I decided that I would need to allow it to dry to fully be able to discern whether it was too light.

Once the room was finished, I realized that the paint was extremely light compared to the colour sample. Luckily, my furniture is black which makes the overall theme a black and white room. Something seemed off and I made this known to my parents. My dresser, which is pretty old, was a different colour from the rest of the decor. I joked with my mom that it was an eyesore and threw off the chemistry of the room. My dad offered to get me a new one once the new term started. I thanked him as I've been wanting to change it for a while now.

Now, I know you're not supposed to stay in a room that was just painted, but I didn't want to sleep on the couches. I chose to stay in my room, despite my better judgement and even fell asleep. Hopefully, I'll be able to retain the information I read up on today.

Although the walls are sort of plain, the room seems less dungeony somehow. I can't wait to decorate it for the term coming.

This just might make school more bearable.
