one of my many snap shots of happiness

For CAS of IB, I was going to do a hot yoga program for a month and fill in my forms for the action requirements. The offer ends on Feburary 29th, which, unfortunately, is today. I rushed home, blaming myself for procrastinating on so many small things. I printed off a waiver form and waited for my parents to come home, and hoped the centre doesnt close off so early.
Just a few minutes earlier, i phoned the centre asking about their hours of operation. Apparently the offer has been extended to an ongoing promotion. =)
Now i'm just happy about not having to rush to the centre in pitch darkness and rushing back to study for my physics quiz tomorrow.
As I grow older, I realize how many deadlines there are in life, and the consequences if one of them is not met. One of such is my EE proposal due this Friday, I still have to come up with a decent topic. The pressure they bring upon is annoying, but they are necessary to keep our lives in order...i guess? I often think back to my childhood, when there is no deadline, or there isnt much of a consequence if one is missed. People tend to be more generous with children. Unfortunate how we never realize that fact until its too late - we have all grown up.
If I can have my life from start to finish again, I would play all I could for the first few years of my life, and I won't have a care in the world. Childhood is too precious to be wasted in doors and buried under responsibilities like the adulthood. Rather, it should be spent frolicking around under the sun, sleeping in until 11am. I regret how I spent all my time doing the tedious homework my teachers gave me, even though parents emphasis on the importance of them. As I look back, i realize how enjoying life is so much more important than looking ahead and planning ahead during childhood. I miss those good times =)
