I routinely tell others, and myself, that I detest routines and avoid them at all costs.
\n(Do you sense the impending irony? :O)<\/b><\/p>\n
Upon closer examination, I discover that it’s quite the self-sustained charade. I was never really aware of it. How often do we find that the best lies are the ones we tell ourselves?<\/p>\n
I do have quite a few routines and stick to them very religiously. Here are some of them-<\/p>\n
1: I stand under the shower for about 20 minutes every morning, absolutely oblivious to the fact that I’m awake.<\/b><\/p>\n
2: I have a smoke at the bus stop to start the day.<\/b> I realise that I’m in my school uniform, but it’s really dark and nobody really notices apart from the bus stop regulars who I’m really nice to anyway.<\/p>\n
3: I sleep in classes and go to tutorials completely unprepared. <\/b>(It’s such a habit that I actually find it disturbingly fun to try and figure out what’s going on, without a single prior clue. It’s probably the only reason why I’m not failing miserably like I should be doing.)<\/p>\n
4: I waste hour after hour online, doing absolutely nothing.<\/b> I find it really relaxing and I can do this until 3-5am in the morning. I never really figured out why. My latest theory is that it doesn’t involve any physical or mental exertion whatsoever. I figure that this is so because I sleep like a baby when I’ve been playing chess with my friends, or been out cycling. Also, I tend to catch up on my sleep in school.<\/p>\n

Are YOU proud of your routines? They seep into your character and eventually define who you are. I’m certainly not proud of most of mine, and so I am planning to replace and refine them. It starts now. I’m not going to talk about it, because I routinely fall into the NATO trap (No Action, Talk Only). But I’ll let you know how it’s going.<\/p>\n
I’ve been sitting at the computer for about 2-3 hours now, so I’m off to do my tutorials!
