Chores Vs. School

[Lord "ZER" Daeth]

The past few days I have been incredibly reluctant to get out of bed, and go to school. When I don't get out of bed I'm usually yelled at for 1-2 minutes then I get a fresh shirt on, and head to school.
Not today... today it was the same routine but, my mum asked if I was going to school today. After 1 minute of contemplation, I said "No." she sighed, and said I'd be put to work, my reply "better than school." I then fell back asleep.
An hour after I fell asleep I was woken and told it was time to work. I got up, quickly changed, and went to the kitchen. Where she told be to clean out the cereal cupboard (now the cereal/misc. appliances cupboard) I complained about the quantity of shreddies. She said she ate the honey ones (I have never seen her eaten them), dad ate the normal ones. (He rarely eats them. Once every 2 months) I said fine and sorted them. Then started clearing out the pots, and pans cupboard, where I got rid of most of the pots. (They were the really small ones, about your fists put together) Kept all the pans. Then decided that the lower half of the cereal cupboard is going to be the misc. appliance cupboard, then sorted them in that. Cleared out the cutlery draw, then I was told to mow the back lawn.
Which was the first time I use the mower, I felt pretty good that my "more fat than muscle" arm started it. Then I used a weed-whacker to touch up the spots I missed. Then I showered as I was covered in grass, and torn up weeds. Over all it was a pretty good day.
I didn't have to go to school, I got to sort stuff (I weirdly like sorting ) I was ask if I was going to school tomorrow, I said "No"
If it's anything like today, it's going to be alright.

P.S. Sorry for basically telling you my day
P.P.S. What does "P.S." stand for?
P.P.P.S. Do any of you watch "Game of Thrones"

Do you think your parents were expecting you to be put-off by having to work all day?
P.S. P.S. Stands for Post Script, I think the term comes from the Latin post scriptum, an expression meaning "written after".
P.P.S Funny, I didn't learn that at school.

(Turns out I didn't finish writing it?)
Second day of doing Chores instead of school; It was worse. It started with sorting the containers, lazy suzy, and under the sink cupboards. Which was fine.
Then I had to remove the grass that was growing between the paving stones in the backyard. Yes, I'm serious. After about 3 minutes, I decided "Fuck it!", and went to wash the windows.
Let's say I don't like washing windows. My hands still feel really weird; I don't like that feeling.
Then I had to scrub dirt of the handrail part of the porch, which was worse than the windows by far.
I then took a lunch break, and ate soup; finished, and started on the porch again, 30 minutes later I was done.
Went inside, and check my interweb stuff.
Today was worse than yesterday. I've decide to go back to school on Monday, as I don't have school Friday.
Truthfully I'm probably going to get my "Dogwood" instead of 4 years of horribleness.
P.S. I learnt what semi-colons do, from my sister.

My mother once told me that we should clean the windows. I gave her a funny look then said "But doesn't the rain already do that?". I then chuckled and went back to what I was doing while my mother simply gave it up.

I usually clean the dishes every night, make the tea we drink after dinner and some other basic stuff. Been doing it for a while. It's never a problem because I'm pretty damn good at it, which means I get no complaints.

And I haven't watched Game of Thrones, but I intend to start sometime. I have a habit of binge watching TV shows via online sites. But I've got some shows I've started(and I limit myself to a certain amount of shows not to get confused).

Oh and for certain jobs, you can slightly work at them. I do that for certain things I know my mother will most likely miss if I tell her I did it and remain neutral in expression. Like If I was told to wash the windows, I'd make sure my mother wasn't watching then I'd spray the windows with a waterhose, without even touching them. But like I said, We don't do the windows because of my instance that nature will take care of it.

The satisfaction of physical work chores is far greater than the "satisfaction" of school-inhabited mental chores.

I'd take organizing the cupboards over mindless memorization any day.

True. I actually feel some level of satisfaction when I do house work. Like when I have to re-organize my bookshelf, I feel satisfaction when I see how neatly I've organized the books, or how the floor I vacuumed looks cleaner.

Haven't felt anything similar in school for the last many years.
