It would be easier to write about the Spring Fest that’s starting tomorrow, but instead, I plan to write a review of the concerts for next week, so the ones who couldn’t join in the fun because of exams can be jealous. By the way, I have to make sure I won’t be busy in the first place!
Never mind. If you get used to sleeping late in the middle of all the things you have to do and lose the “sleeping hours regulation”, -dormitory students would know that-, you could possibly find yourself waking up around 4 a.m. or 7:30 p.m. eventually, with stars above, and question marks inside your head. The immediate question which derives from your curiosity is to find out what time it is, if you still have any sense of reality. Secondly, if you are not from Ankara and by chance you went home to visit your parents over the weekend, in the darkness of the evenings, the question of “what time is it” is replaced by “where am I?”, where you seriously have to think, before opening your eyes.
I don’t know why, but I find the period of sleeping really strange, and I'm not talking about your room or home mate who starts snoring in the middle of a conversation, or your sister walking around the house in her sleep. It’s like plugging your cellular phone in so that it can recharge, and if you don’t, you similarly keep shutting down the following day during important occasions.
Have you ever considered the possibility that your whole past was somehow loaded into your brain during your sleep, and the life you think you've lived upto now, as you open your eyes, is just a compilation of artificial memories? This would mean you’re not actually who you are, nor did you really do the things you thought you did, but you think that way depending on your loaded recollections. Only by pointing out the presence of today’s reality, can you prove you really had a past.
You wake up, then, to keep going the following day, through the daily life you're used to, but never actually lived before. I admit it. I might need to get recharged as well.
