The moonlight spills onto my bed through the window, while a gentle breeze outside caresses the treetops, dancing gracefully. The insects chirp joyfully, as if tonight is a sleepless good night for them!
It's been five whole days since I returned home, but time seems to have come to a standstill. It feels as if I've experienced a month of endlessness. Gone is the hustle and bustle of school, replaced only by the night's silence and a tranquil heart. I go to bed early and wake up early, experiencing a feeling I never had during college. The lively scenes in the dormitory are absent, and I miss the camaraderie of friends sharing meals together.
Not going to the court made me realize that not playing basketball can really lighten the skin, but without the regular exercise and sweating, I feel quite unaccustomed. I miss seeing the girls running around on the court. Most importantly, I miss the daily interactions with fellow players, sharing nonsensical conversations, or randomly chatting about anything! Now, I look at the seldom-updated social media feeds every day, wondering what others are doing, thinking, and experiencing... which makes me feel a bit down!
Sometimes I really don't know what to do. The most I do every day is wait for meals, eat until I'm full, and sleep, thinking about perhaps tomorrow, or the distant start of my junior year, looking forward to the arrival of new freshmen, listening to over a hundred classic old songs that never get old, and feeling too lazy to think about my graduation project. What a lazy life!
The boring days continue. I keep refreshing Weibo, checking my mood, watching others busy or relaxed, observing the trivial moods of others, regardless of joy or sorrow!
At this moment, lying down and looking at the moon on the treetops, I wonder if there are others staring at the moon unable to sleep, venting their frustrations, or if there are people like me counting the days, living one day at a time!
I can still hear the voices of the monkey catchers outside the window, but I don't know what I'm thinking. Am I reminiscing, commemorating something, or just a bored person unable to sleep at midnight, losing my mind?! (2012-07-01 night)
