The Lying Lantern

I was gonna originally write something about Super Junior, again. :) But then something came up and it's a shorter story.  I'm sharing this shorter story because it's 4:10 am and I have to get up at 7:30 am.  Yes, I'm crazy enough to make a new post rather than sleep.  My story is actually the cause of my too-early-to-wake-up, too-late-to-sleep sitch right now.  First of all, I am a student.  I'm studying fashion design and still in my 1st year for this course.  Unfortunately, there is an age gap between my classmates and myself.  It's not that much but mentally, never mind! Haha! I don't mean to be mean but they are still kids and it bugs every ounce of fiber in my body.  Anyway, short story.  We were asked to make this Christmas Lantern for one of our majors.  This was given around 2 weeks ago, going on 3.  Today is the deadline.  Later I mean.  We've started making it 2 Sundays ago and our lantern was taking form.  The Wednesday after that was a holiday so we decided to continue but since I had work, I couldn't go help them.  So I thought that it would be a better idea if I came to pick up the lantern and do the finishing touches. So I did, but then one of my group mates (who also wasn't able to come) wants to give her share as well and asked me if I could send the lantern over to her then she'll send it back to me when she's done.  I saw the age gap with this situation.  I love to plan.  I used to be very spontaneous but as I got older, I've become more organized because I have too many things to do in a day and I just have to time everything to make it fit into a day.  Anyhooo. So a week has passed and I didn't get the damn lantern until last night around 9, almost 10.  To my great surprise, the lantern looked not a tad bit different from when I last saw it.  Is 6 days too short to even just make bits and pieces for this lantern? Apparently it is for kids.  When I think about it, I was never like this when I was younger.  I was always responsible enough to make assignments before the deadline or earlier than the deadline.  It really drove me nuts.  A part of me was expecting that this was gonna happen.  And it did.  Prolific tongue? Mind? Prolific something.  The most stupid thing is I was willing to do it all by myself from the start and I had offered to do it but then they kept on saying that they wanted to give a share in order for it to be fair for everyone.  Now they do this? They make me do everything and do not even give me time to prepare what I need or plan what to make or put.  The supposed 6 days of work that my group mates could have and should have done, I did in less than 6 hours.  I want to laugh.  Well, I laughed it off.  Maybe because I've been inhaling a lot of glue since the beginning of the making of this damn lantern.  But I did.  I just don't care anymore.  I need the grade too.  I'm too old to repeat courses and I don't have the time to postpone another year off my planned graduation.  Therefore, I conclude that kids these days just worry about boys and whatever shit they talk about and don't even think about their future.  They think life is easy.  It is when you're young. TRY GROWING UP!!!!!
