Boredom = Fish?

Hello everyone. Today is the seventh of April, the second real day of springtime vacations, and I am extremely bored. One would think that, with over a week of pure unsceduled enjoyment, the holiday known as Spring Break would be an exciting time in the life of a typical teenager. Unfortunately, three things prevent me from maximizing my pleasure potential this vacation. First, my leftmost two wisdom teeth were forcibly extracted last Saturday, leaving me with a dull ache and an inability to perform extended/strenuous physical activities such as tennis or, my personal favorite pastime, building construction. Second, I am afflicted with a most unfortunate malady: I forget nearly every fun activity I had planned the moment the vacation starts. I can probably attribute that to my extremely poor short-term memory, a trait that also explains my inexplicable tendency to perform the same action several times in quick succession. The thought occurs to me now that I should probably keep a list of the things I like to do, thereby sparing me the uneventful days past pacing around the house like a lost soul. Coincidently, if any of you faithful viewers are reading this sometime over "spring break" and have any merriment ideas, do not hesitate even a moment to call me up or leave a comment on this post. If I decide to take your suggestion/hang out with you that day, there might be some sort of monetary prize in it for you. Or maybe not; either way, I'm sure it's a chance you're willing to take.

And thirdly, it's raining outside. But why would that be a bad thing, one might ask. Surely, April showers bring May flowers and butterflies and other nature-based phenomena like that; isn't one rainy day worth such plants and insects and pollen and things? The biologist in me says yes; an increase in atmospheric precipitation facilitated by a sudden rise in both mean temperature and the availability and strength of sunlight in all parts of the photoradiospectrum would effectually lead to an uptake of dihydrogen monoxide by plants and therefore the growth of shoots, leaves, roots, stems, and flowers whose nectars and ultraviolet markings would attract insect and animal pollenators such as bees and birds and give rise to a more picturesque springtime environment (if you can't tell by now, I miss biology class). But the kid in me raises his fist to the sky and shouts "nay!"! After checking the forecast for the week, the majority of spring break will be spent underwater, leaving little time after my recovery for college visits and other outdoors activities. On the other hand, though, the potential for fishing will skyrocket! Fine anglin' seems to be much more possible on rainy days, and I should therefore use a doused and dreary break to my advantage. I can see it now: Young Maximillian the Moxiously Masterful Fish Conqueror. Look for me in the paper; I'll be famous in under a week flat. Or round; I try not to discriminate based on the size/weight of my weeks. At any rate, I should probably get going now; the next time you all see me, I'll be a living legend for sure.
