Mosquito Diaries - 1

My room is infested with mosquitoes and having lived here for three months, I've gradually prepared myself for them. I've got a pack of coils, a can of aerosol, some random mosquito repellant and even a moshari lying around. Despite all these being within hand's reach, I keep sitting on my chair or lay tucked under my blanket, randomly throwing my hand around trying to kill the ones that are flying by my ear. Eventually, after an hour or two, I notice that my sitting around hasn't been very productive, neither are my lying around very relaxing, because of said mosquitoes. So finally I get up, and avail one of the many protective measures I myself had prepared.
And I contemplate on how I wasted so much time.
I sometimes wonder if that's exactly what I am doing with my life in general?
