Ramblings of a rather average girl

(source:  http://fassyy.tumblr.com/post/90499277889/the-grand-budapest-hotel-2014 ) The feeling of doing nothing is amazing and is very under appreciated. And sleep is a luxury when it comes to the end of school term. All those damn deadlines. So, my first semester as year 2 is over– I'm just going to say that my last 3 assignments are a killer and the last one, MMR/CP was a nightmare. Truly a nightmare. I would say that I enjoyed the journey of completing the CA is better than its destination. This means, my holidays are here. HUZZAH!!! I'll leave an entire week for just lazing around and doing whatever I want to whilst I try to find a part-time job. And I need to fix Sirius– my macbook. I'll be without it for 3-5 days if I send it for servicing. That leaves me to my really old laptop that is running on Windows Vista. Went to my brother's prize giving ceremony, in which I took his kino vouchers– his 'prize' for being first in his class. That boy doe...

The above picture sums up everything. It has to be perfect or I just don't do the thing at all. Not only that, I'm very– extremely nit picky when it comes to doing things I genuinely care about. I set high standards for myself when I'm doing things that I care about. If it's not up to my standard, I would scrap the entire thing and start anew. It's the reason why I abandoned so many of my stories, because to me, it aren't good enough. So if I know I can't do a certain thing well, I would just give up and not do it at all. It sucks because, logically, no one is perfect and are bound to make mistakes but there's always this innate need in me to be perfect. To not make any mistakes. Probably it's because I linked mistakes with not being smart, or embarrassment since ...

Not a big fan of loud noises. I used to dislike the rain because it means that I couldn't go out and play. But now, rain gives me some sort of comfort, a solstice— it calms me down. I love rainy days despite it being absolutely gloomy and grey, its sombre demeanor just calms me. Somehow. Especially when I have a cup of tea or coffee around. And listening to Ed Sheeran or Birdy while reading a book. I just painted my perfect afternoon. I just want the holidays to come because I need a break from school and everything that has to do with it. (Though I'm not looking forward to seeing my semestral results— I just hope and pray to God that I would remain in 3.0 and above range) - Gloria PS: I'm so tired and I wish my parents would invest in an espresso machine. Or a better tea kettle for starters.

Right now, my body is telling me to go to sleep by making my eyes slowly closing while I'm typing this post and doing SPSS for MMR.  I'm just looking forward to the end of my MMR/CP presentation because that marks the end of the semester. SEMESTER BREAK MOTHERFUCKERS! So, my mantra right now is to get over RTPM CA because after that, I'm left with one CA to do. It's a countdown to the holidays– I can't wait to do nothing for 2 weeks or so. (And send my Macbook for servicing, the screen's turning from bad to worse as the days go by.  - Gloria

When they announced his passing on the television, I was shocked as I was just going about getting ready for school, I didn't expect something like this to happen. This guy kind of gave me a part of my childhood. I remember watching Jumanji when I was a child when my dad played the DVD on the DVD player. I watched Flubber too but I don't really know what it was really going on in the movie– I was still a young child. Of course, I watched Aladdin and he played Genie in that movie. He was really funny and he made me laugh. I see him in other recent movies such as Night in the Museum, RV, Robots, Happy Feet and the most recent one I've watched was The Big Wedding. He's someone who you thought is going to be around for a long time– to me that is. I would...

Finally, I'm done with advertising, GenEd and PR. HUZZAH!! However, I may have screwed up my GenEd pitch– clearly, I was too busy with advertising to care about GenEd. Oh well. Now, I'm doing CP/MMR– I just can't wait for the last two CAs to be over. Then I'm free!! But, this also means that I need to get a job during the holidays to support my broke ass. And I need to get my laptop fix– it's a little wonky right now. This has been a post. - Gloria

I've been going to school every day and yes, it includes the weekend. Hell, I'm typing this post whilst I commute my ass there. All these because of the advertising presentation tomorrow. And it's 9 in the morning. To add on to  the shit fest, I have another presentation to do at 1pm. Let's just say that I have not been preparing for that. I know I should be grateful to have these problems— there are people in West Africa dying from Ebola, not to mention Gaza-Israel conflict in the Middle East. I know I'm going to sound like a total brat and an ungrateful first world problem girl but I feel so overwhelmed by the work that is given recently. I just want some rest and sleep. Yes, I'm really grateful that I'm given these problems to handle instead of life endangering ones. Alright, obviously, I need to change my perspectiv...

I know that collectively, in the past 98 hours, I've only had 20.5 hours of sleep. Needless to say that I was running on caffeine during the day. I'm blaming on advertising/the agency module. I feel so stressed about the entire thing because my group and I hasn't done a proper rehearsal because we're too busy finalising our slides as we have to make several changes– major ones, mind you– after consulting our lecturer twice. My part was all right– I just remembered that I need to rectify some of my slides. Brilliant. And I thought I could get some rest. Apparently not. 3 more fucking weeks, I'll be done with the semester and I can have my rest. - Gloria

Yup, I woke up at 6 in the morning for Lollapalooza. Here's a picture of Matty. You're welcome.  When I post on this blog is when I'm procrastinating something because I really don't want to do but I have to bring myself to do the work. UGH. GenEd, why are you a burdensome piece of shite? Honestly, if I didn't care about my grades so much, I wouldn't be here whining how I'm procrastinating and how my schoolwork so difficult and shit. I'm just so bored out of my mind. This has been a rather irrelevant post and yeah. - Gloria
