Year 2 is crazy. My timetable might be less packed than last year but I still feel as though I have no time to do anything. I guess it's partly my fault because I keep procrastinating and end up leaving a lot of work undone. And I'm not just talking about schoolwork. I've been meaning to do a lot of other things too but somehow I never got around to doing so. It's high time to change and start focusing on what I need to do. I can't just fritter away all my precious life away like that. I'm 20, and that's like only a few more years to mid-life crisis and all other depressing things. I shouldn't allow myself to just waste away what is supposed to be the best time of my life. That being said, I still think I'll end up not changing anything.
And considering that I wrote the above 2 weeks ago and I still have yet to finish the entry so that I can update my blog, you can tell how good I am at this procrastination game. You want to play? The rules are easy:
1) Wait for your homework to pile up
2) Open your laptop and start checking your email
3) Find the homework that need to be done and put them within sight
4) Go and grab a snack to munch on while working on your homework
5) Open the packet of the snack
6) Read the first line of the question
7) Proceed to pop something yummy into your mouth
8) MMMMMM... Concentrate on munching and figure out the best way to savour the yummilicious snack
9) Read the 2nd line of the question
10) Finish the snack and start craving for another
11) Check out facebook
12) Talk on MSN
13) Realise that you still have homework and look at the 1st line of the question
14) Start thinking how nice it'll be to listen to some music and do your work at the same time
15) Open up iTunes and start looking through your playlist for nice 'motivational' songs that will make homework less of a torture
16) Read the 2nd line of the question
17) Go and grab another snack

You get the idea. It's so fun and hours of your sad sad life just disappears like that. And NO, it doesn't make much of a difference whether you're at home or in school. I'm currently at the EEE foyer and I'm typing this. All I've done was opened my logbook and searched for random information about Switch Mode Power Supplies but I'm no closer to completing my logbook. I'm supposed to be researching info about Haydn's last London Symphony but currently David Garrett <3 (hot violinist) is playing in the background.
But enough of that, I figured once I finish this entry and an email to my dad, I will start working on my essay (yeah right). I've moved in to my new apartment, photos here.
many hours later and I still haven't finished this entry or started on my essay and I ended up finishing a packet of Maryland Chocolate Chip cookies in one sitting. =/ And it's 12am in the morning. Life is wonderful isn't it? Oh well, I'll just try to run off 13 Maryland cookies (nearly 700 kcal?) tomorrow (although it's kinda impossible for me since I'm such a slow runner (somewhere around 9-10km/h) and I normally only run for an hour. But slow happy jogs are fun... it allows me to daydream and think about random things even though I probably won't lose much weight. Which reminds me...
Isn't it strange that sometimes when someone suddenly puts a really absurd idea into your head, you just keep thinking about even though you know it's completely ridiculous and all the time and effort spent on musing over this idea could be better used in writing an essay about Haydn's London Symphony? I want to make ham and cheese muffins. I always loved the (honey baked!) ham and (mozarella!) cheese combination... or maybe cheddar and onion muffins. I have this craving for muffins (which I tried to satisfy with chocolate chip cookies but didn't work)... oh well. One day, when I can spare the cash and calories, I'll go to Muffin Man and buy one of those savoury muffins. I hope by the savoury muffins they don't those British English muffins (like Sausage McMuffin) but the American muffins with savoury fillings. I can imagine moist buttery texture with ham pieces and melted cheese. YUM. But muffins aren't the only crazy thing on my mind. Roar.
Oh yes before I end it off, a nice story about Obama.
