Quote | Success

I'm linking up with the Daily Mayo for today's Quote Me Thursday:

This quote is especially important to me, I think it is super inspirational and motivating. When I'm watching TV or just sitting on Facebook or Twitter, or simply doing something useless, and I think of this quote, I (usually) get up and start studying or revert to doing something more productive. I hope this quote will motivate you like it motivates me!

Life Lately...

Lately...

• I have been going to school, doing school, living school, being school..... Okay maybe not the last one, but it seems like all I do is wake up in the morning and go to school, then arrive at school, come back from school, sleep after school, wake up and go to school the next morning. See? It's a cycle that goes on forever (i.e. 5 days a week for about 9 months)
• Except that we are on Christmas break right now. Or are we? We still had to go through 2 hours of Math today and 3 tomorrow. + we have our midterms after the break, which means....
• I have to study for my midterms and...
• For the SATs because I'm taking the January test
• We had a parent-meeting at school last week and I love parent-meetings, I can't help it
• I realized that I can solve math questions and watch movies at the same time, and this is a very helpful skill
• I am expecting (an iPhone, not a baby you idiot) and that is dope (be jealous)
• I have a new character besides Maggie and her name starts with a V 
• I read The Great Gatsby 2 weeks ago, Dear Dumb Diary (which is just hilarious), and I am currently reading I Am Malala
• I AM HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BECAUSE THE FAULT IN OUR STARS MOVIE IS COMING OUT JUNE 6TH AND THE MOVIE POSTER IS SUPERB
• School is standing in the way of my reading, rereading novels, blogging, writing, drawing, and watching TV activities
• But I shouldn't mind it, because I am a huge believer in the power of education (it's true)
• I've been gaining weight because a) I haven't been exercising and b) they have good unhealthy, fattening food at the school store and c) mom just baked THREE cakes (!) and finally d) people who are in grade 12 need more food (especially chocolate) than the regular person. It was scientifically proven
• I am currently writing this blog post in a messy living room (weird, considering that my I-can-spot-a-mess-from-miles-away mom is sitting in the same room as me)
• And that is about it

I might even have to stop blogging altogether for the next 4-5 months because of school. Which is no fun, but I need really high grades this year. (!)

How has your life been lately? :]

TGIF (?)

From Mondays till Thursdays, I anticipate the arrival of Friday. Fridays mean I don't have school, I don't have to wake up at 6:30, and struggle to keep up with teachers while I'm half asleep. Fridays mean I can have a proper breakfast (instead of the apple I have every other morning, or the single piece of gum I chew when there are no apples and I'm late), I can sit and read or draw or watch TV... But to what extent is that true?

Being in grade 12, I'm supposed to study each and every single lesson the day I take it, not stack them all up until the exams. What I do is that I postpone the studying till Friday. I postpone homework till Friday. I postpone copying notes till Friday. I postpone cleaning my room till Friday. I postpone blogging till Friday. And then....

Friday arrives. With so many things to do.

I do have a relatively healthier breakfast. I do wake up a little late. I don't struggle to keep up with boring teachers. But then, I get my school bag (which probably weighs more than 10 kg with my books in it), and spread my notebooks and pens and graph paper and calculator on my desk. (It's not a nice thing to look at).

That's Friday for me.

TGIF, I mean it. Thank God it's Friday, even though I have so much homework to do on Fridays.

The bright side is that, even though I have to study, I can do it in the warmth of my own house (not too far away from our fridge. I can still text my friends and sing and scribble and doodle..
    

Thank God it's Friday.
