Like, as if! New year resolutions never work do they? That depends on yourself really. If you don’t make them work, they never will. Take me for example. I was so excited to welcome 2006 last night that I made a mental list of my new year resolutions (I don’t even have a ‘mental’ budget, screw list of hopes and desires!). I’ve never been this excited before. Maybe because my holiday hasn’t been the most exciting one. Blame my bank account! Only have enough money to shop. I have to get my priorities right : shop or travel? I chose shopping.
Coming back to the original topic. No. 1 resolution : do academic related work for a solid 30 minutes without going to the loo, without picking up the phone to call u-know-who, without opening the jar to reach for malted milk biscuits, without clicking on MSN or YM to see who’s online, without reading people’s blogs, and you know what else. Bottom line is to do work without any self-cause distraction for 30 minutes. I have never EVER been able to do that in my whole life except for when I’m in the examination hall of course. That’s different.
So, I tried it. and whaddaya know? 10 minutes up and I was already reaching for my first malted milk biscuit of the day. nyahaha. That’s me. It’s alright, I have another 364 days to realise that resolution, insyaAllah. So no hurry JId!
Woke up today determined as hell to get half of my Trust essay done by tonight eventhough the deadline is in another two weeks’ time. Determined because my holiday will be cut short by the bloody BTN course whatever you call it and because I have a presentation to prepare and tons of reading to do. My determination however was short-lived as Nun told me that we, fellow PNB-Sotonians are exempted from the course because we have exams coming up after the holiday. That my friend, calls for a celebration! So in goes another malted milk biscuit. Nyehehe. Thereafter, numerous checking of who’s online, trips to the loo and kitchen, blog-hopping, and of course phone calls to u-know-who. Double the celebration as second-year law students in Soton do not have exams after Christmas hols. But the stress from my workload is equivalent to having exams okay. So what the heck? I am still not going for the course.
So, a day of new resolutions and determination has left my essay at what?…. 73 words! That’s 2927 words to go. Nyahahahahahah. Good ol’ JId. Adios everyone! Happy New Year!!!
