Daily(ish) Blog Post [#5] - "Last Friday Night"

 Hello all!

(As you may have guessed.. today's song that's stuck in my head while writing this blog is Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night". )

As for what happened today.. it was pretty mundane. Like.. nothing interesting really happened. Well, except for a few things.

You see, I get quite distressed whenever someone steals something of mine or misplaces it, like any other human being.. except I get REALLY worried.

It's something I've always done. Thinking about the worst-case scenario. Always.

Anyways, someone stole a glue-stick of mine. A. Fucking. Glue-stick. (Well they actually only stole the lid of it.) I was super afraid that I'd have to throw the whole thing in the bin as it'd make my bag a sticky mess, luckily some classmates had actually retrieved it and (thankfully) my glue-stick was saved! (told you today was pretty mundane.)

Here's some more things that happened:

1. My friend, who I had found out yesterday was a fan of The Last Leg, requested me to send a link to Adam Hills' "Best Foot Forward". I assume they're going to buy it.. or not. Depends on whether I get an answer back.

2. I've noticed lately that I've been feeling more confident.. mentally I mean. I'm quite a social person but holy shit have I been more confident with talking to people lately. I like this new me. Very, very, VERY much.

As I'm writing this blog currently, it's around quarter to ten. I have just finished doing one part of my coursework and then I need to do another part. I also just remembered I forgot to do my English homework. 

Oh well.

I've also decided to binge-watch the show "Death In Paradise", which is probably going to be my go-to from now on whenever I want to study/do homework and have something on in the background, which is nice. 

However, it's almost time to go to sleep so..


Once again, goodnight!

Daily(ish) Blog Post [#4] - "Wild Heart"

Hello all!

Wow, it's been a while.. hasn't it. I can't really maintain things properly, it seems.

I will try and give you a summary of the week, though I do (again) have an extremely bad memory (a mixture of tiredness & stress, I think) so some of the details will be quite vague.


Monday - A Recap

So, Monday was normal. Went to school, had classes, y'know.. the usual. I don't remember much, however.. I was FINALLY able to order a copy of Adam Hills' book, "Best Foot Forward"! (It was 50% for the pictures and 50% for the stories.)


Tuesday - A Recap

On a Tuesday, I stay in for MUCH longer than usual because of extra tuition.. so I was SUPER eager when I found out my copy of "Best Foot Forward" had arrived that day.. honestly I was considering skipping the session just to read that book. 

I ended up reading around two-thirds of the book in one sitting. Mad, right?

Honestly though, while I won't give a full review of the book (I haven't even finished it yet..)

I will say this: I'm currently enjoying it.. VERY MUCH. It's got loads of stories from him starting his career in stand-up and his career in radio! It's also got some pictures in it, which I thought were pretty cool.


Wednesday - A Recap

So I had decided to take the Best Foot Forward on a little adventure. This was mainly for one reason: To finish reading it. You see, I have two other books that I've been meaning to finish, however I haven't gotten around to doing so, unlike this book.

My logic was basically this: Finish the Adam Hills' book, do the rest & then re-read the Adam Hills' book. 

Me reading the book was also how I was able to find out that a friend of mine actually watches The Last Leg! I've literally never been able to find someone who actually has a proper(ish) interest that is the same as mine! Now I've got a Last Leg Buddy! (Yes I'm calling them that.)

As of right now, I'm almost done with the book. Only several more chapters to go. 

I was meant to also do some coursework today, but I got kinda sidetracked with the fact that The Sims 4 became freely available for me to download. So I played that instead. 

Who knows when I'll ever actually do something in the way I intended it to? Honestly though, the fault is on me, I can't seem to get the motivation needed, and when I do, it always feels.. too late for me to do anything.

Oh well. 


Until next time,

- M 


(p.s: This is titled "Wild Heart" because it's the current song that is stuck in my head. Expect the next posts to be titles from various songs.)

Daily(ish) Blog Post [#3] - "Monotonous"

Hello!

Do excuse my tardiness of posting. I've been busy.. scrolling through Twitter. (and fangirling over Adam Hills, but that's besides the point.)

I've been getting off to somewhat of a strong start, since i've actually started submitting my homework in on time. For some reason, we've been given like DOUBLE the homework than we did last year.. I get that it's important but c'mon man... let me just chill.

Anyways, enough complaining, i'll tell you what i've been doing for the past two weeks. (Short answer: almost nothing.) I've got a pretty bad memory, so I'll actually just tell you what happened yesterday & today.


Monday - A Recap

When I first came in, I didn't have my pencil case with me, I assumed I had left it at home while completing something, so I didn't think much of it. Turns out I had lost it.

My timetable for that day was SUPER boring. And I mean SUPER. FUCKING. BORING. I spent most of the day trying ever so hard not to fall asleep. 

I don't remember much of what happened after that, I wasn't feeling great emotionally, so I spent that evening endulging myself in some Hillsy content. (sad, I know.)


Tuesday - A Recap

Came in, felt pretty shit. (A culmination of feelings from yesterday.) Had two hours of Computer Science, did some programming and whatnot (I mostly looked at Wikipedia, because that's what I do when I'm bored). I also found my pencil case. Turns out, I had correctly guessed where I left it.. and by some stroke of luck, the teacher (or any other students for that matter) hadn't taken it.

Went to Maths, I hadn't fully completed my homework but the teacher let me out since I literally spent over an hour on it (and it got WAY TOO overwhelming for me), I was let off & told it was "Submitted".

Had two hours of English tuition, was pretty boring. 

I'd describe the last hour of that tuition session as.. painful. I felt COMPLETELY out of place there, like I didn't really belong in that group. Everyone there at least knew eachother, and I sat like the weirdo in the corner (literally), who didn't really know what the hell was going on. Sad thing is, these are compulsory. 

Oh well. I'm gonna have to keep attending. Hopefully I'll start to take a liking to these sessions...




As I'm writing this blog post, it's currently 9:34 PM. I've been wanting to start studying during my free time, but I'm finding it quite hard.. I don't really know how to motivate myself? I'm probably gonna spend the rest of the night watching YouTube or browsing Twitter.. so:


Goodnight!
