Procrastination

The Title Says it All....

It is the best time of the year for high school students in ontario.... NOT!! It's exam time once again, change of semester from first to the glorious second, (I dont know about you but I deffinitely find second semester to always be the best.) stress eating, cramming, and doritos become your best friend, and procrastination causes deadly side effects.

I am going to confess, I am a major procrastinator, I tend to sit for five hours "studying" only to have spent half, (if not more) of the time on facebook, or online. In fact this entire post is an excuse for me to not study.... But, i dont want this entire post to go completely to waste, so I have decided to compile a list of things for myself, (or anyone writting an exam) that will help them/me succeed.

Seven Test Taking Tips

1. Relax, Breathe, and get some sleep! (a good nights rest = clearer head= better thinking= better marks!)

2. Eat Something that doesnt fall into the Chips food group, i know its tempting, but trust me a little water and some fruit goes a long way.

3. Revise until you feel confident. (dont over do it, dont cram, and really, really study!)

4. Take time to yourself, do something non- study related. (if you focus so much on studying chances are you will forget someting. Dont linger over it too much.)

5. DONT rely on caffeine, its just like gravity, with every up, theres going to be a down, its inevitable.

6. think positive! What's the worst that could happen? You dont get the mark you want, don't worry its not the end of the world.

7. If you're me... TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE!

Questions, Questions, Qeustions

Questions, Questions, Questions...

I don't know what it is lately but it seems as though everything is becoming a question. Once upon a time i had all the answers to anything i needed,

favorite color? Purple.
Project due? next Week.
Best friends? tons :).

But now it seems as though every answer has another question.

Will i get a good average? Will you pass math?
Do you like him? Does he like you?
What will you do? What do you like to do?

it seems almost impossible to do anything without thinking of something else. like every thing i run into I'm hit with another wall. Hmmm... I'm slowly discovering that life is much more complicated than it seems. Or maybe im just losing my mind.... :S Oh the sweet joys of being a teenager.

November 11 2010

Today was a great day to think and meditate over everything that has happened throughout history. It is as everyone should know remembrance day! So in honor of this day and in memory of everyone and anyone who was affected by war, I decided to write a poem, here it goes.

We Rose At Light

Together we stand,
A Fortress, strong,
our fears awakened,
all time is gone,

we rise at light,
we stand, we fight,
to save the souls,
from terror and plight,

stumbling from ground to ground,
we cannot see with blinding sound,
earths shatter and lives drop spent,
this is but a consequence,

thoughts of lives form the past,
children, mothers waiting back,
tears shed in utter anguish,
it doesn't make it any less,

but we won! and fought for life,
no battle sought or earthly plight,
compares to this, our pact to peace,
when arms went down and fighting ceased,

Together we stood,
a fortress, strong,
our fears awoke,
but that time is gone,

and now our memory does stay,
for those who live here everyday,
we ask but one simple quest,
remember this,
LEST WE FORGET.

Sorry!!! D:

I Know, I know,

its been a long time since my last post..... err, a few months...ish. Im kinda mad at myself because i wanted to oh so very badly continue with this lovely blogging site, so im now making a blogging vow to myself to at least post something three times a week. Every day was a bit much for me, (especially now with school and whatnot....) so i have decided three times a week should be good :) Again i am truly sorry for my absolutely busy life!

So whats new with me? Not too much, been busy as usual, hating math, (But this will be an extremely long sob story so I'll save that for another post.), working on writing the soundtrack of my schools entry in this years drama festival!!!! (Whoot whoot!) Once again joined showchoir, enviornmental, chaplaincy, council of presidents, OSAID, and was asked to be on the arts council. ( which has some pretty neat ideas this year.) On top of that i am volunteering Tuesdays, working on a play with another church, (not mine, but my mothers friends) AAANNNDDDD, i work at the library. All of this plus making time for my social life, but of course because of university in two years, school is definitely my first priority. :)

As you can see from the above paragraph, i am utterly swamped. D: but it isnt so bad, because (as you can see) I still have a spare moment while i study for tomorrows geography, (yuck :( ) test i have a spare moment to share my thoughts. :). Well hope you enjoyed my random tid bits on my life. Hope you have an awesome day.... umm... night! I am so looking forward to reading everyone's blogs again! I missed this site! Happy Blog Reunion!

My Heart Skipped a Beat

August 1st

(This is what basically happened today, this and I went to an amazingly fun wedding! So yes this was a part of an email sent to a friend explaining my Sunday morning at mass.)


Oh my goodness!

Today was terrifying! I sing every week in the church choir and I went to churh as usual at 8 to practice for the 8:30 mass. So I'm there we get through all the songs for mass except the psalm, because the organ player hadn't arrived yet. We wait, and wait, finally there is five minutes until the mass is due to start and someone tips them off that I play piano....

The piano, is not the organ.

*shudders* this thing had three rows of keys and like ten pedals! When I went through it the first time I went to hit the pedal to hold the notes so it would sound pretty, but that "pedal" turned out to be the thing that controls the volume, ten pedals, and I hit the only one that does that... oh good lord. In five minutes I learnt the song. I was so lucky that the psalm this week was in the key of c. No sharps or flats and I practically had sight read the entire thing while playing it I was so scared. My eye was twitching I had like a cold sweat my entire body shaking except weirdly enough my Hands and arms were perfectly still... Anyways I played the entire thing with no mistakes!!! And next week if the guy still isn't there I am up for round two... My lord this will be a day I will always remember.

Good Day!!

YAY!

July 31st

There isn't much to say today except.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!!!!!
