Meaningless lyrics and catchy pop beats are perfect for moods like this.

P.S. I'm not sure which Gaga look Mercedes was imitating but that's the closest one I could find >.<

You and IAugust 19, 2010
I woke up feeling sort of guilty for buying myself pretty heels instead of investing in a pair of neutral-coloured flats yesterday, but when we received our results for our May/June exams, I felt that the shoes were a well-deserved present to myself. Out of eight papers, I only had one unsatisfactory result!I hope your results were as good as you wanted them to be! However, if they were anything short of your expectations, don't worry! Retake as many papers as you feel necessary, keeping in mind how much time is left before your next exams. Whatever you do, don't underestimate yourself. I'm sure everyone is capable of achieving much more than they think, but with a negative mentality, you won't get yourself very far. I strongly believe that it's all a matter of perception. Always stay positive because your mind-set plays a huge role on the amount of effort you put into your studies. It's also important to have some sort of motivation or goal to help you keep going, to help you strive to reach your aim.
I always tell myself,
Keep your head in the game and your eyes on the prize.
What's the point of driving yourself mad with stress when you only live once? Is it worth it?
By the way, I'm back on Formspring. You can ask me anything here.

To striveAugust 12, 2010
I know I told myself I'd rarely go online. I told you that I'd rarely see my friend, the Internet. Yet here I am... visiting said friend... Please don't hate me :(The thing is, I know myself well enough to expect me to take 'study breaks' far more often than I deserve them. BUT what matters more to me than getting straight A's is improvement. I think it's so important to set a goal for yourself, be it long-term and life-changing or daily yet vital, and at the end of the day be able to say, 'I might not have achieved my goal today, but I will continue to endeavour until I get what I want.' Personally, I have great satisfaction in crossing off elements on to-do lists; that alone is enough of an incentive to get things done. Teehee, I am easily amused :)
I basically just wanted to say that though I haven't completely curbed my thirst for the Internet, I've toned down my usage considerably. Mind, I need to check my e-mail and Facebook almost daily as they're some of the ways of communicating with my parents. So yes, I do go on Facebook, but I mostly ignore my notifications and the News Feed.
P.S.
I'm converting to British English, so if you could be so kind as to point out where I spell something wrong, I'd appreciate it. For seven years of my life I studied at two different American schools. That is my excuse.

Hello all :)I wanted to go to the gym today. No, not in the 'I want to go to the gym, but then I end up not going at all' way. I actually got in my work-out gear (sweats and Converse, really) and had my water bottle and sweat towel ready. I even walked the short distance to the building. Before I could leave the elevator I took, two of my friends got in and told me that there were too many people waiting for the treadmills and other jog-machines(?). Therefore I didn't even step out of the elevator. Instead, I trudged back to my room and resumed the task of being a bum. And yes, I do find it ironic that even though I planned to exercise, I chose the elevator against walking up and down four flights of stairs.
For when I do manage to get all the way in the gym, I like to listen to 'Tik Tok' while I jog/cycle because every time I feel like I can't take it any more, Ke$ha tells me 'Don't stop! make it pop, DJ blow my speakers up'. Therefore I feel that I really shouldn't stop. Indeed, this might just be the only way to keep me on the jog-machines long enough to break a sweat.
Do you have any suggestions for work-out music? or songs that you like listen to while exercising? Leave me a comment in the comment box ...if you want :)
