Stress AND Procrastination

This past few days have been nothing but stress to me because I have had to do nothing but study. But was I really studying? NO! Instead I procrastinated my studies and watched movies and Facebook-ed all night long. I was stressed because I knew I had a College Algebra exam on Friday and studying to do as most of my mid-term exams were coming up.

This was very unlike me. I guess I have not developed the mood or motivation to push myself to study. I knew as a matter of fact that I had to do it fast or risk not getting good results this Semester. I just had to buck up.

One phonecall to my mum in France did the trick. I really did not want her to worry when she was on holiday but I "NEEDED" some nagging. And when I finally got some, it was all ok. I started studying for my exams and bucking up.

It was then that I also realised that I was running out of money in my savings account. This added even more stress to my head just when I was on the verge of de-stressing. My sister managed to provide me with help now. Which was amazing of her! I always loved my sister because she's always there when i'm in need of help.

My brother Eric, (well not actually Brother but Best Friends for the past 6 years) also helped me by continuously motivating me to do better. Like when I signed into MSN Messenger, he would tell me to log off and study. And I developed that habit which helped me to study even more efficiently.

I also want to talk about a weekend I had back at home. Since my mum was ini Europe and my dad was busy with Church stuff, my sister and I were to represent my parents and attend a wedding of a relative. It was then that my sister and I realised how much we had grown up from kids to the adults we are now.

For one thing is that we were mingling with the elder crowd and were having mature conversations with everyone. Even my Uncle's and Aunties were very proud of us. It was a diffrent turn for us..

Till next time..

WIth love,
