#458 - Mornin'

This was inevitable. Staying up late yet again, I mean. Or should I say early since it's technically early morning? I digress. I blame time constraints and crazy deadlines but perhaps I am just naturally slow at understanding and doing things. Slow and steady wins the race? I hope so too. And I find that I feel incredibly challenged when I am faced with a rather daunting task and try to be in a sorry state of denial, delaying as long as I can (which is super shitty and is something that I regret over and over again in the future, let me tell you), but when I'm forced to start and as I make progress, it's like I've overcome these rather imaginary hurdles and that's totally cool.
My relationship with work is like a sine curve. I go up one day and then I go down the next. I'll just repeat to myself that everything is a learning curve.Though talking with Bitter and W right after finishing work (such a joyful moment and massive relief!) made the day a bit better. Oh yep I've been dying to lounge around and do nothing but enjoy the weekend and socialise but I just can't make time for it now since everything was crammed into these last few weeks and the upcoming fortnight. Only a bit longer left before I get to fully relax! 
Campus Hub this week was incredibly cheerful with random Irish and Germans serenading everyone with songs from 'The Sound of Music' and other songs I've no idea of their names but were so jolly and made lunch break better for all of us :) ASOS did the promotion on Thursday at uni which I was kinda 'meh' towards since there were around three hundred people in the queue. Mooting was fine this week because we got a bye and yep, I'm definitely getting more comfortable with people I don't know too well.
It was my dear Mum's birthday this Wednesday and we just had a quiet family celebration at home. I'd have to say I love going to other people's parties but when it's my turn I'm just like hell no. I hate being the center of attention and I always feel so awkward when everyone sings happy birthday; I just like spending birthdays at home with very little fanfare and celebration because I'm turning into a homebody haha. Oh and I really respect how amazing my parents are. They came to this country with little money and knew very few people and yet they still managed to work hard, persevere and get to the comfortable state they're in now. They're modest but such great people and I'm not just saying that because they're my parents - you meet them and you'll know what I mean ;D And the next three Saturdays are going to be jam-packed too and possibly with awkward encounters.
Oh yep, worst mark-to-ratio assessment (so far)? That entire week of nodding off in every place outside my house and sleep deprivation and long hours completely paid off, I'm elated :)
And when I was researching on rather brain-exploding stuff, I found that male feminists are a very real phenomenon. Freaking.Awesome.
Yeah I think it's time to sign off now and continue working but I want to share a quote that I think is great at summing up everyone - so Tumblr-esque- I quite adore it:

“You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in. You are what you take from these. You are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner.

You are a collective of every experience you have had in your life. You are every single second of every single day. So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and let the colors fill your mind until there is nothing left to do but explode. There are no wrong answers. Inspiration is everything. Sit back, relax, and take it all in.
Now, go out and create something.”- Jac Vanek

First day of September now. Seriously, how fast is time flying?

EDIT:
WTF MASTERCHEF. Seriously disappointed!After so many episodes of rooting for Mr Million-Dollar Smile-with-a-heart-of-gold, he lost out to someone who didn't deserve to win, someone who can't handle pressure well and cries all the time to gain sympathy. At times like this, I'm just like damn the women who cry for such a shitty pathetic reason and tell everyone their sob story. George, Gary and Matt, shit judging strikes again.
