*100 - unproductiveness

Here I am again.

I wish I could be like some hardworking souls out there who complain about being "sick of mugging". I only wish I could complain about that!

After all, I've done so little mugging that I can hardly say I'm sick of it. I just don't want go near my books.

So what have I been doing?

1. There's a perfectionist lurking in me that makes me positively anal about whether my summarised, handwritten notes look pretty or not. Which causes me to, on a bad day, recopy my notes over and over again for a few hours, for up to 4 times, just because it wasn't summarised enough or the colour scheme sucked or it didn't fit into the column I wanted it to fit into or I used too much liquid paper (which makes the notes ugly, really!) or some trivial nonsense like that.

Example of my summarised (ie. squished) and prettily coloured (ie. bimbotic) notes:



2. My latest obsession: Watching video clips of ballets or modern ballet pieces. My favourite is in the middle, somewhat elevated. It's a modern pointe pas de deux, but they dance together so seamlessly that it seems like just one dancer moving endlessly. Sharp, but fluid. Amazing choreography, amazing technique.



And then there's this music video of Sting (the rock star) and Alessandra Ferri (ballerina) - She does a modern pointe dance and together with the music and all, it's really beautiful. And because I was nice, I uploaded it! Sting & Ferri music video (: [Click on the link! It'll work for 7 days, haha.]



Unearthly arches!! Oh and, the vid's really big but well worth the wait, in my opinion (:

3. Going online. To blog, blog surf, email, chat online, blahdeblah.

4. Fiddling with making earrings. Salesperson Evelyn says: GO TO Elisa & Evelyn AND ORDER EARRINGS NOW! (: Haha. And a bulk order of um, what, 16 pairs of earrings (!!) has kept us busy. But earrings are fun, yay!

5. And the other usual stuff. Sleeping. (When Justin came over to study, we fell asleep on the bed for THREE HOURS after lunch, and Mummy had to wake us up by enticing us with mashed potatoes. Tsk.) Eating (Jeslyn you aren't the only one). Talking to people. Reading. Wandering around aimlessly. The occasional attempt at shopping. Etc etc etc.


SIGH. Unproductive, unmuggerish Evelyn. I want to be a mugger but I just can't! ): Anything seems more attractive than sitting down to study.

Ok. I resolve to do Nitrogenous Compounds after this, bleugh.

And go swimming and play pool after that. Hoho. I hope I don't drown though, for some reason my calves are cramping at every step!

Tata.


(Oh gosh, this is entry #100 on this blog! Latte-love, you have served me well.)
