A Gigantic Leap
My laptop is like a black hole where it sucks up all my time. In this holidays, every day, the first thing I do is turn my laptop on and go online. It's almost like an itch I can't scratch-satisfy.
I check my mail, go to Facebook, browse on 9gag, sneak a peek at on-sale items on online stores, and watch video after video after video on Youtube from all my favourite channels. And it's a time-consuming thing. You wake up, it's almost 12.00pm, the next thing you know, it's already dinner-time. =.=
Today, I spent the entire day watching Nigahiga videos on Youtube. (He's one of my favs, and his little ADHD antics are cute! I love watching his videos :P)
Yeah, I'm pretty amazed at myself too. @.@
But every now and then, I hear this annoying voice in my head telling me that I've actually got work to do. Plenty of stuff that I was supposed to do during the holidays before the new semester begins. (Which is soon! Darn it. >.<)
Okay, the first week flew by in a flash. Excusable, cos it was Chinese New Year, you know, hanging out all day with the cousins and relatives at Grandma's place. Of course. So I told myself, I'm giving myself a week off, tops. You know, for working so hard last semester on my thesis and all.
A week turned to ten days, and now it's been 2 weeks.
And I have yet to get any actual work done. Sure, I've opened up the relevant documents and fiddled around with this and that. But no real progressive work, as of yet. *sigh*
Here's my list of to-do stuff that I need to get done in the next couple of weeks remaining of my holidays (in order of priority):
These may not seem like much, but honestly, #1 and #2 are already a lot for my plate. Hope I get to strike off most of them as soon as possible. >.<
Looking at this list makes me feel a little stressed out again. Maybe writing them down and telling you about how guilty I feel may just be the motivation I need to get started. *crosses fingers*
I guess, this counts as progress, somewhat. :D Don't they say that the first step is always the hardest? Hooray for me! ;)
So to reward myself for this gigantic leap in progress, I'll go out on a movie date tomorrow!
Will let you know how the movie goes! xD

Here's my list of to-do stuff that I need to get done in the next couple of weeks remaining of my holidays (in order of priority):
- Analyze results of data collected for research. Write at least a rough draft of chapters 4 and 5.
- Prepare some lesson plans so I won't be going to school completely unprepared and empty-handed.
- Get passport-sized photos of me with my face facing front for my convocation. (Sigh, the ones I do have are of me slightly facing right. I was trying to get my good angle. Bodoh. Now I have to make new ones because these can't be used for formal purposes. *facepalm*)
- Do a makeover of my wardrobe to be more teacher-appropriate in preparation for my practicum end of this month.
- Re-pack the work clothes I'll be bringing over to uni.
- Use up my RM200 1Malaysia voucher for new novels and stationery.
These may not seem like much, but honestly, #1 and #2 are already a lot for my plate. Hope I get to strike off most of them as soon as possible. >.<
