Project 365 here 365Pieces
I wasn’t in school today. I hadn’t been feeling to well for the past few days so it’s nice to be able to sit at home and catch up on some work that you should have done weeks ago. At 8 o clock I woke up and informed my Dad I wasn’t feeling well and he said “Well we’ll see how you’re feeling in school”. I think my jaw hit the floor because then he said “Oh, right, yes maybe you should stay at home”. I know education is important but dear god man, is one day off due to illness going to do me any sort of harm? It’s much more beneficial to rest or whatever.
So far today I have done more school-work than I did for homework from September to December. And I didn’t even do a lot. I did the whole module worth of film studies work and wrote the script for out 1 minute remake. We’re doing Paranormal Activity. Hopefully I’ll be able to upload the finished project here. I also did some work for the Cló Beo thing. I am still unsure as to what it is exactly but I feel like I should be doing something. I’m basically translating the best parts of my film reviews into Irish and hoping they fit the bill.
Y’see, I’m trying to get out of this lazy streak I’ve been in for the past year or so. I did little to no study for my Junior Cert; I just did my homework really well. And it worked. And now that I have no exams to look forward to (not in the good anticipation way, in the working towards something sense) very little work is getting done. I don’t particularly mind the lack of work in TY (what am I saying, it’s great!) but I need to sort my other shit out. I have done little or no drum practice since December and I am more unfit than I was before. Now that I’m a ~green belt with the karate dojo thing I go to I feel like I’m letting them down by being one of the most unfit members. It’s kind of embarrassing.
I am not one for new year’s resolutions but I need to get myself in gear for all this stuff. I’m trying to be an ~interesting person or whatever so mediocrity in these pursuits is not something I want to accept.
I’m aware that I sound a bit moany but I don’t mean to. I feel kind of invigorated writing this. I’m not willing to write a list of things I am to achieve in 2011 because that is just jynxing it. I tried that in 2009 and it was a complete disaster. I didn’t do it for 2010 and it was the best year ever. So I’ll follow the trend and avoid an achievement list for this year.
I don’t know how I got from taking the day off to discussing what I (don’t) aim to achieve this year. It’s much easier for me to blog this way though; it just comes out much easier. I hope this didn’t bore you though.
