Finals/TV Shows

Finals are finally over. Thank God school is done though - I was getting really sick of the constant tests and stress. Like seriously... just take a look at this tumblr post I made a while ago about school:
That nagging feeling in the back of your head telling you to finally start doing that project that was assigned to you a while back. Or at least study for an upcoming test. That’s my problem. Yet still, you wait and you wait until the day before and then start freaking out because you didn’t do a thing. This crude cycle rolling over and over again until you’re finally sick of it. By that time, it’s summer and the cycle gets to start again in the fall. 
What a sick school system. 
Oh gosh. It's all so true, but now that school is done I don't care as much. I just want to space out and relax all summer. Have that feeling where you have no obligations what-so-ever that you actually forget what day it is. That feeling where all you look forward to is hang out with friends and family and eat good food all month long.

Anyways, over big breaks I have this idea to always try to start watching one new show. Last summer it was Glee and Pretty Little Liars. Later on, I even started watching New Girl. I figured PLL got a little boring after a while. I mean, it was an okay show, but I just hated how long it's taking them to find out who A is. What can I say, I'm an impatient person.
I absolutely loved New Girl. Zooey Deschanel became my new obsession for a while. She's just so cute and bubbly. Definitely a unique one out of all the other actors.
Unfortunately, because of school I just kind of went M.I.A. with the whole watching New Girl thing. The only one I kept up with barely was Glee. Hope to watch some more New Girl this summer.
Two shows that I started up recently were Legend of Korra and Vampire Diaries. Here's a post I wrote on tumblr talking about my first impression of it (sorry for the tumblr posts here, they were at the spur of the moment and I feel they can best explain it.... and I'm quite a lazy one.):
Just a show I’ve been watching recently. Been liking it so far. 
It’s not as great as Avatar: The Last Airbender, but the plot is still good. I just don’t like the characters as much as the older show. Plus, it’s kind of bothering me at the amount of 3D features they include in Legend of Korra.
{And for those of you that actually watched today’s episode: MAKO!! ♥ ♥ I wonder what’s going to happen to him and Korra cause I really suspected something but now him and that other girl are together…}

It's definitely a cartoon that's not too childish. Sure, it has to do with bending and is shown on Nickelodean, but even my uncle likes it. It's packed with action and love in the perfect combination. I'm always excited to watch these shows because they leave awesome cliff hangers as well. I seriously recommend it. It's not as good as Avatar: The Last Airbender, but still great.
The other day my friend was texting me and she said that she's going to Canada. Before the day she left, she said she was watching a couple of The Vampire Diaries episodes which got me thinking about maybe choosing that as my Summer TV show. I mean, if someone liked it, maybe I should give it a shot.

So here I am today watching 4 episodes of The Vampire Diaries at 1:25am. The series is actually not that bad so far. Every episode has something scary that poops the crap out of me though. The edgyness of the show with the focus of love has gotten me hooked. I want to watch the rest all night until I'm caught up. Too bad I have to be awake for packing tomorrow since I'm going to Canada (coincidentally regarding my friend) on Sunday. Maybe I'll watch The Vampire Diaries on my phone throughout the car ride.

Alright, we'll it's time to retire for the night. Sweet dreams, my lovelies!

Personal Agenda

I was recently inspired by another blogger to carry an agenda with me. The ones the school had were so drab and I always forgot to write in it.
So when I was digging through my closet, I found a Kate Spade personal planner. I remember I got it back in 5th grade when I stacked up "Ahern Bucks" for doing good things or answering questions. Basically, we could spend that money on things we want at the end of the year that my teacher supplied. See, the thing is, that I'm pretty surprised that I picked this up. Nonetheless, I'm super happy! This even came with extra fillers for notes and to-do lists. So basically this was around 5 years old when I got it since the calendar was from 2000, but it didn't look used at all. Maybe someone gave it as a gift to her and she thought her students would like it since she doesn't use it. I searched it up online yesterday and apparently the one I have is the first authentic Kate spade planner. It ranges from $40-$80 online still and originally retailed for $200. I wonder how much it cost when I got it. I still can't believe that my teacher just gave this expensive item to her students, but am really happy to have it.
The colors inside are bright- with the tabs and pens I use. Plus, it has cute little pictures of purses, etc! I can actually see myself use this because I'd be motivated to use something so pretty unlike my school agenda. I'll be using this planner for everything- not just school.
Unfortunately I only have the monthly planner for 2000 and when I searched it online, the refills themselves are around $28. Way too expensive! And I'm also convinced that Kate spade purposely makes other refills incompatible with this so we'd have to buy Kate Spade ones. I guess I'll just finish up the ones from 2000 and just change the dates until the end of the year.
Oh and I also organized my backpack=everything in the right folders.
Finally getting organized, you know?

List of things I need to do:

  • To do my schoolwork quickly and effectively. No distractions, not this time.
  • Eat healthier. 
    • The other day I found out my body mass composition was 24 lbs. out of 105 lbs. That means that I'm on the border of 'good amount of fat' and 'marginal.' I must be subject to more diseases, etc than girls with an 'excellent' score then. Now I'm sort of scared. 
  • Be nicer to my family.
    • As in, respect them, listen to them, don't show them unnecessary attitude. If I don't like anything, I should leave, not show my discontent. 
  • Keep an open mind. 
  • Enjoy life. 
    • Not spend all my time thinking about negative things. I should be grateful for what I have. 
  • Get a good job in the summer. 
    • Hoping to apply to stores like Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, Bath and Bodyworks, Bed Bath and Beyond (pretty much anywhere they would take me and I fit the requirements... do I have to be a minimum of 18 to work at some of these?)
What are your goals?

Paradox

Today was a tiring day. Woke up early to study for an AP Euro test, so I was awake for quite a while. Around 8:30pm, my brother, my friend, and I went to this show held by a club at our school called Paradox. Let me just say, it was very strange.


"Boom boom hah! Sit the sit down."
