I hate the fact that I am severly underperforming in my academics despite my desperation to graduate at least with a cum laude. I hate the fact that I just can't seem to get my ass moving from in front of the computer when I have to study or my brain to cooperate. And whatever it is that's making me procastinate like this, it's not leaving.
The worst thing about it is that I need to get my act together really soon because in a year real life starts to kick in and I'm out of the university.
Yeah I kinda need to get a job. Something which I only realized when the mom, the kuya and I were talking in our car on the way home from the Flores. While the kuya was telling me to rethink about applying to a call center (which is something I don't want to do) and the mom remarking that I'd make a good accent trainer or a tutor, I was thinking holy shit I still have no portfolio. Because I truly want to be a writer and want to write as a living I need a portfolio to convince people that I can write and not just analyse books.
Something which my whole family has been bugging me to do since I entered college. And something which, like the cause of the downfall of my Nat Sci grade, I procastinated and delayed until now. So now I am furiously trying to round up a number of things I have written and writing some new stuff to be sent out to various publications.
But I seem to have lost the ability to write a coherent article to be read by people other than my friends. Shit.
real life,
