Friday Five
Okay, so, it's Friday. But not just any Friday. Today is Friday the 1st of October.
Now, I know that I gushed over this yesterday. And I don't get why I'm writing another post (it is rather odd of me. But seriously, I just want to stop slacking off and be more social because I sorta have the social life of a rock).
Anyways, todays Friday Five (which I also think is my first Friday Five. Go me!) is a sort of random one (which I suppose it should be...)
5. Today I had to do an oral presentation on social media. Now, I am incredibly shy. I detest public speaking because of my social anxiety. I feel like people are judging me. So, to counter this, I decided that I should make my topic and presentation fun. I should be doing something that I enjoy. So, I did it on YouTube Phenomenoms. I talked about all the awesome YouTube memes like Trolololol, Boxxy, Double Rainbow, Leave Britney Alone, Old Spice etc... If you haven't heard of one or more of those things, look them up. Pure awesomeness, I tell you.
Now, the moral to this story is, if you do something that you like, then things won't be so bad. ^-^
Which leads me to...
4. So, I decided that Psychology might not be for me. I'm not really interested in it anymore. I'm thinking that I'll finish the school year as normal (since I have like a month left), and depending on how I feel, drop out, or continue. If I do drop out, I will look for a job (it'd be awesome if the job was at a book store :P) and get a folio ready for a creative writing course that I'm looking into doing. That's the plan for now. It might change, it might not. It'll depend on how this last month makes me feel.
3. GAH! I can't decide on what story I want to work on for NaNo. Vampiric zombie story? Or Beauty and the Beast/Greek mythology retelling. Or maybe a Princess and the Pea retelling with a gay/transgendered prince instead of a princess (woah..) Or a few urban fantasies, consisting of fairies and Death and bah! I can't decide.
I suppose in a week, I'll end up deciding. But for now, it's really bothering me.
2. I'm going to a wedding tomorrow. I barely know any of the people that are going to be there. And since I'm very shy and awkward and just generally anxious around people in general, I'll be sititng in a corner drinking Dr Pepper (because I have an addiction) and eating Reece's Pieces and Peanut Butter Cups (another addicction) and reading and writing (*sigh* yet another addiction). How awesome of me.
1. I don't know what's awesome enough to be number 1. Um... *thinks of something awesome* OH! I just ordered Dreadnought by Cherie Priest a few days ago. I am so glad that Borders ships from like the US. Otherwise, I'd have to wait till November for it, and I'll be too busy NaNo-ing to fangirl over Cherie Preist's work.
But seriously, I urge all of you to pick up Boneshaker. It is one of the best books I have read all year. Maybe even ever. *flails*
