Far from here with more room to fly..
Hi, I'm procrastinating; not good, I know.
The reason why I am passing time is because I have deemed myself to be 'on schedule,' which involves some apparent schedule that I was not aware of but was thought up in my head when exam period began. I guess I'm that sort of crazy organised person; I really should try for Treasurer of the Environmental Club next year..Anyhow, I suppose the whole 'schedule' is quite debatable, considering that my ability to learn isn't a y=x relationship and most likely resembles some sort of logarithmic graph, what with 'rate of learning' decreasing as I delve deeper into the subject and difficulty increases. So in conclusion, I'm procrastinating.
Oh Merlin, ramble much?
I have a valid excuse, I swear. Number One: I got to sleep at 5am. Number Two: Reyan made me wake up at 10am so I could wake him up. I don't know how that makes sense. Reyan, get an alarm clock! I am considerably sleep deprived here, I should take this as an opportunity to correct my sleeping pattern.
A while ago I was browsing through Sass & Bide's current collection and oddly fell in love with one of their pieces. I do appreciate their sense of style, but it has never really appealed to me all that much, so this find was a surprise. Said piece was a very cute, checkered bubble skirt called Letter to the Editor.
However there were a couple of issues surrounding this skirt; it was sold out everywhere (and trust me, I tried very hard to get my greedy hands on Miss-Letter-to-the-Editor), not to mention the more pressing issue, which was the $500 price tag. Good thing is was sold out.
So imagine my delight when, a couple of weeks ago, I spotted an almost identical copy, although in black and white, at Portmans. I promised myself that if I studyed hard and was completely 'on schedule,' I'd let myself buy it. Two weeks later, having hopefully passed my Math exam and deemed myself 'on schedule,' I set out to get my greedy little hands on Miss Letter-to-the-Editor-copy. This is somewhat embarassing and superficial, but this skirt was the one main reason I studyed (apart from not wanting to fail). I had been thinking about this Portman's skirt for two weeks, even dreaming about it, so imagine my dismay when I realised that this skirt just wasn't as awesome as I thought it would be. It didn't have as much 'poof,' wasn't as cute and just wasn't very good quality; I guess that's what you pay $500 for.
Having realised that the hunt for the skirt was over I trudged around the mall feeling quite down; for at the moment it seemed that I had made a futile trip to the shops and was wasting valuable studying time. Since Reyan was finishing off an assignment and I didn't want him to fail, I considered going home but luckily enough bumped into my Year 11 Methods friend (actually he's in First Year Engineering now..), Andrew. We had sushi for lunch and chatted for a couple of hours as he was also waiting for a friend. I always find it surprising to realise which people you keep in contact with after high school.
After Andrew left, my mood was considerably lifted, as friends do seem to do that, and I happily window shopped for a bit, which led me to Witchery. I've always loved going through their collections as all their clothing is made out of soft cottons and silks, however I've never found anything to be overly appealing to me. This changed the minute I stumbled across a silk/lace polka dot sheer jacket that happened to be on sale. I've been looking for some sort of sheer bolero and it seems like I've found it. A much better buy than a badly made polyester skirt that was almost double the price, I think.
Excuse the littered clothes and shoes, not to mention the tired expression, I sort of have better things to be doing than cleaning and looking pretty. But, oh yes, I am rather partial to polka dots.
Soon after Reyan picked me up and I accompanied him to uni where he handed in his completed assignment. A stop off at McDonalds on the way home, to fatten me up with a chocolate sundae, was a nice way to complete my day :)
