An update on the life and times of moi
So I just finished the toughest week all semester (at least I hope - I'm not out of the woods yet!) and feel quite exhausted and at the same time kind of pleased, because I made it through. And I know it wouldn't have been so bad if I'd done more of this stuff over Reading Week, but procrastination is very attractive sometimes. All the time. Every minute of my life. But at least after this week, I have learned to make full use of the calendar I have on my computer, and I wish I'd been using it way sooner because it is amazing.
Besides all that, it was a tough week emotionally because I was running waaay short on sleep which always puts me in a pretty depressed mood.
And then I had a dance competition on the weekend, and I got second while my friend got first, and I was only seven points away, and the three judges had placed me 1, 2, and 4, while she'd been placed 1, 2, and 3, so if I'd gotten a 3 instead of 4, we would have tied for first, which we both agree would have been the coolest thing ever. Also, it's just a little annoying, because I've never gotten 1st, even in lower levels, but this is my third 2nd in Prelims so far, so I'm going to make time to really work out and practise a ton over the next month for the next competition. Hm - it's not exactly giving something up, but maybe that'll be my lent thing. Or sort of - giving up some of the free time I waste on the computer in order to practise dance. Or something like that.
Also, speaking of dance, St Patty's Day is coming up, which has to be THE best day of the Irish dance year. Our dance school does outings the whole day - there's going to be four separate groups this year, and I'm so glad that all my best dance friends got in the same group as me. And a few of us have decided to carpool, so we're going to have a party car and stock up on shamrock cookies and play loud Irish music and have an amazing time overall. I cannot wait. Last year was amazing, and it looks like this is going to be even better. (Also, our group may be on tv! How cool is that!?)
And finally, my writing ability seems to have abandoned me recently - I can still come up with ideas, I just can't get them on paper. It's aggravating. So I'm thinking maybe if I have some sort of motivation for writing a certain thing, I'll push past this writer's block.
AND SO, meme taken from Meto (and very fitting for International Women's Day): Name a woman in one of my fandoms* and I will attempt a drabble about her.
*Fandoms being: Narnia, Doctor Who, Nikita, and Chuck
