The spectrum's A to Z!

Oh boy, here we go. Midterms are approaching fast. In fact, I have one in a few days. Calculus. I'm not all that worried, since I've done everything before. I'm worrying a bit about the limits, since I've never gone into that much detail about limits before. But that's about it. I'm scared that I'm being cocky. I'm studying anyway... Except for now. Break time, yes?

I'm finally starting to get used to everything in uni. But the thing is, there's always a twist here and there. It's never the same thing. Best part is, I get to choose my twists and turns. I like. Unfortunately this doesn't really help get rid of my procrastination, but I have to admit I'm getting a bit better.
On the other hand, I'm meeting more and more people, and I get to pick who I want to hang out more or not. It's not that I was limited to that before, but it really is different. It's great. I gotta admit, though, I don't really see much of my old friends. As an effort to extend my group of friends, I'm gonna go attend Halloween pub next week. Great way to celebrate end of midterms. Even though I can't drink.

I just have to get through this week. Err, Monday. Chem midterm there. Lame, I know. But I found that the only way to get through it is to START. The most painful step, but the most useful one. Especially for me, I can't put something down until I'm satisfied with it. It also help to have a little inspiration on the side.

Random thoughts have led me to something else. People don't really need all those sayings and quotes; they're all obvious. People just need to think. I don't think we need a million ways for others to tell us what selfishness, greed, or laziness will do. Think, people, think. And START.

I just noticed, I seem to blog everytime I'm busy. When I'm not, I'm off doing something else. Weird.

Chilly

This morning I woke up with a jolt. Vibrations were sent up my spine. I slept on my cellphone. I quickly understood what had probably gone on last night. Ah well. To business.
My phone said, obnoxiously, JEAN GUTIERREZ.
I remember thinking, "Why the hell is she calling me on a school day? This sucks, my alarm's going to go off soon, too. Lost a few minutes of sleep..."
This is what I remember, and what Jean told me I said at work:

"Hello?"
"Glenn! Jen told me to call you."
"What? Why?!"
"You're scheduled today! 7-3."
"Uhhhhhhhhh... OH OKAY thanks... bye."

Let "OH OKAY" represent the point of realisation, and the ellipses moments of fast brain processing. Well, relatively fast for a cold morning. I completely thought it was Friday. I don't know why. I slept in for work again... Oh well, I haven't done that in a while.

I just thought this was weird... I mean, I knew the night before that today was Saturday and that I would need to get up for work. I even told myself to set my alarm accordingly (which, I obviously failed to do). Maybe 'cause I didn't want Friday to end. Weather unpermitting, I ended up staying home. On a Friday. Stuff was left undone for this week. That means I have to do a lot this weekend. 2 labs, 2 assignments, 3 DESIGN assignments too, oh my.

Plus, this week, I absolutely have to watch Toy Story 3D with MJ. I've been giddy since I heard about it!

Being busy gives me a sense of purpose...

Plans, plans, plans.

Always make me budget my money just a bit more. That's good right? If only it didn't involve spending money to execute said plans... But everything is definitely going to be worth it.

The only way to take away the stress from tasks is to enjoy it. And to dedicate it to someone.

I have terrible luck, though. Plans never go the way I imagine the to go. I think that makes me think a lot harder the next time I plan for it. Don't get me wrong, sometimes winging it is as much fun as it sounds.
