Motivation is hard when it's cloudy
Oct. 12th, 2012 03:49 pmI had big plans for what I'm going to do today, with a detailed to-do-list and everything, but it's cold and the sky is grey and cloudy and suddenly I don't want to do anything except read in bed. Which would be bad. So now I'm using every excuse I have and then I have to go do stuff. I even have to go outside :(
This semester is very chaotic, which I stupidly didn't anticipate. In addition to classes I want to write my bachelor thesis, and in addition to university I want to do my driving license, go to the debate club, volunteer for the OTW, sing in the choir, take belly-dancing courses, meet friends, and have enough time to read and write and watch TV and surf on the internet. And sleep, sleep would be great.
This year almost half of the university classes I'm taking are voluntary, namely Russian and French. I want to use the opportunity to learn languages for free while I can! My university also has a tandem learning program and now I regularly meet with a girl from Russia to practice conversation. I dropped the third voluntary class, econometrics. I was looking forward to it because it's interesting and the professor is really good, but I realized that the last econometrics course I took was over one year ago and I forgot nearly everything, so it would have been an enormous workload. Pity, it would have been very interesting.
I'm still not as far as I should be with my thesis, I should start doing a lot of work on that soon. It's unfortunate that I won't be at home the next few weekends: next weekend I'm in London for a debate tournament, the week after that is a choir weekend, the weekend after that I want to spend with a friend in Salzburg. I "just" need good time management...
I found out that yesterday was Coming Out Day. I planned to write the story of how I sort-of-accidentally came out to my mum, but it takes longer than I thought because I don't like thinking about it. Not that it was bad, just very stressful.
Let's see if I manage to do everything I'd planned and not break my plan not to watch more than one anime episode a day. Maybe if I do manage everything I can afford a second one?
ETA: Things look a bit better when wearing a warm sweater and with more fresh air in the room. Still don't want to do my homework, but when do I ever.
