3 Minute Celebrations

I dont know how many of you people have this habit, but I do for sure. And its really bad. Here it is.
I am sitting in my room thinking.. God , I need to start studying this instant or else I will be like a tomato in the exam hall..After a lot of thinking and trying to motivate myself, I settle down with my books. Suddenly, I get this good feeling. Like I have already achieved something. I think to myself, " Yes, thats it. Now Il finish two chapters in two hours.. and then Il be done with the syllabus. After dinner, I will solve many many questions and become god in the subject... yo \m/"

So I start to execute the awesome plan. I start off by marking the syllabus, take a pencil in hand.. and start reading. Initially, the concentration is very high. I understand each and every word that I read. Godspeed.
After about a paragraph is over, the good feeling I was talking about is at its maximum. " Wow, I am doing this. Wonderful.. this is awesome" I flip the pages to see that there are only a few more sections ( which, even if they are big, appear as a child`s play) for the chapter to get over. Nice.

Just about hear, I decide to celebrate. Yes.. celebrate. Funny I know, celebrating 3 minutes of silent and focused reading. And thats the end of it. The celebration lasts for about an hour, then its dinner time. And after dinner, since I have not read any theory, there is no point of solving questions... and who wants to read theory after dinner? So the laptop comes on, the next episode of friends in 720p comes on and thats the end of the day for me.. Sad. BTW, this post is being written after I have finished reading for 3 minutes in the library.. :P

I Want Everything

This post will be dealing with a problem I have identified with myself. So there are high chances that some of you might get bored of it. Such people can leave the page.

So here is the problem- I want everything. Yeah.. really. I see a friend with an awesome mp3 player, I want to buy it. I see my friends new camera, I want it. New guitar, I want it.. new speakers, I want them... In the process, I stop appreciating what I already have. In simple words, which I dint write initially itlself because then the blog post would become very short.. and I dont want that :P, is that- Im not happy with what I have.

Well, I think its just about time to change that. So from now on, I love my camera, I love the speakers I have, I love my guitar, I love my marks, I love my CG, and I am happy with it. I will not buy stuff mindlessly unless I really need to do so.

Thankyou for having patience and reading the whole post.. You may now leave the page.

CHANGE : We all need it

Yes we do. It is required to kill the monotonous routine we start falling into.
And I am in a desperate need of change.

Here is the thing. Once you have settled into a particular routine in your life, its like you have reached a stable equilibrium.. whatever you are doing in that state, you will continue doing it unless someone comes and presses the refresh button. In my current stable state, I am NOT studying at all when final exams are round the corner, I am NOT attending classes when I know there are surprise tests being taken especially this time of the year. I am sleeping for 10 hours MINIMUM... Well I dont mind the sleeping part; that is fun :P.

So yeah, I am in desparate need of change. And I am going to need it immediately. Im going to try a few things and see if they work out.. For the time being, I have tried changing the position of my laptop.. No effect till now. Il try changing my iTunes playlist, or maybe the orientation of my bed, a haircut ( BTW, a haircut from the campus barber can leave you devastated instead of motivated.. so dont want to take that risk in this sem). Maybe il try to have a can of coke and see if it works ( It generally does).But whatever it is that is going to make a difference, better happen fast....


Waiting for a change..
