Flow and Productivity



Yesterday was a really good day for me. I went down to Vancouver just before noon and stayed there until four o'clock. I bought a venti Soy Caramel Macchiato and a snack to get me by. I had it all planned - I was going to stay under a tree with this marvellous book I am currently reading until life decides to pull me back. Seriously, there is nothing better than finally getting something you have been pining for in a long time. I needed the time to myself. I needed the time away from everything good and bad and just live in the now. It was not a lazy day. If anything, I think I accomplished more yesterday than any day I had had in the past weeks. I was in a state of flow. 


This was also my view. Imagine my regret had I stayed home on a beautiful Friday!

Aside from the wonderful time I spent by myself, I also finally received my final grade for Sociology *screaming inside* Super thankful. My professor replied to my inquiry regarding the rest of the assignments we still have to pick up and in his email, instead of highly recommending that I should present my research at the conference, this time he says to make sure that I do. Nothing official yet but.. it's not an opportunity I'm going to let slip by.

In related news, I am still waiting for my final grade in Psychology. The wait is making me so anxious, I could just bury my head in the ground and weep.

Thanks to this article by Marziah Karsch, I have successfully imported most entries from my Wordpress blog to blogger. Now I don't have to feel sorry for myself for being so indecisive playing around different blogging platforms and losing the entries I have made. Yayyy!

Waking up at 8am on a Friday, considering I have no school, is lame. Waking up at 8am on a Friday after 11 hours of sleep isn't. That's right, 11 wonderful hours of rest. I slept at 9pm last night. Who sleeps at 9pm?!? I do, but only when the previous night consists of 4-hours of sleep and lots of stress. Wednesday was stressful; don't let me get into the details. Let's just say that group works are not always fun, and forcing myself to stay up until morning with pop and ice cream is never a wise idea. I try not to drink pop and eat ice cream so much anymore, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Although I am not used to sleeping late anymore, old tricks still work, and this gal who spent most of her high school and freshman nights up until the wee hours of the morning can still pull off an all-nighter or two (if left with no choice, heh, I'm not as young anymore. shut up you're only 20)

But still...


So besides the long list of things I need to do, I don't know what to do. Heh. I don't feel like working on my papers yet, although I probably need to start doing so. Maybe I'll make a smoothie and watch a movie. Yeah, that sounds nice (and not just because they rhyme). And then later today, if I feel like it, I will start on my term papers. You go, self.

With lots of love (and a bit of pity),
