lately i've been trying to keep myself busy. just packing everything into one day. it helps keep me occupied. hard to think about anything else except how busy busy busy you are. but lately it's been getting a little excessive. i've gotten into the bad habit of taking 2-3 hour naps from 2am to 4 or 5am and then getting up to study. then later on have a quick nap. then start my day all over again.
when i become passionate about something, it just consumes me. in less than a week i have been introduced to rock climbing, played indoor volleyball for the first time in years, and started taking salsa dancing lessons again. all that on top of school, my gym routine, work, writing and aiesec. i forego sleep, so i can fit all of these things into my life. each elicits certain qualities and skills that define me as a person. and i can't give any of them up. or give up any of them for a second time =)
salsa dancing: sexy, grace, balance, self confidence
volleyball: competitiveness, team building, agility
rock climbing: motivation, strength, persistence, focus, endurance
gym: endurance, perseverance, discipline
school: intelligence, discipline, self motivation, goal oriented
work: professionalism, communicating, independence
writing: self expression, creativity, focus, individuality
aiesec: time management, cultural understanding, goal oriented, leadership, inspirational
ok so a lot of these characteristics overlap from one to another. and there are so many i can't even list them all. it's hard to let one or the other go for now since i have been exposed to each of them in the past week. especially since i managed to balance my time between them all. the only thing that has been disrupted is my sleeping pattern. i'm facing a dilemma. what should i do? i'm way too dedicated for my own good. i am not a quitter.
wait i am! so it has been three whole days since my last cigarette and i'm still standing. mostly because my time has been utilized to the maximum capacity =) so really there is no time to smoke. it might be psychological but i feel great! i have so much support from everyone! but my main motivation is that i don't want to disappoint myself by being weak. so i'm going to hack this for as long as i can. but so far it hasn't been very difficult. and i haven't been tempted to cheat. hopefully some of my good friends will allow me to lead by example, and follow suit to fight the nicotine battle =) remember, i'm a born leader and i will make sacrifices to help others help themselves. i will be your cheerleader if you let me hehe. anyways for some reason i'm inspired! i think i'm going to give myself some recognition.
"GO MEESA! THREE WHOLE DAYS WITHOUT A CIGARETTE! YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT! GOOD JOB! THAT'S WONDERFUL! KEEP IT UP! KEEP IT UP!"
i want a french boy! i have decided that i'm moving to montreal instead of toronto hehe well maybe. there is nothing like the french and how even in the simplest way they make you feel important and loved and beautiful and like you are the only girl that exists in the world. *sighs* french boys *blushes* they are wonderful to have around when you are in need of an ego boost. maybe it's just their accents that are mesmorizing and then nothing makes sense anymore, except that you always and forever want to have a french boy. arnault, i can't wait until we are
together in paris..and then you can find me a
real friend boy =) someone just like you *giggles*
anyways, everything, well almost everything, has been falling into place lately. school is going awesome even though i was off to a rough start this year. work, i still love my job after five months. aiesec, my term is coming to an end, but i have been extremely successful as vpmd. social life, i still have time for my friends, hell i even make time for my friends in toronto which means i have time to party and yes get drunk. i have tons of hobbies to keep me busy, keep me young, and make me that much more interesting (i'm not as one dimensional as everyone thinks i am) and i'm breaking some bad habits =) but most importantly i'm happy!
strong. yay!
