Mid-Morning Rambles

Here are some things I did yesterday: I got myself up to date on all the particulars surrounding William and Kate's wedding on the 29th of April (I'm not ashamed to say it fascinates me, okay well fine a little bit). I started following Nina Perez on Twitter (you should too) and bought her book Rebirth off Kindle... then I proceeded to read the book. It was only around 5 dollars and it was worth every penny, I absolutely loved it. Couldn't put it down!
I also had an amazing Skype Call with a friend, to the tune of about an hour.
What did I not do?
Study.
This is why at 5:12 in the morning, I am not in my comfy bed but am rather sitting in the common room trying to get my focus on. Of course the fact that I am currently updating this blog shows that I'm not quite focused yet.
I've been thinking quite often about which of my three series I am going to devote all my time to this summer. I am in love with Arabesque but I have a feeling that 'Edge of Darkness' series probably deserves a bit of attention. I'm wondering if I could somehow work on both and put off 'Backtrack' for a later date.
Ah well, I have three weeks to sort this out and well, not FIVE days until my Discrimination in Employment exam.
I've completely got to jet now!

Tschüss!

I'm going to make it happen.

I've wanted to be a write for as long as I can remember. My happiest moments are spent creating characters and worlds and scenarios but I've always been way too shy and scared to really try to become 'a writer'. I mean, I dreamed - at night, during the daytime, during Spelling Class when I was seven and during Family Law last year. Dreaming is great, but it gets you nowhere. It will not complete the novels nor will it send manuscripts out to publishers. It definitely doesn't get my work out to more than a close circle of friends. It is 6:46 in the morning and I am about to delve into cases concerning HIV Discrimination and five minutes ago it hit me: I am going to make it happen. I am going to quit dreaming and I am going to work for it.
You may wonder what's the correlation between HIV discrimination and achieving my life long dream (not that I've been alive that long, 21 years is hardly an eternity :D ) a reality.
Simple.
My first exam (conveniently on the morn of my 21st year of existence on Planet Earth *cue subtle science-fiction theme music*) is six days away. It is Discrimination in Employment Law (definitely not the most interesting law course on the roster) and I want to pass it (duh!) furthermore, my Grade Goal Sheet has this course tagged for an A. In an attempt to secure my A, I'm not dreaming about getting one. I'm not going to bed at night thinking 'shucks, won't it be great if I got an A in this course' without putting in one iota of effort. Nope. Frankly, if I tried to do that, I'd be the first to say 'Errm...honey child, you head needs to be checked.". What I'm doing in the methodically going through the syllabus and studying. I'm reading articles, cases and am writing practice question. I think it is now time that I put the same amount of effort into my real dream as I put into my backup.
So yea... I am going to make it happen!! :).
Might be hard, tough, I might be demoralized along the way. But, I'm going to make it happen.
