maKING mincemeat OF meloDRAMA


tests and exams..

who's hot idea were they anyway? and what purpose do they serve realistically? i think i may have lost / misplaced the art of studying.. which is very bad.. coz, i too need to juggle various activities - none of which i enjoy over-much.. .. .. or at all, for that matter...


average day: i roll outa bed at 7ish.. go to work... procrastinate for about 8 hours - pretending to "work".. drive home at around 5ish. eat / or / vegetate / or / *HA!* study / or read.. go to sleep, rinse and repeat.

i get tired just thinking about the futility of it all... working and *studying* leaves me freaked and frazzled..

tell me about your days.. i mean, am i the only one dying one day at a time??

These are my fears exactly. I TOO wonder what it is that people do. Wake up; work; go home; eat and shower.

(See, I am trying to find motivation for finding work, and the only 'motivation' I can think of is earning money so I can eat and have a place to sleep, you know??)

I suppose some people have fun outside of work. They socialise or do evening art classes. But is that enough to fulfill someone!

I was hoping someone else might have the answers...

I've been thinking about this so much.

Ha! I looked at the link and thought, gosh, five comments already! How typical that they're all Kirstypoos'. :)

Anyway, yes, I think about that too, sometimes. I used to sit in the pool on a Tuesday afternoon in the holidays and think that my dad works all day (and at home) so that he can pay for me to sit in the pool and do nothing.

Is that the kind of life I want? I don't know! He seems to get a kick out of raising kids and spoiling them.

But it's the cycle of life. You have to work to sustain yourself, so you might as well make it enjoyable!

And yes, what do you do, Neko? Work and study?

Oh, and another question... 'Razor's edge'. Interesting! Why did you chose that?

I know it is 'typical' because I leave comments at 3 times the normal rate. I always feel like I'm the lonely loser who is just a bit TOO into the blog thing.

kristin..
are you my long lost twin sister?? coz, IM the poor lonely loser with nothing better to do than blogn..

i work at a job i hate. and i study to become more qualified in a field i hate. it didnt start out this way. i guess, things have a way of dragging you along sometimes..

i think i need evening (martial) art classes.

duplicate comments happen when the stupid web pages take too long to load and you press enter more than once.. you can delete the extra ones - there's this trashcan icon..

mike..

mike..
fuzzy around the EDGES?? i thought you were sorta sharp. wickedly witty.. you also seem to enjoy life.. parties and such, so i figure you live on the edge..

hence.. razor's edge..

if you dont like it, i could change / delete.. i couldnt think of anything better at the time..

'''i work at a job i hate...i guess, things have a way of dragging you along sometimes..'''

This is how I feel too! I mean, noone dreams of becoming an admin assistant. I did once have dreams! Now I studied Business only to follow it through and get a boring businessy job. (Which I will be grateful if I get.)

If I had a nice stable job I would either study Geography part time or do a course in fashion design. (because I'm also quite shallow.)

Neko, I'm not married, and I'm really not someone who attaches to people very easily. I'm only twenty, you know! Third year varsity.

And yes, I did think about that... the edges thing, but I wasn't sure! I enjoy life to a certain extent, but it's not always rainbows and unicorns. It's a nice description though! Thanks. Midly ironic, too. The idea of the razor, and my emo tendencies. I like it. :)
