Total word count: 23,723Ugh, I'm a terrible blogger. But there are so many things distracting me these days I can barely find the time to eat food. Yes, I still cough. Yes, I still spend way too much time on Tumblr, or DMMB, or IM'ing with people from New York or Australia or some other ridiculously far away place.
And now my mate has even gotten me into NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month. "The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30. "Writing begins November 1. To be added to the official list of winners, you must reach the 50,000-word mark by November 30 at midnight. Once your novel has been verified by our web-based team of robotic word counters, the partying begins." I had an insomnia-induced writing kick a few nights ago and wrote 12k words in a night. Total word count suddenly reached over 23k. No, I won't tell you what I'm writing about. Most likely no one will ever read it but me. But these days it's my escape, it's cathartic, it's things I need to get out of my head and out of my system. Might seem utterly pointless, but it isn't.
School have been suffering a bit lately due to me being sick, sleeping badly, my energy levels being non-detectable, the level of confusion rising and my motivation taking a down-turn. I am, however, desperately trying to give myself a kick up the backside. In an effort to make anatomy and physiology a bit more understandable, I've taken up my sisters advice and ordered coloring books on Amazon. Might sound childish and utterly useless, but - drawing and coloring makes you use additional parts of your brain while you study, supposedly making it easier to remember. So far in the lectures we've had to draw simplified drawings to explain physiological processes just as much as we've had to take normal notes. At this point, considering the utterly useless book we have in this subject, and the fact that the exam is 2 months away - I need all the help I can get.My most recent obsession is The Big Bang Theory, by the way. I've watched all the episodes up until now in like.. a week. I love Sheldon. Bazinga.
