When your body tells you it's time for bed but your brain won't let you

Why is it that before you go to bed, your eyes can't stay open; but when you turn the lights off, your eyes won't shut?


I occasionally like to check my horoscope. Its interesting to read.


I just read the profile for the Chinese Zodiac on horoscope.com and I must say, I do agree with a majority of the things they say. Especially the part I highlighted.

"Much-misunderstood Rooster is the tenth sign of the Chinese Zodiac. These people are complex. They appear very attractive and sure of themselves. Some are the strong, mysterious and silent types. Some are aggressively chatty. They can win you with charm or be your worst nightmare. Roosters leave little middle ground. 

Roosters approach life is expansive. They have high hopes and a strong desire for success. They are willing to put in the hours and do the work that builds success in any area.

Its funny how much I suck at studying

"Procrastination is like masturbation. At first, it may feel good. But in the end, you're only screwing yourself."

I am being swamped by this management report. I started it on Friday, and its taken so long for some significant progress. I probably should have started earlier, but you know, that's not Christine's style.

I guess the reason I've been putting it off is because I know it actually isn't that difficult, there's just quite a bit of research involved. I know that I would finish no matter what. I just have to sacrifice my beauty sleep, no biggie.
But I shouldn't have this type of attitude, it is after all worth 30% of my final mark. It would be very helpful if I got a good mark.

But being the procrastinator that I am, I find stupid and meaningless things to distract me. I drew up this sticky note for motivation, but all its done is take up more time because I am constantly checking whether I met the mark or not so I can tick it off.

I would say I'm around halfway now, but the rest should be quite easy, if I concentrate. But I'm finding it hard to. 

I actually stayed up the whole night last night, but hardly any of that time was spent doing the report. Most of the night was spent browsing online for things I would buy, catching up on the TV show 'New Girl', and formatting the word document to make it look 'pretty'. 

Four cups of coffee I had last night, I guess thats why I didn't feel like going to bed.

My breakfast this morning - A hot coffee and some fatty ass bun with tons of cream :)

I just passed like 10 minutes of time writing this post, maybe I should get back to work now. Or maybe I'll check Facebook.

Hot Autumn + MWIP2

The weather here is super moody. But I guess I should be used to it, right? NZ is also like this.

I dressed appropriately to the weather in the cold morning, but now I am walking around in the warmer temperature all covered up in a big jumper and jeans. Although I live 5 minutes away from the campus, I can't be bothered walking back to get changed.

I have two assignments that I need to finish by this weekend. One I am nearly halfway through, and the other I have not even touched. Worth 20% and 30% respectively. Man, I am lazy. I'm guessing this is how I am going to spend my entire weekend.

I knew coming to Australia would be all fun, every day.

This is a crazy thought, but I honestly don't think I deserve half the things I get. I am just a very lucky person.
