Do you look forward to returning to work/school on Mondays or do you live for the weekend? What do you enjoy most about weekends? What do you dread most about school and/or work?


View Answers


If this question was asked around last year September to June, I would have answer 'yes' that I looked forward to Mondays because it was a non-college day and have a lie in or go out to do shopping.

Weekends are usually short. I do live for them though. What I enjoy about the weekends are sleeping late and relaxing from the stresses of college.

I dread about college the most is homework. I don't really like doing them anymore, tbh.

No, I haven't finished my homework and I know I'm going to fail my second year. It's not due to the recent death of my aunt (partly it was at first) but maybe I'm getting bored of media... As much as enjoy it, my mum still says it's a 'Mickey Mouse course' or a 'crappy course' - supportive eh? Also I was thinking my Paid Account renewal thing. It's all sorted now. So yeah.

Meme time!

Reply to this post by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

[info]notquitedead gave me five words. And like [info]clearbell, I was given 'BriWi' and 'Pink Floyd' second time round! I am not lazy by copying and pasting the reasons, instead it's all been changed due to recent purposes.

1. Brian Williams - So I have the customised mood theme which took months to make, the birthday present layout which was made by the wonderful [info]virulencia, and have a fangirl thing about him which makes me laugh sometimes and smile. His humour, talent and skill makes Brian William what he is... A very good anchorman, blogger and honest gentleman.

2. Pink Floyd - Expect no imitations. Pink Floyd are my favourite rock band. I cannot say ever because I currently in love with Queen and Led Zeppelin, but Pink Floyd were unique in their own way and their albums are like a story that flow perfectly. Although I haven't been listening to them endlessly these days I will always like their albums Animals and Wish You Were Here. They are both albums with clear concepts - a storyline and a point to make across. I will highly recommend a new Pink Floyd fan to listen to Dark Side of The Moon because that was their first album I bought which was early this year.

3. Journalism - I haven't always been good academically at school especially with maths, English and science. As the years gone by I have improved with my use of language and punctuation. Guilty as charged, my use of grammar isn't always perfect and never will be. I enjoy writing scripts, plays and stories. Journalistic writing is something that interests me. My highest point of this year was doing a magazine article for my fictional magazine. Doing a column page was something that made me proud because I'm very good with keeping up with the news and for me journalism is the right path for me to go in the future. However, I'm shy and introverted and journalists have to meet deadlines and go out to events. I'm usually not comfortable at those but I could work on breaking out of my shyness shell.

4. Homework - it's sucks, it's a time waster, there's no point of it, tbh. That comment wasn't influenced by my dad but children do work at school, home is a place for relaxation.

5. Well-rounded - Ok... Not exactly the prettiest thing to look at. Some nasty people may accuse me of being anorexic and skinny... I'm not in any way a sex symbol. That's all

I'm already behind with one piece of homework and I do not want to get an extension on it because it wouldn't happen or something. Anyway, pretty much my Halloween for celebrated around Miss B's house (more on that on another post), and doing my homework since yesterday evening...

Techinally I haven't been to bed since yesterday morning at 3am. What is wrong with me?

Plus, I'm hungry.

WikiHow, the Wikipedia of advise, is the best thing ever on the internets. I highly recommend it to you and anyone and everyone. I initially wanted to search on tips on photography until I saw this on 'Writing Nests' on the Featured Articles section.

I find it hard to write these days, but I'm good at ideas for my story or anything in general. Right now, I have a character related to the alleged killer, who has a mentally ill daughter. The problem is that this character isn't the main character, just an additional one but I do not want to confuse my readers. Not the story turning into a complicated soap opera, and I'm looking at you Eastenders and Hollyoaks.

Writing space can be a problem, or any type of space to be spectific. At college, quiet rooms are unlikely except for the library and the computer room in The Village whereas in the main building, the so-called quiet room next to the canteen can be very noisy depending on what day and time it is.

The thing is that I would like peace and quiet, but sometimes if I'm in a extremely quiet place I want to leave straight away. Fortunately in the library in Leytonstone is very quiet and I did manage to stay for a long time, maybe because people aren't moving around loudly. On the other hand, I love music and my iPod is literally my baby -- people just don't want to hear music blasting through the headphones and music helps me focus on my work but I do have a habit of changing songs frequently. Before you ask, I made several playlists but stuck on 'recently played' and 'recently added'. I love observing and I'm quite observant according to a few people. I haven't really sat down for ages to write some bits in McDonalds because I think people would like to sit down and eat their food, so I leave immediately.

Home maybe good. Mum is always telling me something, or nagging me. Dad is often out, however this week he's painting.

I'll think of something.

1. I'm so busy with college work this week; I have a presentation to do on Friday on my chosen photographer; I have to hand in my work to Zaf also on Friday, although I'm far from finishing so I might focus on that tomorrow during lunch break. I know, I don't want to slack but somehow I don't want to fall behind. And I realised that there's no script for the documentary on the illu... Forget it. Hopefully the group leader may have got that sorter? No?

2. I'm listening to Led Zeppelin all day and everyday at this rate. Mothership is a good album and a nice beginner's guide for anyone who is new to Zep. I much rather buy every single album of the band's, like I would like to do with Queen but I'm not sure... Is it worth it?

3. Next week is half term. That's good. I would like to go places around London and some photographs!

I'm just scared of needles... I was meant to have my cervical cancer jab today, but after coming in and out of the old library in the main building, I now have to get the jab done at the clinic on the 3rd November.

I'm scared of needles. I'm scared of looking at them. I know an injection is just a few seconds but I was just crying; full of anxiety, all over the place.

'Comfortably Numb' describes pain and feeling. Actually, Roger Waters (the lead singer) described his experiences through this song by being injected by tranquillzers for stomach cramps. I know I don't have cramps but at least I and probably everyone else can empathise with a situation like that.

I bought two photo books today; a Pink Floyd book which has the best photos of the band during the career, concert posters, tickets, newspaper clippings and tour programmes. And a Led Zeppelin rare photo book with the band in America and just chilling out really...

I have been thinking about a lot of things lately or recently. I was thinking of reading a hundred books in one year. It may sound possible but I think I won't be able to juggle college and reading at the same time, especially if that damn coursework is going to take over my life for another year.

I might start reading the King Of Torts again soon. Love John Grisham. And I may read Twilight... I'm no fan of the films or books, I just want to avoid turning into a Robert Pattinson fangirl overnight. BriWi is fine with me lol.
