Procrastination station

{via here}

If only studying was half as fun as avoiding it.

We learnt today in a clinical skills tutorial about some unusual symptoms that patients suffering a heart attack may experience. One of these unusual symptoms was "An Impending Sense of Doom".

That is also a symptom of the recurrent sanity-threatening condition known as Exams.



Yes, med school exams are a mere fortnight away and the I am severely under-prepared, under-slept, and under stress.  Despite said stress I have also recently been suffering from a chronic case of motivation deficiency, which goes a long way to explain why the list of sites I heart on the right of this page is growing exponentially.  Study one hour, browse food/fashion/design blog the next.  I think it's a result of leaping from one life taxing project straight into another.

But The Exams are looming and time is running out.  And I am actually going to knuckle down and do some study.  (See if I make a proclamation online, then I've gotta stick to it)

So I am going to apologise in advance for the foreseeable upcoming delays in posting.

I am going to study and not tinker with my baking photos, look up new recipes to try, or spend hours penning puntastic posts.  No, I am not going to trawl trade me for those bargains I just know are lurking around or look on fashion blogs to oooh and aaaaah over gorgeous outfits.  Nor am I going spend hours being totally inspired by photography and design blogs. 

No, no. I am going to study dammit.

Starting. Now.

  5. Good luck with your exams. I'm a huge fan of Jessica Hische and I'm glad that her quote is making the rounds outside of typography/illustration circles. Have you ever considered design/photography as a job?
