A friend once told me that "procrastination is the Devil" and I totally agree with her. Ever since the start of college, I was eager to do everything thrown at me, whether it be cleaning or studies. But as the time continues on, Procrastination never fails to show it self over and over again.
See I'm a type or person you would call a "do later" guy rather than a "do now" person. I don't know why. I know I wasn't born with it but I think I developed it a long, long time ago. Every time it strikes, it prevents me to do my best in my assignments, in my quiet time, heck even in updating my blog :p. Truly procrastination is another form of temptation, a temptation of comfort and laziness which halts to do the very best in our lives.
So now, I'm trying to erase procrastination in my everyday life and believe me, it's not easy as you think. I have already develop the habit of saying "later!" every time my mom ask me to do something. Now I still do say "later!" but this time, I heave my heavy bum out of the bed and do the chores. I found it quite interesting now that I do things without being told now. Now I have more time to rest and sleep, knowing that I finished all the jobs for the day!
So I challenge every lazy and uninterested teenager out there (which is probably all the teenagers xD) to say no to procrastination!
Alright, this is the moment you've all been waiting for... the one... the only...
JEMUEL'S REVIVAL POST!What is a revival post first of all?A revival is basically an overdue update where the author of the blog would progressively rant about his life, love and some other random word that starts with the word 'L'. Anyways, a revival post usually occurs when the author has been away for three weeks and hasn't been updating for a long, long, long, long, long, long... long time.
Why is there a need for a revival post?So that the author wouldn't be accused of being an ass who doesn't care about his friends from his previous home and life. By creating a revival post, the author will proceed to tell about his/her life so far in his situation. Also it makes my blog unique and not like other blogs where the author makes it into their personal online diary or whatnot.
Why is there a need to define the term "revival post"?Because I made it up :p
3, 2, 1...
I yawn rather loudly as the dorm monitor screams out "Devotions" and subconsciously turns on the light, without even a care in the world the he just disturbed the tranquility of a bunch of crazy teenagers all packed up in a rather smelly room. I look at the clock that hangs just a stone throw away from the bed. "5 o'clock". I regretfully stand up, jump off my bed and proceed to wack my roommates head with my fist to wake them up. After washing my saliva-coated face, my day starts as a Bible student. That's if I'm not assigned to dorm cleaning for that day, haha.
To further understand my daily routine, I will explain it to all my readers as deliciously as possible.
Cleanings in FEBIAS include the following: Room Cleaning, Dorm Cleaning, and C.A.P (Character Award Program) Cleaning. Room Cleaning is simple and it usually just involves the room we live in. Basic cleaning sweeping and fixing the shoe rack is done in room cleaning. Dorm Cleaning is however, harder. Each student is assigned to a day in a week to help clean a certain part of the dorm. Sometimes it the lobby, sometimes it's the shower room. It depends how lucky you are. C.A.P Cleaning is a specialized cleaning where you go with a bunch of schoolmates to clean a certain part of the school. Luckily, I was assigned to the Library, so I don't have that much cleaning to do there. C.A.P work is required for all students as every cleaning gives you a grade for your final average every semester.
After that, should we have time, students proceed to eat breakfast and finally, school starts. I have to admit that the subjects are not that hard, ranging from very easy work to group presentations. (which I always enjoy by the way) I guess the only I can't do my best in is probably Music, thanks to the super-extensive music education I had back in Brunei (know that I'm being sarcastic -_-).
After class, all Basic Bible Course (BBC) students are required to spend two hours in the library. You can do whatever you want in the library (except of course, mingling with girls and such), do your homeworks and probably read a book or two.
Finally, we all proceed back to our dorms and eat dinner. Oh and by the way we have curfew O.O. Our curfew starts at 10.00 pm sharp, all lights closed, and all cellphones off. We wake up at 5.00 am and the whole routine repeats itself again.
To the normal and reasonable people reading this, they'd probably just shoot themselves in the head rather than going through this head-stiffing and rather boring routine over and over again. But you know what... I ACTUALLY ENJOY IT! I'm rather thin now thanks to all the cleaning and it also gave me a sense of discipline in my body every now and then. So yeah I'm actually quite grateful with all of this. Until next time!
I CONFESS:
That I'm currently head over heels with someone. Not like it's a revealing secret or anything =/
