If all else fail...

'Tis my first post here. You can sense the enthusiasm inside. I'm not new to the world of blogging because I have another blog in Wordpress but I'm new to the idea of blogging itself because in Wordpress, I post my poems there but since no one bothered to read, I stopped posting. And I also haven't written any poems lately. But that's beside the point.

It's a tough and insane life for a college student. Balancing life at home and school with some work-related issues on them is killing me as of now. My lifestyle has drastically changed since the start of the second semester. I've turned into a slacker somehow, lazier than usual and I hate it. I hate being unproductive. I hate the fact that I got carried away by the atmosphere. I hate it. And now, if I fail to recover... If I fail to get up... If all else fails, these are the things I'll possibly do:

1. Learn how to play the drums and be a drummer in a band.

2. Take up and focus on film making. That will spare me from all that Drama.

3. Take up BS Psychology since it really was my first choice of course.

4. Take up BS Criminology in some decent university.

So far, these are what I have in mind.

Dorm Life and Other Shenanigans: Volume 1

Yes. You read it here. Dorm life. I've always wanted to move in a dormitory and I am hoping that this will materialize this coming summer vacation for my internship.

I looked for some of my mates to join me. One has backed out and the other is still on hold. So far, I've asked two people since others live near and others are uninterested, I guess.

Why do I want to live in a dorm? I have a lot of reasons actually.
  1. I want to focus my mind on academics. 
  2. I don't want to be distracted. Who does?
  3. I can learn a lot of things in living in a dorm like budgeting and cooking. I admit I'm a newbie in cooking.
  4. When I got home, instead of doing my homework, I always end up getting drowsy and waking up too early to make them. Maybe by living in a dorm, I can still make my homework at night without getting all drowsy and stressing myself early in the morning.
  5. Living in a dorm means no more possible all-nighters for me.
  6. I could use some time off from my family and some of my friends once in a while. Not that I hate them or anything. I just want to try and see what it looks like. 
  7. If there are meetings in the university, I can simply pop my ass without waking up too early.
Does that look like a lot? I don't think so and I apologize for that.

Onto my second point.

I've been juggling my head in a lot of subjects. Thank you professors for making me notice that it is the final term of the semester. Lots of subjects have been giving a lot of homework lately so that means no more goofing around for me. But why do I keep on lazing around? I guess I need my ass to be kicked or my eyes to be opened because I'm in some major sh*t. I need to recover. 

I finally deactivated my Facebook account although it'll only be temporary as long as all the sh*tstorm has passed. I hope that temporarily deactivating my account will be a start in my recovery. By the way, for those who know me and are my friends there, you can reach me through text. Y'all know my number. 

Then, there are my two Drama subjects which by the way I don't want to spend my lifetime on because I don't want to be in the performing arts like Theater. Not my style. I'd focus on film making and writing instead. Drama has been taking over my short attention span. I hope they realize I have other subjects to work on. Damn it.

There's also my scriptwriting class. I enjoy this subject not only because of the professor but I really like writing. The problem I'm facing in this subject is the group work where we are divided into groups of three and we have to develop a film script from our concepts. I got so damn "lucky" with my groupmates. Fortunately, one is functioning well with giving ideas while the other is, I don't know, careless? Happy-go-lucky? I wish I can exchange a member from another group. There are others who are willing to help me.  

Well I guess I made my point for now but if this is not enough, I can't shove it into their minds.

That would be rude.
