Okay, so I’m having a really difficult time tracking time the last couple of days and weeks so I haven’t been able to set aside time to write *apologetic bow*
I am so excited to write this post cause I’ve been extremely excited about the topic for a few weeks now. I’ve been spending loads of time doing research on it and trying to figure out a way to tweak it to my preferences – but, I’ll leave this mystery topic to hang in the air for a little while (ooh mystery) because as Newton states for every reaction, there is an equal reaction. Bluntly speaking, there has to be a cause for my excitement.
Lately, I’ve been needing to do a lot of things, but because I feel like I have the never ending nebula of summer, I don’t get to it much later (if I’m lucky. And if I’m not, I never get to it at all). I just seem to always get distracted. I was stuck in a procrastinating funk. Like recently, I finished the first book of Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard (SUPER GOOD I WILL WRITE A REVIEW SOON) and immediately jumped to thee second book – this burned a whole 4 days out of my supposed, nonexistent mess of a schedule. Second, I’ve been buried in YouTube watercolor tutorials because I found an antique Windsor & Newton palette that used to be my grandfather’s and a set of tube water colors given to me when I was 8 or so and I’ve been dabbling with a water brush for a few months, but it got lost and I realized I needed to do some research. So I did and I realized I was doing so many things wrong so I start finding all these Paint With Me videos and practicing and it’s been going really well. Other than those two, I’ve really been into my college entrance test reviews. I don’t really know if it’s a thing in other places as well but here it’s really important to have that edge combined with a background of a good school cause the competition is tough. Imagine all the students in the country trying to get into around only 8 schools in the capital. This is because of the sad truth that the quality of some schools are simply not up to par with international standards – which is unattractive when it’s the culture here to want to work abroad.
While buried in the spectrum of YouTube tutorials, I found myself coming across the bullet journal. It’s like a planner you get to decorate yourself and stuff. You journal, but in a much more precise and straight to the point manner. I’m finally trying it out myself after about a month’s worth of research and I’m so excited cause it a) Gives me artistic freedom I cant have in normal planners, and b) Gives me a system (that works) to follow! I’m so excited I’m using it along with my planner for the rest of the year to see which system I like better. I feel like I’m finally getting myself productive and together and I cant wait for tomorrow!! (May 1) I AM SO SO SO READY TO GET OUT OF THIS FUNK AND BE FREEEE! Hopefully a BuJo is just what the doctor ordered
