Nothing Left Unsaid

Yours Truly

Her name is Sabrina, and she is probably one of the laziest and emotionally closed off people you will ever meet. Don't judge her for it; she's a lot smarter than you can imagine and is fiercely loyal to her true friends. A new graduate who majored in law and hoping to ~~work for legal aid~~ find a way of helping people in any way possible. She lives to achieve success, with no plans of execution. She maintains sanity, with her natural talent of repression; fitness, with weightlifting and circuits; and cheerfulness with singing and eating frequently. She is imperfect, and will always be honest about it.

Words speak

Posso farle.

"I like to think that while striving to improve, it is important to acknowledge at every stage along the way, when you have achieved something."-Steven McRae.

Positively Present

Tuesday, 22 December 2009 @ 8:07 pm

I haven't written a proper blog in ages! It's the holidays now! =]
Let's see...I woke up at 11am today...then went back to bed and woke up at 5pm hahaha. (I hope you're all using your time more productively than I am). Spent some good ol' quality time playing games on Orisinal. Yesterday was Ray-shell's 18th birthday karaoke which was uber fun :) I've missed going to karaoke! The day before, I randomly met Giles and KY on the bus going back to Chinatown and ended up joining them for some shopping and eating at Misato :D

Anyway, onto what I've wanted to blog for a while...
I'm pretty sure anyone that I know who reads this has no idea who Steven McRae is. He is a ballerino (googled this to see if it makes sense but there seems to be a debate over it-oh well) and whilst waiting for one of my singing lessons, I came across an article about him in the Royal Opera House magazine. I picked up on 2 main quotes. 'Ambition is a wonderful thing-it can drive you, it can exhaust you, but if you look at it in a positive way it can be very productive'. Pretty much speaks for itself. I would love to be a barrister-but at the same time, I see the process of getting there very long and tiring (and I'm sure any of you in a similar situation for any other tertiary sector career would agree) but often what I do forget to do is see it as a positive thing. Reading the King's College prospectus gives me such a...spur of determination. Getting into there would be such an accomplishment for me and I know I still have a chance, so I'm going to keep working hard-even though the chances may be rather low compared to other applicants =]

The other quote? '(I look at my career with different eyes). I like to think that while striving to improve, it is important to acknowledge at every stage along the way, when you have achieved something'. Does this apply to you? I know it does to me. Since the beginning of this academic year (so far) I've done more work than I have in the whole of my previous academic year. Though this isn't nearly enough, being 'better than last year' means nothing if I don't produce the results I need to get into a good university. Therefore, acknowledgement will only happen when I receive some solid results. (Meaning March...=/). Nevertheless, remember to reward or congratulate yourself when you reach one of those small milestones ^^

Christmas soon, the joys...of needing to do revision. I suppose I will be up for quite a while tonight haha. Oh, &&& I would like to attempt making Oreo Balls at some point during this holiday =] I love College Candy & College Fashion.
