An Exciting Thing

You know what's really really really really really exciting?

I got my cinema ticket for

Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens

THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING THING EVERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

okay, I'm calm. totally calm. and totally able to use punctuation and letter cases in whichever way I wish to achieve my desired effect.

But Star Wars 7, guys! I've been waiting for...well, ever since Disney bought Star Wars really. I remember hearing that news and being like WHAT?!"£$%^&* and then no way are they making a movie, this is going to be rubbish and then after that I was curious but certainly not emotionally invested.

And then the trailers.

I know I didn't want to acknowledge it for a long time, but the first trailers really began to get my hopes up. The fact is, I love Star Wars. There is no escaping it. And the thing that all my hopes were (and are) riding on is that the people making it this time round LOVE IT TOO and if they can't turn this into a good film then I don't know who can. Guys, this is going to be so awesome.

This is where I feel I should include a link to all the trailers or something. Time to figure out if I can use technology.

 

 

I have a feeling there are a more than that (and also I haven't quite figured out whether I can watch these exact videos before I post so if they're the wrong ones then I'm sorry!) but really just go and see the whole thing at the cinema. It's not long to wait now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

(okay I am also excited that I have an actual keyboard now and I can do thisssssssssssssssssssss without tapping a letter on a screen like a zillion times)

 

Since putting in videos is easier than I expected, here, have another :)

 



 



And just as a final note, I guess posts here are going to be extremely unpredictable. Real life is getting very real at the moment. Also I started writing this post over a week ago and then forgot about it because I didn't have a working keyboard and couldn't be bothered trying to type on a screen and I'm sure I had several more deep and meaningful things to say on this subject but I've completely forgotten them so this is all you're getting.

Ta ta for now!

 This being my first blog post, I thought it should be about something important and meaningful. But this being my first blog post, I also have no idea how this works. So please bear with my incompetence.

I think I'd better start with something I know a lot about; something very useful to life in general, and something everyone does even if they deny it - unless they're superhuman like my mother of course.

Procrastination.

The most fundamental instinct of people like me. To put off doing stuff you don't want to do. To ignore problems until they go away...or in the occasional unfortunate scenario, until they turn around, slap you in the face, and make your life a misery until you sort them out. But procrastination is also about enjoying life a little, even when you have a ton of work to do...

People who know me will know that when I get bogged down I tend to lose all productivity and shut out all my friends, spending my spare time mindlessly scrolling through Pinterest and Facebook. I don't even like Facebook! The other thing I do is go on YouTube and watch my favourite videos again and again and again and again and again... yep. Not good. I'm sure other people have similar habits.

So instead I have a few go-to activities which, while being a distraction from what I'm meant to be doing, also keep my brain awake - which is especially important during exam period. I suppose I'll end up blogging about most of them at some point. This blog could almost be named "101 methods of procrastination". So here you are, just a few:
- Learning how to do a Rubik's cube
- Playing music (for me it's Disney songs at the piano for hours on end)
- Writing short stories
- Making Flexagons (you'll find out what they are soon enough)
- Writing songs
- Any type of artwork, as long as it isn't mindless doodling
- Reading a difficult book. Either factual (booooring) or Lord of the Rings - epic length with a ton of description and sentences that take up half a page each.
- Knitting/crocheting something difficult - especially if you invent the pattern.

I haven't been doing so well lately. But perhaps this blog will help motivate me a little. After all, my problem at the moment is lots of hard maths so blogging about it might help me get my head around it - and teach some random people on the internet something about second order differential equations? Well, maybe I won't write too much about that.

I'd better end now before I start rambling. Unfortunately, hard maths awaits downstairs and I don't want to go and do it. Perhaps I should go and play through the other half of Les Miserables on the piano...

Please ask questions and follow and stuff. It would be nice to have somebody actually read this.

May the force be with you!
