My Fail Of A Study Week?

If you go back 2(?) posts, you'll see that I had a little study week last week! I also made soooo many plans for this week! Of which almost none happened! I had a feeling this would happen... of course my idea of motivation was procrastinating by writing a blog post on it! I had 3 little things I wanted to do:

1) Complete some of the work I have to do for college in the upcoming weeks

2) Take a trip down to the gym at least once so I don't go a week without, and workout at home on other days!

3) Finally organise my room so it's ready for when I have people over!


Well... looking back at them, I suppose I technically did everything I wanted to do... just in smaller amounts than were needed!


1) I did some work... I finished one lot of homework? And then put off the two assignments I now have due for next week! But.. I have started them now, so maybe this isn't too bad, because I know that I'm now on such a time limit! Here's to pure luck y'all...


2) The gym... Well I have to say that the gym honestly didn't happen!  But I did go for a walk one day.. that counts doesn't it? I also went shopping... and that involved a lot of walking, and carrying bags! I totally didn't do too bad at this one!


3) Now this one I really did try at! But you know when you don't have enough time in a day to finish something? Yeah.. that may have happened!
My room does this thing where it gets a lot worse before it gets better, so I spent a good 5/6 hours trying to completely re-do my room! It's not too bad at the moment if I'm honest... I'm quite proud of my work, even if it's not perfect just yet !


So maybe this week wasn't quite as much of a fail as I thought! Even though I didn't do everything I had planned properly... but I did have a good time, and I suppose that is one of the most important things right? 


I suppose I'd better be off now and do all that college work yeah? Alright...

Sister Bonding Time

Yesterday (Sunday), I went to a lovely lunch with most of my family! We went to a little pub in my village, and I had the nicest curry I've had in a long time (which I forgot to take pictures of...). But not to worry... I took plenty of other pictures! 

So because I have been on a study week from college and my sister had some school work to do, the two of us came home a bit early; and we of course procrastinated as much as we could! 

I decided it was about time I took my 'big girl' camera out again, and started using it! So we spent an hour or so doing makeup and taking photos in our garden! 

Here's some of the 'beautiful' images we finished the day with!!

 This is me by the way! Hi! And this is what happens when I learn how to take selfies on big cameras!

 This is my beautiful sister in her outfit for lunch! Posing for that camera!

 These are my sister's boots; I am very jealous of her for having them! (€17 in Penneys!) They are just the cutest!!

 This is them again! With her lace tights, also from Penneys! I adore the pictures these boots take! 

This is the two of us taking a big camera selfie! Ahh I love the lil thing! <3

  

This last one is my sisters attempt at taking blog pictures; she didn't do too bad! To be fair I probably wasn't the easiest subject to shoot! I also lost the glasses for these.... so had no idea what she was doing! 

Well that's all I've got to show from our lil shoot, but I hope this was kind of enjoyable, and It didn't bore too much! 

I can't wait to fill you in on the going-ons of my study week!

Doing 'More'

So at the start of 2014 I had a little "New Year, New Me" Phase and I realised some interesting things!

There's a picture I found on twitter at the start of January, which I absolutely loved, until I read the last two lines. I loved the idea of getting out and 'doing more'; being more productive! I printed it out, stuck it on my wall, and away I was!

 

But looking at it every day made me realise that I was wrong, that it wasn't as simple as just getting up in the morning and doing more! Sure, it's a lovely thought that everything can be sorted so easily, but then 'more' becomes 'too much'!

 

It's hard to know where to draw the line between doing more and simply doing the best you can! (Queue the cheese!) 

It took until recently for me to realise that you, at your best, is enough; that everything you do, once you try, is enough! There's no need to force yourself to do more than you can; no need to fall over yourself to please others; and no need to be something, or someone, that you aren't.

 

Sure, I'd love to be able to say at the end of 2014, that I've gotten out and done all these things; but lets be realistic, I won't, I can't, I don't have enough time in the day to fulfil the first nine steps of this list! BUT I'll be able to say I tried, that I went our there and I did everything I could to be my best; not to simply do more; but to do everything I was able to!

 

And at the end of 2014 I'm going to look back at this and realise that it was enough, and it will always be enough! And I hope you can to; go out there and be the best you can be, cause there isn't anyone who does you, better than you do!

 

If you take anything from this at all, be it that you should follow point 10 on this list.... that's all you need to do!
