23 hours to deadline
Ever felt like curling up under the covers or on the sofa and picking up a good book to read or just jot away in your diary with a bag of crisps within arms reach with a mask slapped on your face?
Well i was just lying in bed with everything above except the chips thinking of the boring new year's eve i'm going to have sitting in front of the laptop playing tic-a-tac poker with a friend through msn and a question popped into my head, "Am i just going to let 2008 end just like that!?" Sad i know...
So here i am now jotting down my thoughts of starting over my blog again. Figured that; since i havent had anything to do so far and everyone else is restarting college/school as i continue to rot before uni starts in end february.
- call it a new year's resolution
- call it a waste of time
- call it a desperate attempt to be a more responsible blogger
Heck i dont care. i'd delete it all over again if i have to. I wanna do something that wasn't too much of a waste of time during the holidays. Don't wanna get into monash going, "Shit! Why hadn't i done more???" Especially since this will probably be my last chance of freedom for the next....4 years?? >_<
Back to the point == and i'm just going to give it you straight and clear. Straying away from my convoluted ways as described by...my dear English lecturer, ms angela.
- This is a monthly blog
- I'll be publishing only at the end of every month
- Once a month every month
Resulting in a struggling writer trying to keep to the deadline at the end of every month, and i'm very sure that i'll be doing last minute work for the rest of this blog @@.How predictable ==. "Way to go, em, hell hasn't even started and you go looking for it before it comes knocking on your doorstep starting march in the form of reports and crappy uni work"
Well since it has come to the end of the year, i shall join the merriment with a little reflection over the past 12 months of 2008. I was summing up a list of things to remember and thing to forget but i presume that no one wants to hear about things which are better left alone, i decided to focus more on the happier more important events/moments.
- Starting a new year in a different environment of college
- Meeting of my college buddies
- linking pinkies with someone which lead to a roller coaster ride of events and emotions
- finding people who do not get too lost in confusion when i ask my complicated questions or voicing my 'convoluted' views
- taking on my responsibility as a student
- keeping in contact with some of the most unexpected old pals
Well i guess that's about it. Not that i can think of an entire year's worth of 'blaa...' and never said it was that very eventful either.
It's off to bed for me now, this is a new project but i still deserve some shut eye now, dont i? Besides it won't be published till much later during the day n this book can just be picked up again when i wake with a fresher mind instead of hitting dawn with my hand, blue-stained with ink, and my eyes-red and sore.

Think emily, THINK! Nope, not thinking, at all...The curse of writer's block has struck again...*thinks to herself, "maybe i should go down for breakfast/lunch just to keep my brain's supply of energy running"
10 hours to deadline
Ok back to work. While looking back at this year, although this year brought many new changes to my life, it had its fair share of shittyness *i'm a pessimist! i just can't ignore these things*; for one person, my dad and another, my grandparents. My grandma still feels a little bitter over both the events, so we try to stay away from the topic everytime. My dad? He's quit smoking and he doesn't have to leave us for work for 2 years anymore *trying to be optimistic here*. Hope things get better next year, for all of us and to everyone a happy new year =)
Until 31 days later...signing off,
EmilyC
