Exams

Sometimes I do like exam period and the reading weeks where I can stay home and read all day long.
Of course it'd be better if I like the topics I'm learning.
But if it's some I-don't-give-a-damn topics, usually I enjoy reading and learning something new. (or at least I try)

I'm just naturally curious. Sometimes too curious. What can I say?
This is how I think:
It is only natural that you like what you do best.
But if you do well in things/areas that you don't even like, that's the real accomplishment.



Good things about exam period:
1) Getting plenty of sleep
2) Read as much as you want, as an enjoyment
Might sound contradictory to the first point but sometimes I stay up late reading in bed, occasionally with midnight snacks

I know it's bad and I have gained a few pounds this winter.
But occasionally spoiling myself really takes the stress off me. (excuse no.1)
And women should have curves. (excuse no.2)

A few of the many things I wanna do after my exams:
(apart from having a good time with family and friends)
1) Declutter my room and wardrobe, then other parts of my home
2) Christmas shopping! Somehow I wanna write Christmas cards.
3) Cook: try out a few recipes from the Julia Child cookbook
    Bake: gingerbread cookies and macaroons
4) Paint! I haven't draw for a long long time.
Have dozens of things I wanna draw; horses, dancers, portraits, etc
5) Read: piles of books waiting & dozens of blogs to catch up on
6) Going around asking people what they wanna do before they die
7) Destroy and create things
8) Exercise: not what I wanna do, but what I should do. Like a lot of things in life.

Two posts a day, you can tell I'm not very focused on revision.
Love,
N
