stress comes in the form of a white folder divided into five subjects and a crinkly packet of hundred a4 ruled pages. also, switching pens between assignments isnt fun.

down with the traditions.
let's be honest. sometimes i spend a solid half an hour looking for a quote that fits the post but i can't keep doing that and my resolve has been worn down now; partially because it's 4:30am but mostly because i can't have goodreads making up 30% of my search history.
speaking about history, i have a history project worth 40% of my grade due in two months and i'm pretty sure starting it at dawn wasn't a good idea but the one tradition i'm not willing to break is my horrible study routine. i've been reading the same three pages over and over and the sentences merge into one sometimes and guess what! i need to re-read the paragraph again!
why am i not going to sleep?
good question.
i woke up at four pm today. i fell back asleep at seven and woke up again at nine pm. therefore in the last twenty four hours, i've been asleep for eleven. no point in trying to sleep now.
so in a surge of productivity. i cracked open my history reader. got my highlighters out, put my phone away and to go the extra mile, i opened up a new tab just so i could look up the topics i wanted to elaborate on in my report.
and then i opened the reader.
it's almost as if my brain isn't massively confused as to where it is due to my ever-changing sleep schedule! gotta keep it on its toes.
calling back to going down with traditions, i told myself before starting the new school year i would stay on top of all my work during the summer break, even if that meant having to stay in a few more days than usual, because isolation is a small price to pay for the reward of no stress.
normally, i rush finishing my summer assignments in the last week of the break. i wasn't gonna do that this time. perhaps my favorite thing about my new school is the extra month of summer vacation i get. but suffice it to say, while i have done pretty well, i haven't kept up with my schedule which demotivates me a little bit.
this blogpost was pure procrastination. time to twirl my highlighters around.
