Lately I have been busy with school and procrastinating! Procrastination takes up most of my time causing me to be stressed out badly. One day while procrastinating on Tumblr, I came by this post which was titled ‘Finals Survival Guide’. It basically give tips like study in a quiet place while listening to easeful music and drinking a cup of tea/coffee. The MOST important tip was a website blocker! Today I had an Grammar Final, Spanish Speaking Final and History Writing Final. I get very anxious and try so hard to study but I keep getting distracted so I decided to download the website that blocks distracting websites. So helpful! I got 7 hours worth of studying done last night ^-^ I’m so thankful right now towards this website blocker right now because I had my grammar pre-test packet for over 2 months and never once tried to fill it out until last night (I know, BAD!). I was able to finish it and review it a couple more times before heading to bed. When I got my test, I remembered parts but I felt as if I were putting the answers in the wrong spots. My teacher being an angel that she is, let us use our grammar pre-test in the last 5 minutes of class!! Thank goodness I filled it out last night! I would’ve probably gotten a 50 at most but I now probably got an 80 and I’m so happy about that right now! I have 2 more finals in Language Arts and I need to pass them or else I would be on the verge of failing after my grades are put in the grade book and you know how bad that looks??! HORRIBLE. I’m happy that I care about my grades because it motivates me to put some effort at least. I can’t explain how happy I am to know that I won’t have a horrid grade on my grammar final. I’m usually quiet in class but when I found out that we could use our pre-test I screamed ‘God bless your soul!’ Hahah just because I was so happy and for some reason I’ve been saying that lately ><
Yesterday we had a sub and he happened to be the boy soccer coach ooooOOOoo (if you didn’t know, I want to join my school’s soccer team) so at the end of class I asked, “Excuse me, do you know who the girl soccer coach is?” And it happened to be one of the coaches I see everyday in gym. At the end of gym class today, I asked for soccer information and we had a little chit chat about my family’s country (Trinidad & Tobago) and then he gave me advice to start training as much as I can now especially my running since I have never been on a soccer team before. My goal wasn’t to make varsity because I know I have little experience. One day we went outside to play soccer on the field during gym class. A girl in my class is on the soccer team and she was amazing *O* like doing these awesome tricks and it was so easy for her to keep the ball with her. She seemed very advanced in soccer which made me feel good at the end of our game because I was able to get the ball from her and ended up making more goals than she did (others were playing but I would say mainly us). I’m so excited because this is my favorite sport and I always wanted to be on a team and I finally can. Conditioning starts next month woo.
A couple of weeks ago my dad sent me and my siblings money. And because I’m the youngest, I get the lowest amount of money. Makes sense (NOT!). Instead of being ungrateful and pouting around at how I can’t buy most of the things I need/want with $50, I bought myself a pair of shoes because at least I can buy one thing, right?
My favorite pair of shoes:
At the top, you can see that the sole is ripping off. Other problems that you can’t see is that they are EXTREMELY too big. I am a size 9 (Women US) so I usually get that size or a 9.5 but I really wanted these shoes and they only came in a size 10 >< I’ve had these shoes for 1.5 years but I think my feet shrunk! These shoes were always big on me but now it’s too the point they won’t even stay on my feet and they are so thin that they just slide off my feet and I can take 3 steps without noticing. I have another pair of shoes like this but they are harder and not comfortable like these. These shoes and my handmade slippers from Trinidad are my favorite pair of shoes because they are so comfortable okkkkk but now it’s too cold for my sandals and these pairs are trash :C
Anyways, I bought a pair of gray Toms because people say they are comfortable plus they are cute and look like they can last long. I bought a 9.5 and hopefully it’s not big (you’re supposed to buy a size down from your shoe size and I didn’t because not in the mood the send back and get replaced if my big foot don’t fit into a size 8) They were $44 and if I were to pick express shipping it would be +$18 or so and I’m not gonna die if my shoes don’t come the next day. Waste of money!!
Christmas is coming up soon! My mom and sister said they bought a ton of clothes and shoes for me. This is the second year I will be begging my mom to buy me some moccasins with the fur in the inside haha she thinks they are ugly so keeps refusing. She will give in eventually (hopefully)
If someone decides to buy me wedges like this, I will be so happy.
Well this was a little update on my life~ Going to Melbourne shuffle for the next hour c;
