Me Schedule-ing

“Oh, it seems that you know me better than I know myself,” Animal by The Answering Machine.


So this semester has been as busy as ever. I have found myself behind on my studies constantly throughout this semester, and we’re already halfway. Explains why I haven’t been able to make any videos or update my blog. But I’m not feeling too bad about that. My studies have and should always come before my hobbies. Especially when you’re sponsored by your nation to do exactly that (study), ay?


Right now it’s spring break, so I have 2 weeks to get back up to speed on everything. And maybe some rest, deserved or nay. 


Thinking about future videos, I don’t think they’ll be as elaborate as some of my recent ones. There’ll be more just-me-talking-in-front-of-the-camera-about-current-stuff-type videos, me thinks. A more Phillip De Franco approach, if you will. Having said that, I still have two videos that have been on my “to-edit” list since a long time, so they’ll be given priority. Then after that, I think it’ll be a more laid back IniAnwarHadi. More speaking exercises (the initial reason for me talking in front of the camera) than PSAs.


Regarding the blog, I think I really should be writing more often. I don’t want to forget all these things that are happening in my life in this foreign land right now, and a way for me to remind myself of all the stuff that are happening in my life in this foreign land right now is by writing it all down. I think I should make a bigger deal of that from now on. I’ll put “update blog” in the schedule that I’ll be drawing up soon to avoid me from going astray.


Living over here, we experience a new kind of freedom. No one tells us what to do. The general attitude of the lecturers over here is “I recommend that you do that mate, but if you don’t want to, then no worries mate.” Our friends lagila, they can’t force us to do anything. And they don’t. So self-discipline is of the utmost importance. In an effort to manage myself, I will draw up a schedule. I should try to be as hard on myself as I can, so that I don’t waste any time, but we’ll just have to see how I balance between work and play.


So the very next things that are in my “to-do” list are:
- edit/publish those videos.
- draw up a schedule that will include, but are not limited to:
     - updating blog (weekly)
     - reading all the weekly readings
     - 15-minute guitar-ing (daily)
     - specific times to address assignments (almost daily)
     - half an hour to read the online newspapers (daily)
- I’ve run out of things to say.


So hopefully these won’t be just omong kosong. I really want to put all these things in action. See y’all at a later day.


May peace and blessings be upon you.


Cheers!
