what's not happening?

study.

This week, my mum and I devised a reward/bribe to get me to study. For every three hours I study, she pays me five dollars directly into a "shopping spree fund". Now you might ask, why can't she just give it to you as generic money (but you probably won't, but I'm going to tell you anyway)?

It's because I love shopping,but I also have a heavy conscious driving me to put almost all my money straight into my bank account. So all the money I earn from work and from general chores goes straight there and gets saved up for when I need it for things like travel and gifts (I spent way too much last Christmas). So if she wereto just give me five dollars, I'd put it in my piggybank and it possibly would end up going to buying her a perfume or gold class movie tickets on her birthday. So to REALLY motivate me to study - I have to be able to study knowing that every hour I study goes specifically to a new wardrobe.

Okay, okay. My point is that I followed this for a good four days but I've tapered off. I got lazy and distracted. I mean honestly, even my making this blog is a pure form of procrastination. The main things I've been doing in lieu of study?

  • Planningschoolies. I swear organisation is lik a disease, it infected me on thursday and Mark and I have been spending hours corresponding with attendees and house owners, scouring holiday websites, calculating costs. I even made a folder. I even made a custom cover that has nothing to do with its content out of spare materialz. Want to see my folder?
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I'm attractive.
  • Watching Sherlock and The Simpsons. Sherlock because it's amazing and The Simpsons because I don't have to think to watch it (yin and yang?). Speaking of which I really want to watch some new Sherlock. LOL NVM EIGHTEEN MONTH WAIT. Also, people tell me "There's only three episodes because they're long." Here's a calculation:
Sherlock time - 90mins
House MD Episode time - 40mins
Number of House episodes that can fit into a Sherlock episode - 2.25
Number of House episodes per seasons - Ususally 22
Number of Sherlock Episodes there would be id it was directly proportional - 5.17..
Okay, that's the first time I actually did that and it's not as dramatic as I wished it would be. People also tell me it's because they need to come up with ideas. Bollocks, they already have books written, they barely even have to characterise, only appropriate. By the way, don't take this as ingratitude towards the directors, because they're all wonderful, sexy people. I'm jsut suffering a touch of withdrawal. A tad.

  • Playing with babies! In this week alone I've come int contact with three of my (now) favourite <3's (under three's, i didn't see what it would like like until I wrote it)! I think my baby playing-with time is at seven hours this week. woah.
aaaaaanywhoooo.. I better hit the books. What shall I study to? You know what you should NEVER study to? This:
