It seems that the longer I'm in school, the more I become aware of how hard it is to maintain one's moral. I'd say that I am a fairly optimistic person; I see the glass of water as brimming with life consisting of microorganisms such as bacteria as opposed to just a glass that is half full or half empty. However, I think we are all afflicted by temporary periods where our moral has sunk into a stagnant pool of slime and it requires a significant amount of willpower to extricate ourselves from it.

I am currently going through one of those periods. It is only the second week of the new quarter and I already feel tired and not completely rejuvenated. I eat healthy and exercise four days of the week (the other three days are just too crammed) and typically average about 6 hours of sleep each day (much less than I would like). I enjoy the material I'm learning in school, but it is difficult to keep persisting at a task before I feel rather sluggish and feel the need to take a 10 minute nap or distract myself.

I have made schedules before in an attempt to organize what I plan to do in a day's worth of time. I find it very helpful, so maybe I should try doing that again. However, there is always the issue of not being able to do the things you wish you could because academics is priority...*sigh*

Have you guys ever experienced what I'm describing? What did you guys do to combat it? I'd love to hear what you guys have to say and try any pieces of wisdom you have to offer

Merry Christmas everyone!

I apologize for the lack of new drawings, I just haven't found the time. Since I drew so heavily during the summer, I've appropriated more of my time towards other hobbies (dance, piano, and trying to stay proactive with academics even during breaks).

I will do my best to at least upload one new deviation before school kicks in again!

Hope you all had/are having a great holiday with family and friends!

I typically don't do blog stuff too much, but right now I feel the need to get some thoughts out of my head so that I can visually see them. I'm pretty sure I think way too much and my mind is teeming with some many thoughts that I can't focus on studying.

I want to be better. This applies to all facets of my life. I'm satisfied with who I am and don't have any concerns about how I should behave or what others think of me. I do however, have my own standards that I can't seem to ever meet 100%.

Time is precious so what we can do during that time should never be taken for granted. And as I am saying this, I realize that because of a snow day today, I have done absolutely nothing; exercising and reading my textbook for an hour appear to me as only 5% of my day. What have I done with the other 95%?

Although everyone deserves to take breaks at times, I don't feel like I needed to take this day to be a break. I could've continued to self-study Japanese and Chinese which I hardly ever have time to do anymore, yet I've squandered that precious time. Disappointing...

Obviously, my self-discipline still needs improvement, but I guess we are always working to fine-tune ourselves as we learn more about who we are and our capabilities...I just wish I could learn all of it faster. I see people at school who are intensely focused on their academics and always do very well in all of their classes. I've talked to them and they say they want to be the best. It's a sacrifice, but then again college education isn't free, so why am I not working even harder than they are? I know I can do it because I have accomplished feats in the past that I am very proud of. It takes a massive amount of effort, but I haven't been able to put it into action yet, it just remains a thought in my head. I just have to stop thinking and do it.

Hi everyone!

School is quite enjoyable right now, but it is a lot of work. I am looking to do much better this year.
