Hey kids, I know for most of us, school as been mostly torturous, awful hell. Luckily, arts students like myself, usually get a bit of a break around December finals (I only have two exams, some friends have even fewer). I mean, a few weeks ago I was this crying, over worked, under-slept shadow of the vibrant youth I was in the summer, but it seems like a fair trade as those science nerds whip out there sweat pants and zoloft while I get a head start on my Christmas baking. I think most people have pretty set study habits (I like to cozy up in Fletcher with my laptop, some disney/60s French/Classical music with a grande non fat white mocha americano misto), and I know for a lot of us that includes wasting a lot of time on the internet. So, I present to you, my new favourite waste of time, Jedward. These two 17 year old twins from Dublin were competitors on the X Factor, which is a UK singing competition created by Simon Cowell, with many more bells & whistles than Idol. The talent seems to be less, but it's so much more fun. Fiercest bitch on earth Cheryl Cole is a judge, so, yeah. These two idiots made quite a splash in the UK this year, because they are AMAZING. Unfortunately, they're out of the competition. Let us mourn. Here they are doing Queen Britney:
And here they are doing one of my personal all time favourite songs:
Basically, this summer we were ooooot & aboooot. Now that we're slaves to the computer doing the daily grind that is University, we will have motivation to blog (procrastinating from studying)
. My study habits are super weird. Blogging is a very prominent one, but that's not the only one.
For one thing, you all need to get Toadys. It is a widget that compliments you how ever often you set it to. So far today it has told me that I should be president, that it agrees with me and that it were human it would marry me. This kind of positive reinforcement really motivates me to keep going.
Also, I have a bunch of weird studying mixes. The one I've been turning to most recently is my Disney one. I use Hercules to get me pumped for Plato!
