Think before you act

Think before you act

Hmmm.. this is such an important phrase. Before doing something you should always make sure that that particular something isn't going to harm the person you give it to in any way. Usually, you don't mean to cause any hard feelings but sometimes you do.

One of my younger cousins, Jack, is diabetic. He's 8yrs old and got diabetes when he was just over a year old. Anyways, Jack is an altar boy at one of the churches in Malta. Today, he was celebrating mass - being Good Friday and afterwards, the priest in charge of the Altar Boys went up to them and gave them each a little present in a box. According to my aunt, Jack was so happy with this present. He could not even bring himself to guess what it is. When he finally opened it, he found a figolla, which is a typical sweet pastry with almond filling made in Easter time. The look of disappointement on his face said everything that he was feeling.

Personally, i really think that this priest really did show an act of kindness towards his altar boys, but i really do wish that he would have kept in mind the fact that Jack can not take sweet things... just because i hate to see the disappointment he feels whenever something like that happens!

... just my thoughts...

Work work work

Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at the moment (Robert Benchley)

Oh how right this man is! Here i am, sitting in the University Library, and i have somehow found something else to do, other than what i am supposed to be doing and the main reason why i came here. Unbelievable. I shock myself at times. The amount of work i have to do at the moment is out of this world, and here i am wasting time. Sort of anyways.

Why is it, that the more work i have to do, the less i actually do it?? Does this happen to everyone? At least 4 assignments, at least 6 end of year tests in 1.5months, at least 17 subjects for my university finals which are in approx. 2 months time.... i mean, in order to avoid studying i even took a job for the upcoming easter holidays. I'll be teaching students for 2 weeks. HA HA HA. This is when you know that you have finally lost it. Getting an actual job in order to avoid the torments of the world of books and notes.

Do you ever find yourself getting absolutely restless, so much so that the only thing you feel like doing is putting the volume of your music full on so that you can spent a couple of minutes bouncing around your room?? Those few minutes usually tend to an hour for me, then a further hour watching some episode of One Tree Hill/Desperate Housewives/The OC that would have just downloaded. No way could i wait for the evening to do that. And so my day passes, and once again i promise myself that i will never do this again for a few months, and that tomorrow is another day - a day when i will throw myself into study-mode.

Sure. This has been a normal day for me for at least 2 months now, and i still haven't settled down. Someone really needs to slap me and sit me down in order for me to actually get started. (Kamsky pls pls pls help!!!)
