I signed up for what again?

Yesterday I handed out flyers at my university, advertising an information session about university exchanges.. so we weren't really selling anything.. and I happily volunteered to do this.

As soon as I was given the leaflets to handout, I realised what I was in for. We often have MANY people handing out advertisements, flyers, leaflets at uni... and I realised how annoying that I have often found it. Now I was on the other side!

As I realised this, I had a little giggle to myself. Luckily I only had to do this for an hour. Somethings I learnt..

- Having a giant smile on your face, gets people to stop, and happily accept what your handing out.

- Your attitude has impact on everything you do, and how you see the world.

- Manners... they are important! I didn't mind people saying no thanks, but to simply ignore you.. well it's kinda rude.

which leads to:

- Be nice to people! The simple use of manners or a smile can really affect a person's day.. (is it really that hard?!)

- I made people smile with my enthusiasm, it was a good feeling!

- Always try to remember what its like to be in someone else's shoes, to see another point of view. (I will always be polite to these people from now on, perhaps they simply volunteered to do a job =p )

Messed up priorities

Just a small note....

My week continued in mostly the happy way =p

But when emotions turned... it was very confusing. Damn those things can be very messy huh.

I loved that feeling though... happy simply because I was. Me all by myself.

However I have just noticed that I spent all of my uni break at work.. trying to clear my Paris debt as fast as possible, and I have made some great headway. Yet.. I did no uni work. And now I am incredibly overloaded. Honestly I will barely be sleeping in the next two weeks! Eek! How did I do this... AGAIN?! Haha
I don't seem to learn... but wheres the fun in that right?!

I simply kept procrastinating.. thinking I will do it later. Well later is now.
I think the thought of it being my last semester will get me through this though! (Yay!) because I'm getting a bit over this.

Life lesson I am continually learning: Stop procrastinating!!! Do whatever it is that needs to be done, or you want to put off now!



On a side note... I think maybe I have already been a bit tooo open with what I say on here... I know that no-one is reading and it has been amazing to unload... a small part of me is worried that someday someone I know will read this. So maybe I will just be a little bit more vague from now on.

Argh. Back to it I guess.
Have a happy week!
