Do my Pradas make me look smart?



my new spectacles, to give me something to look forward to when there's studying to be done.

i love the shape, i have to admit it took me a few months to finally settle on this pair. I had been searching for ages for a geeky chic style and was about to give up when i stumbled across these. they feel pretty huge, but i guess i've always had smaller frames so i'm still getting used to the feel.

'It depends how fast you read'

I got 'booked' by legal counsel to work solely for her stream of work. not the one that hired me, the other one. According to her email title that is what she is, anyway. I said 'that's fantastic', and wondered when would she first tell me off. She said I needed to get 'up and running' and called out a long running list of affidavits I needed to read by Tuesday. She said there were terms that I needed to 'get into my head'.

It was Thursday afternoon when she did that.

Maybe I'll get a pop quiz Tuesday morning.

Am trying to read as fast as I can.

Taking notes, just in case this will be examinable.

Reading Materials

New York Magazine -- NYC Guide to Restaurants, Fashion, Nightlife, Shopping, Politics, Movies

...because i like to pore over that which i cannot afford... will it make me a better person? probably not. but it will result in many quiet hours revelling in some other fabulous lifestyle that i forgot to line up for when they were being handed out because i was too busy on ebay stupidly looking for second hand hermes

(don't bother, it's impossible, save yourself the tears because there is no such thing)

How well do you handle stress?



Mostly As


You are convinced that achievement is the way to gain respect and approval. Failure is not an option, and criticism upsets you because it makes you question your self-worth. You allow little time for relaxation because keeping busy is the best way to keep self-doubt at bay. Unfortunately, your way of dealing with stress is to view it as a weakness and an obstacle to overcome, denying any symptoms, and perhaps ignoring the early warning signs of serious illness. It’s important that you slow down and acknowledge the effect that stress can have on your health – such as insomnia, fatigue, increased blood pressure, headaches and more. It’s time to look at relaxation techniques – take a yoga class or find an outlet for some of extra adrenaline you’re carrying around.

Re annoying people

do read and let me know

my thing is to do either the opposite (and tell them it's "opposite day", my least fave game in kindy but gosh it's fun now!) or to do EXACTLY what they say in the SLOWEST most IRRITATING WAY

you can't possible accuse me of being passive-aggressive...
or sarcastic (moi? NEVER! JAMAIS PAS!!! C'EST INCROYABLE!!)

ps oh yes... i do once in a while read informative articles!

she's bossy...

Today's horoscope...

Switch out of multi-tasking mode. Focus your attention where it's most needed.

Multi-tasking sounds like a dirty word now...

What's wrong with painting your toes whilst you study?
And online shopping whilst the polish dries?
And chatting with your best pal ever whilst you browse?

And looking for another horoscope?

It's always good to get a second opinion..
