Is it really worth it?

I'm writing this on a Word Document which I shall later copy onto my blog due to my promise.
My exams are halfway through. Yay!
I finished the LBD side projects. Yay!
I joined ballet class (a proper one, finally). Yay!
Now after proclaiming these mini achievements of mine, back to topic

Now I scribe. For those who don't know what that means (aka most of you), I help kids a few grades above me, who can't write due to whatever reason, write. They dictate the answer to me, and I transcribe it. My scribee is dyslexic, so I help her out.
Scribing helps boost my co-curricular grades, helps boost my applications and gives me an idea into what I could do in grades above.

Now, scribing for a person, just a grade over you, means that ALL their exams overlap with ALL your exams which means either one of us has to have different dates for exams.
Now last to last year, my exams were a day later than hers (we have a 1 day gap between each exam. During this gap,  I had my exams)
Now this is was great for me. I used to get the papers of the kids who gave their papers on the actual date, and as ours had very little change, it was essentially the same questions. Which meant practically straight A's throughout.

Last year, there was a change. Her exams were changed to fall on the alternate days. Which meant that I gave my papers on the same day as everyone else. Also I reached high school last year, which meant loads more work and a lot more exam course. Due to scribing, I wasted more than half a day ( I came home at 1:30) just writing something I didn't get. It gave me headaches and really late nights. In fact, today was a day I had to scribe, and I spent at lot of time doing nothing as she thought of answers, which is why this midschool crisis struck me.
So I want your opinion. I feel it really helps with my applications (as I've mentioned before, I'm really bad at athletics of any sort, so this really boosts up my grades and my applications) and gives me an idea into what the next grades papers could be, but then again, it really stresses me out
What do you think? Should I continue doing this?


To quote Little Mix (who's new album is surprisingly good)

What would you do? What would you say?
How does it feel to pretend it's OK?
My eyes deceive me, but it's still the same
Pretend it's OK.


In a lot of cases of things-that-aren't-really-necessary-but-I-still-do-it, I question this. Why should I get straight A's in subjects I'm not planning on pursuing? Why do I play basketball even though I hate doing it? Why do I make my bed everyday if I'm going to crumple it anyway (every teenager's question)
In other news, my dad is now sending me his selfies. Yup.

*UPDATE: I wrote this on 14th March FYI. I forgot I had written it, so apologies for the late post.

Why should you never crack chemistry jokes?
Because the good ones argon.


See you whenever.

Writing. A lot of it.

First things first. Rutvi, here, reblogged this thing called describe me like an author would and I did it for her. I quite liked it, so I'm sharing it.If you've seen Rutvi or you are Rutvi (hi!), tell me what you think.
"She was constantly happy, you could see she found little things made her happy. Her thick night black hair was firmly secured backwards and her bouncy nature dared it to fall. Her glasses perched on her nose brightened her sparkling brown eyes, deeply set in her tan skin. Her deep voice contained so much emotion, it wasn't possible for it to express more. Her fingers had pen stains, like a  writer who has been driven to the brink of madness and can’t stop writing. Her laugh bounced across walls as it hit the ear of everyone and made them smile and laugh."
I have also gone on a His Dark Materials spree.
No other book has explored such metaphysical topics so accurately, so succinctly and so...simply. Who would've thought that it could happen in a children's book? It is a beautiful book. Please read it.
Next, a poem

It looks impossible,

Too hard to break through.
Can't walk through it
Can't get through

But there is something worth saving

Worth saving on the other side
So don't you think, however hard it is
It's worth a try

Slice through, you will pass

Get through to a new world
With things you've never seen
And new ideas unfurled

With their creations, and their life

Somehow you fit in
You are different, you are "weird"
But now, you are them

At the back of your mind rests
There may be danger


What you need to do
Look through a mirror
And you shall see through

But won't you fight through
Dear, dear Mary
Atal is here for you.

Oh, the Amber Spyglass, why do you do this to me? Anyway guys, hope you liked it. I'm going on vacation now, so I shall see you early April, as a what? As a Sophomore!
What do you call a nosy pepper?
Jalapeno business! 

See you whenever

Epic Saga time!

Okay, not an epic saga, but the longest song I've ever written. It's almost full length and revolves around a reference. I can't choose between The Rhythm of my Life, Beating, or Back of my Head as a a title though.
Also the first line is sung in the same way it is sung in Of The Night by Bastille.
I really like this, so it's copyrighted too. By me. Okay?

It is the rhythm of my life
But it isn't constant
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no 
Sometimes it's crazier
Louder than ever
Sometimes it's slow
Soft and slow

Sometimes it's dark and dreary and dull and gloomy
And oh so melancholy
Sometimes it's bright and happy, all sunshine and smiley
But sometimes I feel so sorry

And there's a drum beat
In the background
It's no more than four
And when it's loud or crazy
Or soft or lazy
It's there

Beating, beating,beating
At the back of my head
Oh woah oh, oh woah oh oh oh oh
It's beating, beating, beating
At the back of my head

And it keeps me grounded
Keeps my strong
(At the back of my head)

It keeps me going
Walking and strong
(At the back of my head)

It brings me out of 
The darkness inside 
(At the back of my head)

It always asks me 
Why do you hide?
*epic Take Your Time Coming Home type guitar solo*

It is the rhythm of my life 
But no, it isn't constant
And it is the rhythm of my life
And it'll play wherever it goes.

Why has no one heard of the Mexican Mafia?
Because it's Nacho business

See you whenever.

LBD, not able to focus,viewership and sudden outbursts of I really don't want to be with you

Finals week is upon me, and what do I do?
I blog. Typical procrastinate-y me. Le sigh.
So, first topic, LBD.
LBD here refers to the Lizzie Bennet Diaries, not Little Black Dress as you might wonder. What else could it be?
Let's Be Dazzled?
Little Bony Dolphins?
Low Back Drawers?
I don't know, but anyway I finally finished the entire Lizzie Bennet Diaries and I'm sad.
Not because it has a sad ending *spoiler-it doesn't* but because now, I WANT A DARCY.
Thanks Lilly.


Yes, it is a modern day spin off on Pride and Prejudice and it is amazingly hilarious. Worth 7 hours of your life. It has a hundred 5 minute long episodes and it is wonderful.
Also, it is directed by Hank Green. WHAAAAT? (LBD reference)
My finals, as I said, are upon me (in 2 days actually) and I've just completed my syllabus.
Needless to say, I am FREAKING OUT.
I have found countless distractions and so many more things to do than study and I can't do anything about it and I hate it, because I hate feeling out of control of anything and that's exactly what's happening to me.
That was a good rant. Nobody reads these anyway.
Okay, now I'm serious. I'm not posting till the 18th and now that I have made a blog promise, it feels awkward to go back on it. So that's it. No more posts for a while. Keep re-reading though. And comment. I won't know whether you exist unless you read. Thanks Germany and the US for reading though. YAY!
Speaking of viewership, it's something that I want, but I don't.
Many of my friends know that I own a blog, however, none of them know the URL. They beg me for it, but really, I don't want to tell them. I know how much it would boost my viewership, but I want people to stumble upon this and like it, not because that girl at school, gave them the address. One of my best friends begged me for it today and it took me all my willpower to say no. This could be because of my TMI post that reveals stuff that people in my  tiny school would love to know. So, no, I don't want you to read my blog. If you stumble upon it or I tag you, great. If not... well, I don't know. Happy reading I guess.
I also have been really moody
I'm usually a happy, yet sarcastic, bubbly person. Yet lately, I sometimes don't feel like being with one of my best friends and prefer being with total strangers. Why? I don't know. No, before you jump to conclusions, I am not on, nor near, my period. Okay, suspecting jerk?
See what I mean? Moody. I swear, my friends probably think I've gone all Cady Heron on them. To quote Superwoman(yet again):
I know, how caring I've been of a friend. Much nice.
Anyway, this is my last post in a while. I must resume to cramming Biology and History at record speed now.
What's the difference between a piano, a tuna and a glue stick?
I don't know. What is it?
You can tuna a piano, but you can't piano a tuna!
What about the glue stick?
I knew you'd get STUCK on that one!
Ha ha, I know. Lameness overboard

See you whenever
