If I head to the mall now, I'm afraid that I might just splurge because of the stress level I have. To tell you honestly, I save a lot and spend a lot as well. I strongly believe that money is something that has to be exchanged for goods when the need arises or an opportunity knocks. I also believe that money solves a lot of problems. Right now you might think that I am a money-whore, but really, I am just being realistic.
This feeling is not entirely foreign for me because whenever I am depressed or stressed, I eat a lot, I play sports, I cry over random Korean Series (this deserves a separate post), and most of all, I SPEND A LOT. By a lot I don't normally mean a 5-digit total of what I spent. I'm not rich at all. Maybe when I actually have a job and it pays well, I might actually try it just for the feel and the thrill.
Me writing this is my way of preventing myself from my impending bankruptcy. I find it quite amusing that I found a way to stop my bad habit. NOT. Now I will list the things I have/want/need/really want to buy right now.
- Taupe pants
- Satchel
- Aztec-ish printed sweaters, shirts, cardigans, and socks. Yes. Socks
- More pants.
- Boots
- Loafers
- Rucksack (Althought this is not really my style, I feel like it's a must for a young man like me.)
I actually believe that possession of these things right now will make me happy. REALLY HAPPY for that matter. Over the past few weeks, I have been stressing about 2 things, wait, make that 3.
ONE: CoE 115. I failed this subject last semester so I am taking it again this semester. So instead of having 11 units, I have 15 units in total for this semester. The microcontroller we will be using is an entirely different one so we will probably need a lot of divine providence. I'm screwed.
TWO: ECE 198 aka Thesis aka Social Life Diet Pill. I have been working hard on my thesis in terms of research and stuff but I think the effort I exerted did not pay off as much as I thought I would have. I am having a hard time finding data online for...STOP. I will not spoil this entry by writing about thesis. I just hope my efforts will pay off better.
THREE: Engineering Week. This week screams fun and games, but really, it's hardwork, sleepless nights, stress, and of course, satisfaction and overflowing org spirit.
Just last week, I invited my cousins for my way overdue treat. I bought them Cocoa with Rocksalt and Cheese in the Happy Lemon branch in Eastwood since it's very near our place. This is my way of destressing a little. The mere company of my cousins never fails to lift up my spirit.
PS: The title has no meaning at all. The song just got stuck in my head for days now.
I am not getting better at this at all. Oh well, there's no harm in trying. :)
