So, 6 more days before I leave for the US. There's so much to prepare for and so much to pack that I am completely overwhelmed. I don't even have my luggage yet! This huge quarrel I just had with Mum makes everything that much worse. The thought of 26 hours of flight makes me slightly nervous. I love flying but 26 h-o-u-r-s is a freaking long time. Maybe even too long. What sort of reading material should I bring? What else should I do besides reading? I should also add that my mind has completely lost any prioritizing ability. It just darts from one worrying thought to another for the whole day.
PLANE! DON'T FORGET THE CHARGER! WHAT IF YOU CAN'T FIND THE PERSON WAITING FOR YOU AT JFK?! CONTINGENCY PLANS! WILL THE CUSTOMS CONFISCATE MY SALTED VEGETABLE? REMEMBER TESTING AND CLASS REGISTRATION! PANADOLS! HANDIPLAST! GET NON-STICK RICE COOKER! ASK ABOUT THE HONOURS PROGRAM!! GET A HAIRCUT! I WILL FREEZE MY BUTT OFF BECAUSE I HAVE NO CLOTHES! GET CLOTHES! TOO FAT! DIET FIRST! PACK YOUR CALCULATOR NOW!
Yup, something like that. All. Day. Long.

Continual efforts are a prerequisite to success.
I guess it's time. 2009 was my last teen year and I wasted it on boring procrastination. Now it's gone and I'm turning 20 in a few more months. Then 21 in a year and another few more months. If 19 was supposed to be sad goodbyes and 21 a celebration, then what is 20? The lost year? Second puberty?
Anyway, my keywords for me this year are mastery and improvement.
Mastery over my present self, in thoughts and in deeds. To control my urges and channel my efforts into something worthy and hopefully, lasting.
Improvements or rather the foundations of improvements for my future self. As is said in Romans 12:2: " Do not conform to this world any longer, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
I'm ready for my transformation now (:
A little reminder for me to stay on track.
