So...

Greetings, creepy blog readers! I've just come up to the surface of the ocean of lectures and labs and diagrams and equations that I am trying not to drown in to say hi and acknowledge how badly I have failed my November blog challenge. November was not a good month to choose to tackle a daily blog challenge... No biggie. I'm done my exams mid-December, so I'll pick up from where I left off there (and hopefully I won't be too distracted by the holiday season to forget!).

I also mentioned that I would keep up with my "regular" blog posts... and I have also failed that too. But consider this one, as I am obviously not writing in response to a challenge prompt.

SO, here's what I've been up to for the past little while!

1. Studying.
2. Interpreting terrible lecture slides and diagrams.
3. Studying more.
4. Occasional singing breaks (i.e. playing around with Acapella).
5. Swearing as much as a sailor at stupid lectures.
6. Complaining to friends.
7. Spending time with friends.
8. Sleeping.

It's been rough. And it's gonna be this way for the next couple of weeks - we have exams scheduled approximately every other day. I mean, I knew what I was getting myself into. I just didn't expect to be so unprepared.

New year's resolution: follow a study schedule so you don't have to cram over 1000 slides of info over two and a half weeks. 

Sigh. Anyhow, time to return to the depths. 

P.S. It isn't Monday, but here are a few tunes I've been digging lately and have been on repeat (individually, or as part of a playlist) while I study.

The Feeling - Justin Bieber ft. Halsey

Weird video. Other than that, the Biebs has thrown out some good tunes lately. I like Halsey's parts in this (the echoes and harmonies) and the chorus just tears me apart and gets me very, very emotional.

What a Feeling - One Direction

Excuse the fan video. There's something about this song that's similar to Fireproof, and I can't put my finger on it, but that was the first thing I thought of after listening to the first five seconds of it. And then it was on repeat for the rest of the night week.

High Enough To Carry You Over - CHVRCHES

I actually first listened to this song yesterday when I decided to listen to the entire album last night. It kinda caught me by surprise because when the vocals started, I thought the album had finished and gone on to the next song in queue! Martin did a good job with this. It's catchy and the kind of electro-pop that I like to seat-groove to while studying.

Reforget - Lauv

A friend and I had been exchanging music suggestions one night, and the next evening, this one popped up in my Facebook messages as a Youtube video embedded in a website which would replay the video forever. I repeated it seven or eight times before I had to go to sleep; and then added to my Spotify playlist and repeated it more there (does anyone else listen to just one song on repeat for hours or is it just me?) Anyway. It's a sad, pretty song.

Alright. If you don't hear from me in three weeks, the exams got me.
