30 Days of Change: Defeating Nocturnailty

30 days is just a small start.

30 days to change my ways of thinking. 

30 days to change my activeness/inactiveness. 

30 days to explore my own backyard.

30 days to read more.

30 days to cook more.

30 days of eating better.

30 days of straight up commitment. 

30 days of re-educating myself.

30 days of reinventing the new me.

How can one do that in 30 days you ask? One can't, but it's a nice start to something that seems a little daunting at times when turned into a year's worth of resolutions.

For starters, my sleeping habits in the last 3 weeks has looked like this:
Week 1 {This means 7 days straight I was stuck like this.}
1. wake up at 2pm or 3pm because I couldn't get to sleep until 5am, 6am, or 7am some days.
2. be less than productive by sitting on the couch all day wishing I could just force myself out of the weird depressive state I'm in
3. pin on pinterest/youtube for hours while watching tv. 
4. make food. probably pasta of some sort. sit back on couch get on computer.
5. look at that, every tv show has come and gone, and here it is 3am, and I'm still on the computer, oh I'll go to bed at 4. 4:30 comes, and I move my time to 5. 5 turns into 6am, and I finally relinquish my rights as a droid and go to bed at 6:30am, but not before playing 8 levels of bejeweled on my phone.

So now, as I write this in embarrassing admittance, I am forcing myself to stay up until later on tonight because I want to be so exhausted that I'll have to go to bed at 7pm. And with that, I will retrain my body to sleep, and get up at a more reasonable time because I hate sleeping the day away.

Defeating Nocturnality in 30 Days

Follow tomorrow to see how my experiment worked and if I zonked out earlier than 7pm.

Cheers

Lost in Laundromat Translation

Tips on using an Italian laundry service. Story all true, formed last Saturday as a series of unfortunate events. Step 1: When using an Italian laundromat make a fool of yourself first by playing it cool when others are standing around waiting on their own personal belongings. Step 2: Get set up in a corner as if you're prepping for a long day of laundering. (laundry-not money, let's be clear!) Step 3: Wait for said people and any extra onlookers to slowly exit and be financially prepared for any extra money to be spent. Step 4: Fake read Italian signs all over the room, completely bypassing the signs above the washers that are in fact ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS. So when you see a sign that says "Istruzioni per il lavaggio" ,you will understand it reads "washing instructions". You will also see the UK flag representing a "universal" English speaking dialect. But wait! It gets better! Step 5: Walk to the blinking lotto slot to choose your d...

Special Treat // Friday Covers

Image
Along with the compositions of pictures that I think I was posting on Friday's, I want to try to upload some of the best covers I have found. So that's also mainly for me to put up more music because I love music. This cover is Jessie J singing Rhianna's "We Found Love". Might I add, it's a lot better than the original. Don't hate. Just listen. Now go find you some love and live on.

When Rain Comes...

Just something I began writing from when I was still in Italy. It's already been a full month since I've been back and I'm happy more than ever that I documented what I saw from my window, I won't get to see it for some time. Or perhaps ever. I'm almost beginning to wonder if there is something in the rain because the Italians have a way of scurrying about the streets like God is going to make it flood again and if they don't hurry they will miss the Ark. Well it's not like that, but it's the closest thing to a visual I can give you. Across from my bedroom view there is an old man that looks out of his window on the 5th floor everyday. Always consoling his hands with his head, looking like he doesn't know what to look for beneath his window; but he stares for a good 5 minutes looking at passers-by. A woman who occupies the same flat is often hanging tons of laundry, of which most of the contents hanging up do not resemble any article of clothing...
