Finally... Some Motivation

December's over and January's here. This can only mean: I've survived halfway past another winter. Do I even have to remind the whole world that I hate this season? With exams coming my way, there is nowhere to go but down. My sister and I even went to the supermarket to stock up of emergency exam period food rations. Hence, our flat now has enough food to last us through the entire month of January.

I guess even my sister has noticed changes in my behaviour lately other than my mum. She feels the same I would reckon, she is having her exams too. In fact, I think we finish on the same day, ironically. Both of us seemed so moodless these days, especially after our mother and brother left us. Some motivation is needed to lift us out of this cradle of misery. My sister came up with an idea: I could always count on her to come up with bright ideas - we have decided to travel to New York if we do well in our exams.

This is the first time since a long time ago that I found my lost feelings of excitement. It was a good plan. Finally, I found something to look forward to. Perhaps this is exactly what I need, something to clear my mind.
