A Story of a Demotivated Student

2:08 PM

With any study, comes demotivated moments. I have just recently gone through a very rough couple of months. There were periods when I question why the hell did I come to this windy country with very tall people who drink too much yogurt? I had so many things to do, my calendar is packed and I have a terrible tendency to run away and therefore cannot make some deadlines (sorry cute supervisor). It's a terrible habit to have, especially when my go to page is about this lady:

The actress, not the lesbian character (although Carol Aird is super fine)

I admire her, I like her, even though she doesn't know I exist and it's irrational to think about her a lot. Yet, lately, she's been bringing positive things to me. She was named UNHCR Ambassador for refugee issues and was seen visiting some camps in Syria. It has crossed my mind that it's just a marketing/branding scheme the UN has for the issue, but I'd like to believe that she really believe in the cause. The implication for me is not that I become interested in the refugee situation but more on working on something you care about.

I (want) to believe that she is professional and doing her part not only as an actress but a citizen of this world. It sounds so grand and fluffy but I believe it's true. She is committed to her work - and so should I. I'm not an actress (will never be an actress) but I'm placed here in this country by God to do something, to prepare for something bigger. I better have my priorities straight and be committed just like her. She's a stranger but if being a stranger somehow motivates me to do my part, well, that's all you need.
