Work/study balance


How does one combine these two¿ I believe that it all comes down to being good at time management. Yo need to be able to prioritize and do the most important tasks first. Divide and conquer. First, you have to be able to tell if on a certain week the tasks during your studies will need more if your time or not. Juggling resposibilities is never easy but if you know beforehand of upcoming event or exam, you can prepare in advance. 

What's vital is that you don't jeopardize your studies by handing in important assignments late. You have to keep yourself from being stressed-out, give yourself some "you time" indulge yourself or "treat yourself" as characters from Parks and Recreation used to say. If you miss out ona night out with friends, reschedule it but do not cancel alltogether. To keep yourself motivated you need to set small, achievable goals every week. 

It's sn exciting challenge but one that requires you to be extra engaged in everything you do.

10 Cloverfield Lane or how the trailer to the sequel of J.J. Abrams 2008 movie just went viral..

According to the synopsis:


After a car accident, a young woman awakens in an underground cellar, where most of the action takes place. She fears she has been abducted by a survivalist, who tells her he saved her life and that a chemical attack has left the outside world uninhabitable. Uncertain what to believe, she decides she must escape, whatever dangers she may face outside.

Among the cast we can see John Goodman and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
What is uncommon is that the whole existence of the sequel comes as a surprise. Sure, Cloverfield was something more than just another Blairwitchy-type film but this one doesn't look as if is closely related to it. From what we can in the trailer, it looks both disturbing and kind of eye-catching.

The cutest videos found on internet lately




Who doesn't like to take a break and look at some quite videos or photos? We all need it sometimes. According to the newest research, (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/01/looking-at-cute-animal-pictures-at-work-can-make-you-more-productive_n_1930135.html), it actually makes us more productive if we do it at work. Apparently nurturing instincts make us more attentive and if we pay more attention to the details in the office, it is rather clear that our effectiveness grows as well.

And this year the Oscar goes to...

maybe Leonardo DiCaprio? He sure deserves it:) As for the other nominations, I guess it doesn't look that impressive to me this year.
Of course, Mad Max: Fury Road was something else in terms of set preparations etc. but the best film, best director and many other nominations.. Really? You can only watch a car chase for so long before it gets boring and it really gets boring.

As for the ones that weren't nominated from the films I've watched- why no Benicio del Toro for his role in Sicario? And by the way, where is the rest of nominations for this film? Well, at least the makers got the ones for cinematography, sound editing and the original score.
