it's nandra. they also call her nashz, the history of such name is way too long to elaborate in this little space. she's seventeen. she's a she. she lives a typical metropolitan lifestyle in the capital of Indonesia. she's currently in her senior year of high school, enduring the second and last year of IB Diploma Programme that's totally ruining her life slowly. but she thinks the whole suffering would give her some sort of advantage in the (scarily) near future. she's a CISVer and lovin' every bit of it. oh, she also very much enjoys mango juice, she'd even prefer it than OJ haha. and while we're at it, yes, she might be random from time to time. she wishes you'd be quite patient about it. :)

i stumbled upon a friend's tweet today when i was procrastinating from my extended essay. it was a link to youtube and i had no idea that i was about to be inspired:

for the past hour i've been pondering over my EE. i was desperately stuck. every thought that came up to my head was "oh god, this is hopeless" or "i'm so fuckin' screwed" or "how am i ever going to get through this?!!" and the likes. oh, as for the last one, i've been asking myself that question for the past year, amidst the craziness of IB.

so yeah. i was procrastinating. and hopeless, i thought that "A" i had projected to get on EE was nothing but a distant dream. i thought that i'm just gonna screw this and not even try to achive my target.

but then i saw that above video and it struck me. how on earth could i ever have that thought? to give up. it seriously made me feel so stupid to even think to give up.

Nick Vujicic said in that video, "If I fail, I try again, and again, and again..." then he asked, "If YOU fail, are YOU going to try again?"

as if he projected that question to me, i tried to find an answer. all this time, i think i've shook my head towards that question. but this time, i think i'm gonna nod. i'm gonna try again, as screwed up as it'll turn out to be. it's better than not trying, i suppose, because if i didn't, i wouldn't know how to not fail, wouldn't i?

so, really guys, what matters is how we're gonna finish all this. right now my top priority is to pass IB, with flying colours, God willing. everyday i grunt and curse about how things are just so overwhelming and i thought of just giving up. i think i should stop that. i should just do it, and if in the course i did fail, then i suppose i'll just have to try again.

and again.

i'm no motivational speaker, but i do get inspired from time to time. i'm writing this post just to pass that on. sooo, please do play the video and ponder upon it for a little while. meanwhile, i've got my EE to complete until at least 3000 words which will be checked in... oops, 1.5 hours. :p

ciao, people.

hope i got u inspired in a way :)
