Discipline is the thing I don't have. That's why I haven't been regularly posting. But I do have a reason. I'm done with school and in May 20th I'll be graduating from my Master in Journalism. Besides finals, hanging out, traveling and other stuff.... I'm going through a life changing moment. I've had three, actually... four. One, I will not mention but I was 11. The second one: High School graduation. The third one: Leaving to Boston and this one: Moving to Sydney.

Anyways, the topic is discipline and that's exactly what I lack. Ever since I've been in school I've survived by pure knowledge but without any discipline to study or do homework. Still I managed to graduate as one of the top of my class. I wonder how I would've done if I was more disciplined.

I begin things and then I leave them incomplete (most of the times)- hence a need for discipline. But I don't blame things I've done that made me undisciplined (Iam incredibly disciplined when it comes to conduct... well most of the times), I blame my condition: that ADDness desire to do million things at a time, getting bored incredibly easy and with a desire to do newer things all the time. I'll try to be more in contact with my blog and people. I need to stop being obsessed with World of Warcraft, going out a lot and living my life... NOT.

Anyways, I'm undisciplined, you know it. Still I'm having a blast and that's all that matters.

By the way, check out a video of the sequel to the first short (crazy) film, Fumar es Malo, I directed along with Monica Calderon back in college. The name of the film is La venganza nunca es buena. It is low quality, blame it on the transference.
