Individual Chic: A classy meme

A classy meme

Meg from All About Appearances has tagged me with a classy meme, and I love it. The rules are “devise a list of 5-10 courses you would take to fix your life. It’s more fun to be in classes with friends, so include one class from the person who tagged you that you’d also like to take. Tag five other people.”

So, my classes would be:

How to dress well – this is a high-school level course designed to teach you how to pick inexpensive clothes that suit you yet allow you to express your feelings about yourself. Includes such subjects as “man that haircut looks bad on you, let me show you another”, “don’t let your mum buy the cheapest clothes in the shop because they’re a good deal” and “seriously Icy, don’t wear glasses chains, they don’t look cool”.
Be grateful – as per Oprah’s gratitude journal, learn to recognise the things in your life you are grateful for. Start out with the basics such as sunny days, chocolate, and getting out of bed in the morning; before moving onto more challenging subjects such as a being grateful that you were stuck on the train for an extra hour, because you got to finish that great book.
Self confidence for you – Learn who you are and why you should be happy with yourself. Analyse un-emotionally parts of yourself that you aren’t happy and why with and work towards resolving the issues. An essential for all people everywhere. You may find the course “How to dress well” helpful though not essential to completing this course.
How to talk to your mother – an essential for all young women, start out with how to make light non-emotional conversation with your mother, up to addressing true emotional issues that you feel strongly about. “Self confidence for you” is a recommended pre-requisite.
Keeping on track – this essential life course takes you through techniques for making sure you do the things that you need to do, even the ones you don’t enjoy. Particularly valuable at work.

I’m good with all of these but the last one. The fact I’m writing this post while at work should give you a good idea of how well I’m going.

And my favourite class from Meg was:

Get Up 101 – How to put down the lap top and go do something offline. Topics would include: finding motivation, clearing a spot on the table for the laptop, what to do when your legs are asleep, and dealing with computer withdrawal.

If you're reading this consider yourself tagged ^_^.

Love them, Icy!

I especially like Keeping on Track -- especially seeing how this morning I started working on gift guides for thebargainqueen.com and I haven't written one word yet. It's now the afternoon.

Your blog is a good distraction, though : )
