Anyway.. I was saying..
I'm supposed to be doing my projs and maybe start studying for may exams which are exactly 2 weeks away but I can't seem to.. I'm doing EVERYTHING but work and studying, be it watching tv and shows, blogging, lazing, or just surfing the net. I know i should be hardworking but i can't seem to do it. I guess this is a perfect example of "the mind is willing, but the flesh is weak"! And I guess this must be the reason for my mediocre grades. I have come to accept that hard work and tenacity pays off. I didn't use to believe in it because all my life I could get by doing the minimal and still achieving what I wanted and needed to. Not anymore i guess. There's no space for laziness and procrastination in the university education system. At least for mine. Here it's a perfect situation of "reaping what you sow"! My friends and I were bored and therefore were looking at the list of dean's listers last week. And we were lamenting to what was happening to us.. It seems like people who may not have been so academically strong in the past have now all superceeded us. Blame it on our lack of discipline and tenacity..
Maybe i'm ranting so much because I'm just burnt out. I've only had 1 week breaks since july last year. It has been summer term - term 1 - one week break - internship - one week break - mod term 2 (now) - 1 week break - summer term. I really wonder how i'm gonna get through the next 2 months. Well, the only thing to look forward to is exchange in Masstricht and the tentative long-awaited trip to taiwan!! Exchange will be fun i'm sure, but there are still unknowns that frighten me. How am i gonna get through 4 months on my own without the comfort of my family and friends that i'm so dependent and reliant on?? Was looking at the prices of food at the restaurants in maastricht and i realised that they all start at about 25euros. The only affordable stuff are macs and sandwiches! I really need to start brushing up on my cooking! I think being there will make me appreciate Singapore more - where all kinds of food is easily available and at prices that i can afford! :P
