mmmm as i write this, my head is spinning
must be a bug going around, everyone seems to want to repaint the interior of their house lately, including my dad... so yes... guess who gets recruited?
well we painted a few walls, (3 coats each)... and let me say, that it looks like easy work, but its pretty tiring, even using the rollers =P
still more painting tmr ... sigh...
lets see, what have i been doin lately?
well i've found myself a tutoring job at Kumon (at JW's suggestion - thanx mates - yeah thanx to both of you =D). its not the most well-paid job in the world (actually at $9 per hour its pretty low), but its the easiest work in the world. seriously, all i do is tutor english occasionally, do lots of marking, and yeah get to deal with kids (so darn CUTE!!! =D)
so yes, i wish it paid more, but otherwise i love the job.
was interesting though. firstly, i managed to get the job without even having to show my resume or anything actually hahaha... i just walked in and took a test =D
so for all they know i could be an axe-murderer or something =P muahaha... (well, sad to say, im not - sorry guys, no skeletons in the closet here)
so what have i been doing? well, i've also been watching naruto (surprise surprise - darn, im a little hooked... hahaha now to 'convert' CM to the cause)
and been downloading music lol... listening to it alot, watching Wimbledon (the tennis tourney, not the movie =P), soccer... ahh and sleeping heaps
i've been waking up around noon the last 2 days =D i love holidays
well yeah... been a rather slow, boring week... cant wait till ppl get back from holidays and stuff =D (thats right i miss u guys already) its part of the fun...
GOd bless u all

freedom
finally finished my exams this morning...
at 11:15 this morning:
it was with an understated ''thank you students", after all exams were collected, ringing through a very cold Winthrop Hall, this morning that my trial was over...
thats right, 5 exams in a week, all gone in a rush.
the last 3 days have been extremely hard for me. thank God for granting me the energy to study more or less continuously throughout the last 3 days (i had Torts, then Criminal Law, and then Monetary Econs in a row). also, thanx to someone who supported me throughout, who encouraged me when i felt i was drowning, who cheered me up when i was feeling extremely down after my horrific Torts exam. appreciate it more than you know
ahh yeah... so how were exams?
well i think i did alright for the first two, International Finance and Introduction to Finance. but i do recall it was absolutely freezing on Monday when i sat for ITF, man... that rec centre was bloody cold ehh... i left early, was just too cold (but yes, i did finish my exam =P). but yeah it was just too cold, and that + need to go to toilet = untenable situation (i didnt even check my answers - it was that cold)... then again, i wasnt the only one feeling the chill... TL, well, she wore: 4 layers on top, 2 pants, and 2 socks (and hilariously, almost wore a hot water bottle) - and she left earlier than me (well hahaha ok, so im a guy, but it was bloody freezing). thank God i got through that one.
an unfortunate consequence of doing Law/Commerce is that the Law exams are invariably dreaded (yes, thats right, much more so than trips to the dentist/ injections, which i cringe at)... so the habit is to delay study for Commerce exams, while concentrating on Law, with an often unsatisfactory end result (we shall see in 3 weeks time) ... yeah law exams are a horror
horiffic Torts and Crim exams on Thursday and Friday, followed by a night of cramming for Monetary Economics... ahhh well that was also pretty darn hard...
forget what i said ... Multiple Choice can be a b(&ch at times... and with it being worth half the exam marks... urghhh (and i used to like it at times)
but well thank God i got through it... i dont know how, by Friday night, i was a nervous wreck... so tired of studying... (well my programme for wednesday, thursday and friday had been a steady diet of study, study, some sleep, some food, and then study, oh and study again)..
It's over now anyways =D, well until results come out =(
so what have i been doing with my new-found freedom?
hehehe Naruto, JWS was kind enough to lend me the first 70 episodes (i watched the first 11 in 2 days)... going out... relaxing, sleeping pretty well, learning how to drive etc etc...
yeah just normal things... spending time with ppl... well i guess that's really important to me...
i value time spent with people above all things...
but yeah... just chillin' =D
to those of those still with exams, all the best guys...
to the rest of u, gimme a call=P

i guess 2.5 hours before one's first exam is not the best time to blog...
but well... sometimes one just has to sit and type, and go where the moment takes you...
musings on International Finance:
not exactly the most interesting unit i've done... but well... sigh some core units have to be done...
actually under my degree all of my Commerce units are core units sigh...
musings on life:
while i don't believe in love at first sight...
i believe that a smile - can communicate much more than the longest letter written
i believe that a meaningful glance - communicates beyond mere spoken words
a raised eyebrow - a thought comprehended with a million subtleties
a pat on the back - a source of comfort....im there for you, dont worry about it
one doesn't fall in love on first sight, or on second sight, but one can be captivated by impressions, and be provoked to search beyond the initial impression... one can resemble the proverbial traveller, who turns the corner expecting nothing, and unexpectedly finds what he's been looking for, who holds it dear to his chest... to love
one look - one glance - one touch - one life
in closing - carpe diem -
... ille potens sui
laetusque deget cui licet in diem
dixisse Vixi...
Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He, who can call today his own;
He who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for i have lived today
Horace
to live... goes beyond surviving
death is easy... living is the hard part...
living a life of destiny - the hardest task of all
Amen
