Despite how much i say will be my last academic year at NUS. It still bugs me to get anything lower than a B. I've finished 2 papers and the next 2 are on Monday. By the way things things are shaping up... several of my assignments have already severely bugged me. Shit.

Fark-kit-la

No wonder some people call me a bad influence... I wonder how i will approach next sem... aim to pass? aim to meet my expectations? see results first then plan... gotta hasten back to study.

+ Exams or no exams... +

This is interesting... i've somehow come back here again even though i'm supposed to be on hiatus...

anyway the exams are back and frankly, i dont feel a thing...

its such a drag. another sem, another exam.

by dec5 it'll all be over. dec3 i've got 2 papers. and the worst part is.... it's my friggin birthday! woooo! happy birthday to meee! i sooooo love the gift i prepared for myself when i applied for those modules in august.

sheesh... i realize i dont really work towards exams. they seem to be just irritating hindrances that get in the way of me doing bigger things.

cant wait to get my degree. no offense to the NUS peeps. I love u all. I love the uni life. I just know it cant last forever and i need to be thinking of the next stage.

I've got a pretty good idea of what i'd like to do for a living, but before that, I wanna try my hand at short films. Maybe get a couple of competitions under my belt.
