A few more days to exams, and then I will be free! I can almost taste the freedom despite being in this critical period of revision.
I daresay I am kind of, not giving up, but just a reluctance to study because everything is so boring. I don't mind studying or doing assignment (much) but asking me to sit through exams is really hateful. There is so much uncertainty and insecurity with exams. Why should the stakes be so high on a single component? There is so much that could go wrong.
Maybe this is my second last semester in University. Maybe I am just sick of studying and mugging. I truly enjoy myself this semester, with newly made friends from Thailand field study. This is the semester where I don't feel lonely, where I can hang out with friends, eat lunch, commiserate and do project(s) together. However, this is also the semester where the modules I picked are pretty awful. I barely feel rested after 6 weeks in Thailand when the semester started so there's a feeling of losing out on the summer holidays.
That's why I intend to make full use of the December holidays and simply relax and (finally) do the things I want. My last semester will be the beautiful finale.

Exams
Oh bother, this is hateful.
It's that time of the year again where it's time to prepare for exams.

Chronicles of May
Well, this has been an eventful month. I'm going to miss May so much when the new month comes around tomorrow.
The first and second week of May were marked with examinations and then my birthday. I visited Gardens by the Bay with my mother on the 10th to "celebrate" the summer holidays as well as to see the tulips from the Netherlands.
On the 11th, I had a post-birthday dinner at Outback Steakhouse with the family. 12th June is officially the start of the summer holidays.
The much anticipated Star Trek: Into Darkness featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as the villain opened in Singapore on 16th May. I watched it in glorious IMAX 3D at Shaw Lido with my friend on the 18th. It was an awesome experience as we were seated right in the middle of the giant screen. As a fan of his whom main reason for watching this film was because of him, I grinned/laughed at inappropriate moments. There's just this sense of pride in seeing him in his breakthrough role in a Hollywood blockbuster. For the second time, I watched it with my cousin, who is a fellow fan, on Monday, 20th May.
The following day, I went back to the university to pay the rest of the fees for the Thailand field studies, in cash, I might add. Sometimes, the university can be so rigid and inflexible.
I had a short and nice meet up with my good friend from secondary school on Wednesday. Ahh, the good, old days of secondary school where stress means doing homework and passing tests/examinations.
The final week of the month was passed in a frivolous manner. This is my idea of relaxation; of giving my brain a break from all those months of hard work. When June comes around, the countdown for the field studies starts. Of course, I simply cannot wait to get home. I will be literally counting the days till I get back to Singapore, to my comfortable life, home and bed.

Post-Examinations
It's kind of anti-climatic actually. One moment I was fretting about the last physical geography examination and 2 hours later, it was over. Summer is finally here!
The best part of the examination period is keeping the notes, not quite forever but locking that memory in one of the rooms within your "mind palace".
Year 2 is over for me. A few weeks from now, I will going for my special semester 2 field studies module. If and when I survive the 6 weeks ordeal, my life will be made slightly easier in Year 3.
6 weeks of holidays in exchange for one year of easier time is worth it, isn't it? I don't want to sound ungrateful but sometimes, I doubt my decision. Besides, I hate how the committee sounds like we should be falling over our feet in gratitude for the opportunity given. Are you kidding me? It's not as if the whole trip is truly subsidised or that we are staying in some pretty hotels.

Week 13
It's that time of the semester again where things are wrapped up and you start to have fondness for the lecturers. Week 13 is here, again. After the past few weeks of hectic rushing for projects, essays and what not, it's the calm before the storm.
Looking back, I can't believe I survive March and some parts of April. When push comes to shove, you'll be surprised at what you can accomplish. I surprise myself sometimes with the things I thought I cannot do but I did it anyway.
That's why it is said that the human mind is resilient. We adapt, we cope, we bounce back in times of adversity.
I distinctly remembered the start of the semester when I broke out in cold sweat after reading through the continuous assignments' specifications. "How on earth am I going to write another argumentative essay?!" I questioned myself. "What on earth is an annotated bibliography?" I asked myself. But looked, I finished all the assignments, am alive and well, albeit tired (I did lose a few nights of sleep).
The end of April marks the start of my final examinations and I really want to start my revision early. Less procrastination and more work, eh? Too bad I am a master procrastinator. I used to tell myself that word doesn't exist in my dictionary. Alas, that's not the case now.

Grades for Semester 2.1
This may be a little late but I figured there's no better time to write an entry like the present.
My results have improved a little since last semester which makes me really happy. At least there's no Cs and what's more, I've a A-!
I can hardly believe that for that accursed module, American Power, I actually received an A-. I must have either done very well for the final examination or the cohort standard has decreased.
For my other 3 Geography modules, I received B+, B and B-, bringing my overall CAP to 3.58. It's a slight improvement from the previous 3.50.
For semester 2.1, I sought to work harder, put in more effort in my studies by cutting down time spent on Tumblr and fanfiction. I'm glad it works out.
Thus, as a New Year resolution, in this upcoming semester 2.2, I shall put in greater effort as well. I want to maintain my grades, at least achieving Bs for all modules. I want to start reading the readings and do revision early. Is it too much to ask for?
Anyway, in the last remaining days of my holiday, I shall relax and enjoy as much as I can. Then, when the term starts, it's time to get serious.

Bad news for brainwork
Oh god, I'm going to die.
I'm left with two papers and my brain is failing me. Doubt is a powerful enemy and I'm doubting my brainwork right now. Getting another C is better than failing. I can't believe I am thinking about failing. Failing is not an option, not now, not ever.
What I need now is a mind palace of my own or better yet, a bottle of felix felicis. I am going to need all the luck I could get tomorrow and the day after.
To think I thought that this semester is going to be better. Once again, I find myself getting stuck on the edge of the cliff.
If only I could be a little more happy-go-lucky, with a devil-may-care attitude. I'm going to hyperventilate tonight.

Reading Week
Finally, it's reading week! The break where mostly everyone will be mugging/studying for the final exams.
No matter my grades, I'm glad to say that for the first time since I went into the University, I've not felt lonely. This semester has been so much better than the last two. I'm glad to have friends for the "first time".
This year is about to end and I've fallen so much behind in terms of blogging. Oh well, I'll buck up for December when I will go to Europe. Only 18 more days now!

Grades for Semester 1.2
I don't have Cs. I've just got one (for now). And it is enough to last a lifetime. That's a bad example of using Sherlock's quotes, isn't it?
The results for Semester 2 came in today and while I've always been rather calm since the end of the examinations, I must admit that I'm disappointed at getting a C for Methods in Geography. Does that mean that my final exam is really that bad? Maybe I was pulled down by the B- I got for the project.
Regardless of what, I don't want to speculate too much or get too affected by it. Cest la vie. Sometimes, you can't always get what you wanted.
For Water and the Environment, I received a B. The 60% of projects really helped a lot. For Lifespan Development, it was a B-, slightly shocking because I thought I will do better. For Southeast Asia studies, I received a B+, quite expected, seeing as I was the most confident for that exam.
That concludes one year of studies in University. Seeing the results bought a relevation for me, I realise my standards are at the level-1000 modules. Perhaps as this is my first time ever taking level-2000 modules, I did not know what to expect or overestimated my limits. I will buck up when the year 2 comes along. There shall be no more slacking off unnecessarily.

Summer Time
It's finally SUMMER!!! In this joyous occasion, I think it is a must to insert 3 exclamation marks to show my obvious elation.
The finals are said and done. It felt like eons ago since I sat for the papers on Wednesday. My mind have been blissfully blank from then. Truth be told, I cannot recall what I've studied for the exams.
In the morning, I had to deal with Methods in Geography. The definitions section was good, the memorisation paid off. Section B was tough and Section C was ho-hum. Hopefully, I will be able to do ok.
In the afternoon, I'd a paper on Lifespan Development. I'll never arrange for 2 exams in one day again. Seriously. It is enough to stress anyone to tears. Can you imagine the feelings that while the rest of the students were cheering and going home, you have to get ready for the next exam? That is pure torture. Not to mention, the stress it puts on your brains. It's like taking an adrenaline shot, twice.
Anyway, I've never been more relief for "mid-life crisis"! I think, in same dark corner of my mind, I've known that this topic will come out after a not-so-subtle hint by the lecturer. But one can never be too sure about this kind of matter. The 60 MCQs were more or less alright, I supposed. Some choices made me laugh though.
So, that concludes the summary and the first year of my miserable life in University. Time does pass so shockingly fast.
This is my first summer holiday and of course, I can do what I want and relax.

Come What May
I am not ready but the show must go on. I will face the herculean task of completing two exams tomorrow and live to tell the tale.
I can only hope I'll do it reasonably alright, just a B, and that's that. Summer holidays, here I come!

Can't Deal
What was I thinking when I thought I could handle two exams on one day, one after the other?!
I wasn't sane. I must be mad.
After last semester, you would have thought I'd wise up, but no. Oh god, no. A series of circumstances caused me to make this "stupid" choice and now I am paying the price for it.
How can I memorise both Methods and Lifespan Development at the same time?! My brain isn't built for this!
On the other hand, once Wednesday is done, I am throwing out the books, figuratively. It will be party time and I intend to slack all day, everyday at home and gorge myself on Tumblr and fanfiction. I am going to paint and read again. I'm going to watch movies and go out again. I'm going to drown myself in TV shows.
Oh, in the midst of all the grousing and angst, let's not forget my birthday is right around the corner. I'll be 21 and I guess I've to be more mature, maybe.

Conquered the World
Yesterday I conquered the world, tomorrow the solar system.
It's tomorrow! I'll find out how well I've studied the bane of my semester tomorrow. I'm not even asking for an A, just B will do. It should be easy enough right?
Sometimes, I wonder what would happen if I take a gamble. You know, not to study that hard and go for the exam. What would happen? What will my results be? Atrocious, no doubt. If I suck even when I studied my socks off, I would be a failure if I don't even try at all.
One thing I like about a morning exam is that you will get less time to do final revision. You will have less time to worry about last minute details and just "What the heck, let's do this".

40 marks, 40 percent
It's considered the last day of the study week and what have I done? I've finished one subject: Water and the Environment.
I think it's still alright, even though I could have move faster.
I seriously hate this limbo between hell and heaven. Hell being the exams, obviously. I think I rather it be a quick "death" than to let it drag on. So, c'mon already, I'm almost ready to tackle the paper. But, alas, the exam is one week from now.
40 marks. 40 percent. There's no stopping them now.

I think I'm going to die
"Molly, I think I'm going to die" - Sherlock
Yes, I think I'm going to die, whilst preparing for exams.
Exams are a big part and I dare say, the only important part of school life. Let's be honest, what do we go to school for if not to do well for exams? Unless they change the whole system (minus the exams), I will stick firmly to my belief, thank you very much.
From the beginning of your school life, it has always been preparing for all kinds of tests and exams, is it not? Even in University, there's mid-semester tests and finals to fret over. You would think that University is more than testing people over how good their memory is, but no.
It's so unfair how 2 hours can more or less determined how "good" a student you are.

Ordinary
It's the last day of the semester which means that I'm one week away from the final examinations. The bad thing being I've been procrastinating for the past 2 weeks.
Can I freak out now? Exams never fail to send me into hyperventilation despite more than a decade of so-called "experience" in it. Things change, people change.
In fact, the older one gets, the higher one climbs, the further one will fall and the higher the stakes are. In primary and secondary schools, the worst scenario a student can get is get a red mark in the report card. You still get to carry on. Honestly, I can't imagine the disgrace if you fail in University. You could be kick out, for goodness sake!
I made a sane choice to go for 4 modules this semester. It hardly matters than I am prolonging my stay in the University for half a year. Oh well, the deal has always been 3 years, and thus, 3 years it shall be. As for Honours, I don't even want to think about it now because I have no great aspirations at this junction.
In Poly, I was constantly driven by the want and need to do exceptionally well because I have to get into a University. I simply cannot imagine myself working full-time so soon. Having a degree means the world to me, not only does it looks good (for the family and I), it also means higher pay.
In terms of workload, this semester is relatively lighter than last semester. I admit that I slack through the first half of the semester. I'm feeling the guilt now.
I made the wrong choice by choosing Water and the Environment. Seriously, the maths and calculations portion is a turn-off. I can't believe the bane of my existence has come to haunt me in this form. Why in the world would I want to know how to do integration?! Oh god, I am going to die over this exam! It's only 40% which means that I should aim to pass, that's all. I simply cannot wait to get it over and done with. Good riddance to rubbish.
Sometimes, I couldn't help but to wish that I have talents in other areas. That way, I wouldn't have to put all my hopes into one basket. I wouldn't have to put so much heart and mind into academics and what rot. I'm not that artistic, musical or even athletic. I don't even like sports.
I'm ordinary. "You're ordinary" as Moriarty scoffed at Sherlock.

Less Than a Month
Thank goodness it's April. It means that in less than a month time, I will be enjoying my first "summer holiday". I can almost taste the freedom. I gave myself a week of hiatus to have fun online before the tough job of preparing for the finals. Sigh, examinations. I abhorred exams.
In a month time, I will be celebrating my 21st birthday which is not exactly a big deal in Singapore.
Well, technically, you are an adult and sure, you will be eligible to vote. But mentally, I am not and don't relish being one. There's nothing great about being an adult other than the fact that you can book a hotel and tours. I can officially go on holiday trips on my own but as if I could do so.
I do know what I want as my present though. I am going to buy more charms for my Pandora bracelet after waiting for a year.
I won't be holding the 'obligatory' birthday party because it is not my kind of thing. I will probably regret it when I am older but hey, why do something you don't feel comfortable with? It's not as if I have lots of friends I can invite anyway. It's sad but true.
For now, I just want to get the finals over and done with and get ready to welcome May (and the holidays) with open arms. I have so many plans for the holidays. It's just too bad that I won't be able to go overseas. Please, let there be a miracle.

Small Miracles
There's so much to update before the year comes to an end. Hopefully, my muse will allow me to write in this last few days.
I'd received my grades for Semester 1 and I must say, thank god for small miracles! For Social Work, I got an A-, the best grade I've received so far. The others are just B-, B and B+. It's alright though, because there's nothing wrong with being average, particularly in these trying times.
I have come to realise that I should lower my expectations in this part of my academic life and it doesn't help that University isn't really my cup of tea. Oh well, like I said, I am fine as long as I do not fall below the B- mark. That is one big no-no for me.

Brain Mush
My brains is becoming mush after the sudden switch in activities. For a couple of weeks, I was preparing exams like crazy, using lots of mind power and then, when the exams ended, it was like the button inside my head was in a switch-off mode.
Of course, I took fully advantage in "wasting" my time because when else will I get the chance?
I realised I have been neglecting my blog this year and I am not exactly satisfied with myself and the way everything is going. Sigh, maybe I am just not in the mood for anything. Maybe, I am jaded about Life in general. Seriously, even Christmas seems "off" this year. I can't really feel any excitement or the spirit I have been looking forward to. Maybe, I am getting old.
Another year is about to come to a close and like every past year, I will lament the ending and am not looking forward to another new year. Why must all the good holidays happen within a couple of months? It makes the rest of the year so drab and dull.
Of course, I took fully advantage in "wasting" my time because when else will I get the chance?
