focus, baby
It's that time of the semester when everything comes to an end very very quickly. Lecturers and tutors are busy tidying up the last bits of the syllabus, giving us a mental preparation of what to expect of the exams, and if they're kind enough, may also tell us what topics to emphasise on, though so far none of the tutors have done so...I always feel that tertiary students have it the worst during this semester. This is especially so when your company of friends include secondary and JC kids (just to show how old I really am, no offense) who have completed their final year exams and are happily preparing for the festive season. Gosh to plan christmas parties, buy christmas presents, write christmas cards, go on year-end holidays... It really is a struggle to focus on work at a time when everyone's in such a festive mood. Orchard Road lights up beautifully with elaborate decorations year after year. Albeit becoming such a commercialised holiday, it never stops me from soaking in the bustling and happy spirit that is being spread all around.
Just worked out my study schedule for the exams. Officially from 29 Oct till 30 Nov, I will have begun to transform from a social butterfly to a nice quiet hermit, sitting at my desk everyday. The only times I will probably move my butt from this seat is 1. during meal times, 2. need to use the bathroom, 3. need to sleep, 4. church, 5. the occasional run.
Lord, grant me strength in the midst of this difficult period...
