Time and tide waits for no man...

Dear diary (or Future Me),

This weekend has gone by in a blur. Been busy playing catch up for HP1100 midterm, and juggling tuitions and the usual snip snaps that go pheeeeew past. One midterm (and 2 HW) down and 3 more to go after recess.

Somehow this isn't what I imagined my last semester to be like.

On one hand, I'm not suffocating yet (despite the infinite verbalized or the self bitching complains to the contrary). I still found time to read. Lol. The only constant in my life. A little romance solves all, ends all.

I'm not fulfilled.

After going for the morning Public Service career fair, I've been having some doubts. First thing I quickly established was that it doesn't matter what degree you have. A degree don't have that extra value that I thought had pegged uniquely to it, other than just being a degree. What a long route down this road of education where at the end of the day, one thing led to another and finally it doesn't matter..? I've to admit it's sorta freeing at the same time. And wary. Is the world really up for grabs? Is it that easy? The whole 'the world is in your hands'. Looking forward to the networking session in a little bit. Just curious to see how much the session can sway my thoughts.

On the other hand, I feel like (my mental) age is catching up on me. Feeling damn shagged now when I slept at 1ish last night at woke up at 6ish earlier. What happened to the good ol' days?! I'm not even 22 yet gawd. 

I want my last semester to be a blast. And I want it to be memorable for more than just mugging and fingercrossing, desperate prayers, pleasepleaseI'lldoanythingifonlys and getting my 2nd uppers.

I want it all.

Today starts now.

The curious missing puzzle piece that didn't fit.

Like a bird with a shiny bauble

I'm easily distracted when it comes to the Internet. Facebook, YouTube, just plain Chrome can cause endless distractions. It's like I'm suckered into this hurricane of social media and the only way to get out is to x the window. And that alone takes immense will power.

This weekend has been a bust again! OMG. I'm so dead at this rate. After a productive Friday, the preceding weekend was pffft (deflate like a popped balloon). I can't seem to get past this weirdly unrelated logic and paradoxes reading of the sorites paradox. And without getting past it, I'm stuck!

Prioritizing or rather procrastinating at the current task and shuffling the order of things, on the (only) bright side, I did manage to finish up the ntu talentsite thing! And just in time I might add. So no yay or nay on that.

Sighs. Where did Time go?

You gotta light me up

Oh man it's been a month since the (last therefore precious) semester started. The drive to mug has been on and off, more off than on heartbreaking to say. In contrast, I've been studiously feeding my reading habit.

Pish posh. On the (only) bright side, I almost got all my textbooks already. Except for the Logic and Paradoxes one which has taken two weeks and counting to ship over. Pfffft. $88.44. Free shipping but still..... $88.44.

Where to go in December?
- London/Paris
- New York
- Work&travel New Zealand

Decisions decisions amongst lifeshaping career choices amongst juggling and procrastinating my daily textbook readings amongst balancing the daily school routines. Who ever implied one would be more prepared for the world after college days? Bloody hell.

Where did Time go?
