Been preparing for the exams, and it's surprised me how fast I'm flying through these notes. I recall it used to take me weeks to do these in the previous semesters. I guess that's a little bit of stress off my back.
Been thinking about life after graduation. And I can't wait. No matter what it is, work or study, I think it'll be exciting to begin a new chapter.
I've been doing a lot of assignments as well, and I've realised that most of my assignments have been done on memory work. Like I would recall something taught last year, and that would be enough for me to do the assignment. But I've been recalling strange stuff as well. Like how the Harry Potter series ended. And maybe a lot of things about Friends. I think I remember things that I like better. But that is so obvious isn't it? Then again, so are many other things in Economics. Like payoff structures. Heh, I guess it's a good thing I like economics then. I don't like finance so much. But it seems to be my best performing subject thus far. I guess payoff structures aren't so obvious anymore. Maybe I'm measuring payoffs incorrectly.
This is what happens when you study for exams. Suddenly the entire world becomes one big exam paper. Poor me.

Exams are coming!! It's that time of the year again. I guess it means more this time round because it's my final year. I talked with those who were in the same situation as myself, and many of us all feel like the semester has killed us. With assignments up to the last week, we've hardly begun any revision at all for the exam which matters the most in 3 years.
My friend from Deakin said that they removed the SWOT VAC, so exams are straight after the semester ends. I feel for her, because I know the kind of pressure there is to perform now more than before.
With all this pressure, I decided to sit down and plan my revision for my exams, seeing as how the schedule is so tight, there is little room for error. I normally worked from the first day forward, and if there were extra days left, I would put in practice papers. I decided to work the other way this semester, thinking that there won't be any spare time left. But after all the planning had been done, I'm still left with more than expected time to spare! I guess its God's way of telling me not to worry.

I'm 22!! Time really flies. It was a very good celebration. With a make over (really just a hair cut), a dim sum lunch (where the waitress didn't know the real name of the dimsum), and a good dinner, and "surprise" at the end. The big surprise of course, was coming back to a trashed house. My TV at the door with the fan on top of it. The couch pushed into the middle of the living area, and my coffee table "missing". I didn't even notice!! I was very surprised with all the cards and videos as well!! Thanks to everyone who wrote something. I want to take a mental picture of it, and remember it for what is was.
