So two exams down!!
Accounting and Microeconomics were tricky and one would wonder why they teach us the simplest things in lectures but give us the most confusing questions ever. Ok... it wasn't THAT bad. :P But seriously! I NEVER knew that economics could have so many long ass stories to confuse you and CHALLENGE you into extracting a concept from that half-a-page story... wow....

Ok... Since im done with ranting about the exam papers, I shall continue to rant about the fact that the venue and the sheer amount of people taking the exam is scary shit. SCARY!!

I would like to NOT touch on the situation during the first day of exams but I'm sorry, I must. First of all, we get there and realise there are also 3rd year accounting students who were taking exams in the SAME exact hall! Holy crap... how big is the hall??? It was HUGE! We had to sit on 2 separate sides of the building. Oh. Yes I forgot to mention that the building was called the Royal Exhibition Building.

Advice from seniors:
1. Try and arrive just in time 'cause you will get frustrated by the sheer fact that it's cold and there are another few thousand students crowding in around you trying to jam into 2 of the tiniest doors ever.

2. Wear multiple layers of clothing 'cause it will get so cold that you cannot even write properly.

The question really is.... How come they squeeze 2 accounting subjects worth of students into 2 doors when there a total of 8 doors in the whole entire building?!??! Truth is.. I don't know... I don't like the invigilators....They caused me to lose my favourite mechanical pencil!

See... I dropped it onto the floor and it was wayyyy in front of me... impossible for me to crawl under the table and reach that far off to get it... USUALLY, observant invigilators will notice that SOMETHING fell onto the floor and pick it up FOR you... So, why didn't they do it?! I totally forgot to pick it up after the exam. >.<

Ok... Im really just ranting 'cause im typing on Monvan's laptop now which is so nice to type on! :D It's a MAC with a keyoard protector... so it's quiet AND soft :P

Anyways... talking on the phone with Yuan Dong yesterday was such a relief 'cause now I know he's doing well and it just made me feel ssooo mcuh better just to talk to someone I have known for so long. Granted talking to parents are awesome but old friends is awesome too. THe sense of belonging and self confidence just all come back.

What I did today was think back to the conversation I had with him and returned to calmness again everytime I strated freaking out about microeconomics. So it was good that I called and I have to give credits to Christopher for suggesting to me to call if I really was that worried. hehehe! Yes... *doink* why didn't I think about that myself?! Actually, I did. Just that Im too used to getting approval from someone before carrying out anything on my own.

That's the diff between studying overseas and studying back home I suppose. Everything is on your head now. Every choice is your own. You freak out? Nobody has enough energy or time or commitment to calm YOU down. It's all on your head.

Floormates just said "I like it here 'cause ALL of us don't care about the drama... and end the nights on a high note"

Now, that's the way to live life. Life with almost no drama ... ~
