on a hiatus
..and incessant ramblings..
Swotvac (study week) has thrown been throwing me with an array of temptation. I feel as though I am being pulled left and right to do everything but study. Voices in my head are often ringing
"bed, bed, bed"
"world cup, world cup, world, cup"
"big brother, big brother, big brother"
"smoke break, smoke break, smoke break"
"internet, internet, internet"
At times like these, I wish those voices were my mom's constant nagging instead "OI! Go and study larh! ( followed by a string of 5-10mins repetitive, high-pitched nagging session).
It doesn't help that its raining now whilst I am typing this. It doesn’t help that winter is never a productive studying-season. It doesn’t help that I am imbued with a short attention span. It doesn't help that I ALWAYS cave in to my temptations.
On another different note, Esther Quek publicised my email for everyone on her multiply (click) to see. How very embarrassing as the email contains me taking a stab at my egoistic self. So now, I am burrowing a hole to recluse this shy, introverted and reserved self.
Fuck! What the hell am I doing here? I am supposed to be studying!!
Portugal vs England at 10pm. To watch or not to watch?
Yesterday marks the last day of teaching week. Yesterday marks the completion of attending lectures/tutorials in the span of 1 1/2 years at UQ. Yesterday I sat at the Great Court for perhaps the last time; my favourite place in UQ.
The Great Court will always hold a special place in my heart. Spending time alone during my breaks, under the shady trees, with coffee, cigarettes and my lunch in tow. More often than not, with a few close friends, wasting our time as the world zooms by.
Sadness seems to be the over-arching emotion for now, as I know in due time, I will be leaving this place, that for 1 1/2years, I have called home. Sadness lies in the fact the close network of friends that I have developed will soon be separated. Sadness prevails from the thoughts of re-entering the rat race again. Sadness stems from knowing that exams are soon to come, damnit!
Enough of my ranting, here's some pics taken to commemorate the last week of uni.
