The past month

Since my last post, many things have come and gone, main highlights being CA2 and yesterday.

So i was wondering why I thought my CA2 will be just as good or rather, just as bad as my CA1 even though the syllabus was supposedly much more easy going.. then I realised that I only spent half the time studying for it than I did for CA1. Which reminds me, I better get back to studying for finals >_>

But it seems like the past 1 and a half years odd in uni has really changed my tolerance level for stress... to the extent where I can actually continue studying just that wee bit below the pace at which I would burn out at and sustain it for a whole week or possibly more... to the extent where (sadly enough) there isn't really much joy left in finishing an exam anymore knowing that the next one is just around the corner.

If you ask me, I would say that I wouldn't really expect anything from my exams. I believe that as long as I put in my personal best, God will honour my efforts and give me what He thinks that I deserve or what I need... especially so since He was the One who led me to this course

Post-CA lectures as usual aren't exactly too forgiving but again, it's probably how things are and will be for some time. Not too much point mulling over it

Yesterday was quite a packed night for me, two 21st parties (+1 more psuedo 21st ... greeting.) and a nussu bash at st james'. Nothing much to say about that day really, except that it was good to have the company of friends, both past and present, and enjoy the fun and laughter that they bring =)

Most notably yesterday, was actually how I very very nearly got into an accident... shan't touch on the details, but oh how I was reminded about how silly mistakes that I make sometimes can result in dire consequences and more so, how God protects me each time I make a mistake... Thank You LORD for keeping me safe, just thank You so so much...

Once again I want to give thanks to God for seeing me through the past month and the grace that so freely showers upon me each day. Lessons and studying may not be the most enjoyable thing to do but I'll still do it for Him

Midnight - school starts today

And an update.... ok so I've only completed 8 hours out of the 14 i wanted to heh. Blame it on my lack of perseverance. Things were going well on the first 2 days; 3.5 hours of webcast + study of related notes... personally that's a huge wow on my side considering how badly i've been studying XD

Then today and yesterday I just refused to study so much coz it was just so draining (12 hours of sleep a day up from 9-10 can more than testify to that). So I ended up doing only 1 more hour over the 2 days. how productive lol

Ok, so I've got to catch up on quite a bit once school starts... God has already given me a glimpse of what He can do with a bummer like me within those two days, so I believe that over the next 2.5 weeks that I have before the exams, He'll definitely show me more of just what He can do.

Anyways, school is starting in just over 8 hours and here I am still on the comp... Maybe I should have tried correcting my sleep-at-4am-wake-up-past-12 habit before today. From the looks of it (+ how I really still need 10 hours of sleep or more), chances are I'll just end up zombified again in school tomorrow. What's new right

Academics aside, the past week has been rather trying for me spiritually... Many things happening concurrently and yet independent of each other. So much for trying to concentrate on the task at hand. But I've been through worst storms; The God who has seen me through the past storms will definitely see me through this period as well.

Again, I'll see how things go, as of now, I'm better off lamenting on how 1 month of hoilidays (which is really a not so cleverly disguised study break) pass as fast as 1 week of school. Back to the study mood from tomorrow... sigh~
