Good times

• When you laugh like crazy for no reason at all,
• When you can just be yourself without a care,
• When memories jostle for space in your head,
• When you know this is the happiest you can ever get,

You know you are with friends.

What I'm loving, what I'm not

The weather is perfect. Christmas seems already in the air. A lot of weddings taking place all around. Great time for weekend trips/picnics. I'm loving it.

What I'm not loving is that I've got my MA finals from December 26.

That's doesn't mean I'm studying all day. Like now I'm writing this post when I should be studying Shakespearean criticism. I'm not really worried about the exam and that's what worries me.

Thing is, when you are out of touch with studies for a long time, it's REALLY hard to get back into the serious-studying mode. When I began preparing for this exam, my concentration span was 5 minutes. Literally. After a few months now, it's climbed to around 30 minutes. Hmmm, not bad! The question is if it's enough to pass me.

My seniors have inspired me by saying "It's really tough to fail in MA!" Err... but you got to put in SOME effort, right?

Anyway, I think I'll just be optimistic. Two years ago, I did a post called Weary way towards MA and now I'm nearing the end of the "weary way". Well, it's not been that weary. The last two years, I've been busy making sure it's not weary at all. Ask me how. By staying far away from my books.

Oh let's not ruin my day by thinking about exams! Something more interesting is that I've created a new blog.

It's called stray travels. I'm yet to write the first post. It's going to be on travel but I'll have to decide exactly what kind of flavour I'm going to give it.
