Dark Side

Heyyylowww peeps!
So yesterday we had the meeting about the new script for the sketch
And I gotta say everything went pretty well from there :)
Now all we gotta do is get it over with then we're good :D

I gotta admit last night really brought out the dark side of mine
But don't worry, no feelings were hurt
I don't know how, but I managed to control the burning desire to slit someone's throat
Too much? That's how I felt anyway.
I get mad at people who doesn't give a damn
Or people who don't even bother to check the updates
I know that everyone might have more important stuff to do
But we're a team isn't it?
It is just unfair for people who actually spend the time doing things 
But I guess this is the thing about group work
There are good times but also there are definitely bad times

Except for all the crap we actually had a great time rehearsing our scene
It turns out to be a mix between romance, humor and a little action
I do wanna share with you guys about it
But I just cannot bear the chances of someone doing the same thing again
Don't worry I'll keep you guys updated about how it goes :)

Some might ask, why are you making a big deal out of this?
Chill out it's just a sketch.
Well dude, I don't know about you but for me,
As long as there's marks for it, I'm gonna take it seriously.
I want the best work done with the least amount of time possible
It's just how I do things, you can either agree or disagree :)
Doesn't matter to me :)

To my group members, I apologize if I wasn't exactly friendly yesterday
And that you feel pressured because of me 
At least we got things done now :)
That's what matter to me.

Also thanks for coping with me, you guys are pretty great :)

Mid-Term Exam :O

Hey peeps!
So it's an exam week here in the university
They call it a mid-term but who are we kidding we've only been studying for a month
Oops wait it's only been 3 weeks cause we had a week holiday 
But the teacher is putting in half the syllabus into the mid-term
That's basically my reaction

The worst part is when the teacher says the notes she gave isn't really sufficient we gotta go to the library and refer to the textbook
I have mixed feelings
It's kinda between 'I'm falling apart' and 'Are you effin kidding me'
It kinda feels like this
 AND

Don't take me wrong I have nothing against going to the library 
To be honest the library in the university is a magnificient building
It's scenic and calm and you can see the lake and all
But the problem is that
The distance between the library and my block is North Pole vs South Pole
And it's a freaking uphill road
Can you imagine cycling all the way up?

I've got 3 subjects this week and so far it's 2 down, 1 to go 
Plus there's 3 presentations going next week
I just can't wait for this semester to be over!
I wanna go home!

Ohh there's something I wanna share :)
One of my teachers think it's gonna be funny switching our presentation to a sketch
Yeap. A sketch
The time given was a week and it's 15% to our final grades
Great. Just great.
We were actually good to go but then some other team came up with the same idea we had
So for that we have to redo the script 
Quote from our group leader: "Yep we're gonna die"
With the exam week some people can't make it to our next meeting
I just hope everything goes well from here.

XOXOXOXOXO

Unwell

Heyyylowww peeps!
Well I actually did not expect to blog anytime soon
Cause with the internet speed I'm given 
And the starting of my university life
Blogging just seems to be a mission impossible over here
But I finished my assignments weeks before the due date
So... Here I am! :D

There was a 5 day holiday last week so I went back home
And it's proven
Nowhere will ever feel more comfortable than home
I miss my family, my house, my room, my car, the food and the internet speed
I always thought I'm not gonna get homesick
Since the university is merely a 2 and a half hour drive from home
But that's not true. 
No matter how far/near you are from home, if you're not living in it, you're gonna get home sick
Well at least that's the case for me

After the 5 days break, the first thing that welcomed me back to the hostel, is a cold
I caught a cold on the very first day back here
It's like my body saying: "Dude, go home!"
That is when I really feel the homesick kicking in
I gotta take the meds on my own, remind myself in the next 8 hours
Take vitamin supplements, Check body temperature.
All by my own.
My mom is not here to make sure I'm okay,
My dad is not here to make sure I have an appetite
My brother is not here to make sure I'm not dead.. yet.. :O

But I guess this is a part of growing up
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

Ohh and here's an advice to everyone.
Always bring enough cash for grocery shopping
Because you wouldn't know when your credit card cannot be authorized
I almost got a heart attack yesterday, here's a thank you note to my mom for teaching me to keep emergency money with me :D

Ohh and one of my lecturers wants us to do a sketch instead of a presentation
On a exam week
The sketch is worth 15% for our final course grade
Great. Just great.
Did I mention we should dress up for the sketch too? 
But at least my group members were cooperating on this
Hopefully this sketch is gonna turn out to be a good one.

I guess I can conclude that this week haven't been great
But it's all gonna be fine cause
Tough time doesn't last, tough people do :D

University Week 1

Hey peeps!
So I've been M-I-A here for a while.
Do you guys miss me? :P
If you've read my previous post you'll know that I'm officially a university student now!
Hooray to University!
Also I'm now living in a hostel, cause the University I go to is in a different state :(
200km , 124 miles away
It's not that far I guess :)

Anyway the first week of university is over
Starting from tomorrow, it's the 2nd week
I just wanna share how it went with you guys :)
Well, for starters,
It's only been a week and I already have 4 assignments on hold
Good thing is that there's absolutely no entertainment around here
The internet speed is so poor you can't open 4 webpage at the same time
Not to mention downloading movies or going on YouTube
So I've got all the time in the world :D
I don't really know if I should be happy or sad over this fact

University is a place where you have to learn about teamwork
Cause most of the assignments requires 4-5 group members
Sometimes I just wish I could duplicate myself and Michelle :O
But since the technology today cannot make that happen, and I don't really know anybody here
The random team forming mode is on
And you just don't know when you're suddenly group members with some serious douchebags
This is the time where you gotta calm down and tell yourself this

But thankfully I still have Michelle here with me
So at least when this shit happens
We will stick together and get things done :)

Secondly, my transportation is no longer my car :(
There's 16000 people in the university and roughly 15000 of them ride a bike
So... My journey of bike riding begins!
I'm really grateful that my dad taught me how to ride when I was a kid
Cause I would die walking to the university
The distance of my hostel to the university gate is 1km
From the gate to the lecture theatre is about 2km
The distance the the library is almost 2.5km
Ohh and did I mention it's 50% uphill?
Even though I'm riding a bike,
I can't help but feel this once again 

And lastly, THE WEATHER
The weather here is so hot I got sunburnt badly the first day 
So from snow white, I'm now pocahontas
That is not a joke, I wish it was.
There's also a few days that I have a 3 hour break in between classes
 3 hours is a lot, so I would go home and cook lunch
Every time after coming back from class, the first thing I do is to bathe
Well that's because I will be bathing in my sweat
That is why I shower more than 3 times per day in average

The hostel was kind enough to provided us water heater
But I've never used it once
So I really wouldn't know if it's broken or anything
This place is still stuffy at night, so I've never used my blanket too!
Also with this weather, my hair became so dry and it turns frizzy
I love my hair... a lot
Hence, cue the feelings again

Even though all that is hard to deal with,
The lecturers here are pretty good and helpful
So I guess that's the price I gotta pay other than my tuition fees
And now I'm cooking my meals!
So I guess it's a good thing!
At least I'm gonna be healthy :)

That's all for this post!
I miss you my family, my friends and you guys so much :)

XOXOXOXOXO
