Woo. 4 down, 2 more. 1 on the coming tuesday, the last one on thursday, then I'll declare my semester officially over.

Doesn't mean that my holiday is gonna be any time less packed. Foresee that I'll be busy with hall stuff.

2 down, 4 to go.

Been staying up way late studying throughout the night, and only sleeping when the dawn breaks. Not a very good habit to keep up, but somehow it's a lot easier to concentrate at night, especially when you are past your bedtime and it's impossible to fall asleep anymore. But will need to slowly adjust back since I have some morning papers and it's suicide to study the night and sit for it in the morning.

This semester's been rather fast for me. Up to now, I still don't have the exam feeling. I'm like just studying and then just go and sit for some paper and then studying for another subject and sitting for that paper, yada, yada. And exam is actually ending soon, come to think of it. Next thursday I'll be a free person, at least until the end of 2006.

Ooo. So christmas is coming. New year is coming. 2007 is coming.

Had Jap paper last thursday, later on in the evening I'll be officially having my first core paper. By this coming thurs I'll be 4 down and 2 more to go. The next thursday I'll finally be free!

Anyway, to quote someone:

X: What, ni wei da ju zhao xiang? (You thinking of the whole picture?)

Y: Ya lor, ni shi wo de da ju. (Ya lor, you are my "whole picture" I'm thinking of.)

X: Awww... *feels touched*

Y: *suddenly shouts out to X* DA JU!! (Big mandarin orange!!)

Ok, it's not that funny, but at that time it was.

I'm knee-deep and handcuffed in this never-ending cycle of continuous studying, sleeping and eating and then just to wake up to more studying.

Think my life has finally came to a new low.

Been so obsessed with my not-so-new life of no life that I've really overlooked the smaller details of life. Maybe it's not so small a deal. And definitely about the people around me that I care about.

I keep telling myself I need to relax, I need to get in touch with people, but somehow time just keeps me on a tight leash. It's getting on my nerves, but there's nothing I can do. I just say to myself that I'm already in my 2nd year, there's only that much left to run before reaching the finish line.

But somehow if I neglect the people that came down to support me, to watch me finish the race, sooner or later, they are gonna get bored sitting down by the sidelines and not knowing what I'm exactly doing on the track. Will they understand what I'm going through now?
