Ello Ello!
I find it so apt that I'm actually blogging right now, in my fav BSL. I just stuffed myself silly with two sushi rolls (first time in uni!) that I got from physiol food court and I'm so full that I can't possibly imagine eating any more food...
and I should be listening to my lectopia....
I can't believe it's already June!!! So much has happened in May that I have yet to find time to jot them all down properly at this site. I've been so caught up last month with so many things, so many thoughts... It's quite unimaginable to me how MAY is over and we are down to the last day of semester one. I had to eventually screen through my own diary/instagram/facebook to get a recap of this month before conjuring up this post.
In addition to that, I'm losing motivation to blog, every time I logon to blogger, I always convince myself that I have many uni works to do and I should really blog on the other day.
3 cafes reviews to be done, as well as my
Melbourne Trip updates. Ehh. Stop procrastinating.
In fact I used to update Dayre on my phone everyday to keep track of my daily life. Now I just don't bother to record all the moments. Enough 'essay-writing' on reports aha.
Anyways, I'm in the midst of drafting my Melbourne trip, hopefully I can get it done before my first day of exams, which is the 18th!
Stay tuned.
So I ransacked through my instagram photos quickly and....
The Sunday before uni started I was shopping at Harbour Town with a bunch of awesome friends.
The first day of uni, I had this shoes of the day post: I was wearing my new pair of KEDS sneakers and my new pinky pants. Friends were like: WAHH CLARE Happy Chinese New Year ah? :P
The first Monday of mid semester break, I was at a house party and that was the craziest night ever.
etc.
etc..
To summarise my semester one, 2014:
1. Uni
So yeh, everyone was so busy with assignments and reports. Everything has finally came to an end today, everyone handed in their works.. which pretty much marks the end of the semester!
And I handed in two reports on wednesday and that signalled a temporary breather for me! Eventually decided to leave all exams revisions behind. I sat in front of my laptop:
earphones in, volume up and ignore the world. Did some online shopping with friends and that simply concluded my relaxing arvo.
2. Love
Constantly receiving love from friends and family. Dad has registered a snapchat account and his selfies will never fail to make me LOL. Mom has been calling/whatsapping me just to check 'my current location' when she knew i've been staying late in uni, make sure I eat my meals (especially dinners) properly as well as nagging me to tidy up my wardrobe + do my laundry.
3. Fitness
Seriously, I feel the need to find time in between my extremely packed swot vac schedule to spend some time working out.. I have to develop a healthier lifestyle!
4. Food
yes food, I'm still enjoying good food(mainly breakfast) at the moment. If you haven't inferred from my instagram posts which I posted recently.. I'm a breakfast person so any breakfasts can catch my eyes and steal my heart! Here's some of the highlights of my homemade brekkie :P
5. Sleep
I think I came to a worthy realization of how sleep matters to me. I have to make sure I hit the sacks before 11pm, or the latest by 12am. At the beginning of the semester, it wasn't a big deal for me to go to bed around 2am and got out from bed (like a zombie) for the 8am lecture. But things have changed... I JUST NEED MORE SLEEPS. bleh.
6. Thoughts
"How would you describe your semester one? Peak or trough?"
Well, my highs are pretty crazy high too. I could be laughing like mad on my own laughters that my friends filmed, I could be running around the house yelling and distracting my sister about small little things that can eventually annoy her. I could spam my besties' inbox in the middle of the night just to tell them how hungry and sleepy I am, bug them over a hundred messages to get them to reply me... or
At the same time, I could be really emotional. To confess, my feelings are erratic, especially during those stressful days when I was extremely swamped with my work load. But it was A.L.R.I.G.H.T at the beginning of the semester and I enjoyed every single moments: basking under the sun with friends and sipping our fav iced coffee/iced choc; walking home together reminiscing the good old days that we had in Form 4...
But at some points, I can be right down smack in the lows during lectures and whining over text to whoever pouring out my woes about how much I wish to get out of lecture halls... I can be so depressed when several thoughts start haunting my mind. Hah, not the things that I usually do, I'm usually an optimistic girl (blehh:P). Sorry if the rants made me sound stupid, I just need an outlet.
I reckon that is just an accumulation of collective feelings over a period of time. All I can say is that I'm satisfied, I'm appreciative of what I have, I'm thankful for the people (awesome-ly awesome people!) God has placed in my life. I am surrounded with my loved ones and they are definitely strong pillars of support throughout the semester. Be it friends, family or anyone else, I'm way too blessed to own these relationships that I share and help me grounded. Honestly, I'm gleeing with joy that I have survived my semester one 2014,
not sure about the finals, but let's skip it first.
I really can't wait for exams to end. I'll definitely go for (a few) hiking trip(s) / do some bakings / shopping and what I look forward the most is my back-to-hometown-trip.
Alright, I should stop ranting now! Life is all about keeping yourself occupied.
But before I sign off.....
Just a silly photo of mine.
Have a nice weekend, and enjoy swot vac to the max!
