Exams are next week… I’ve got a fever again, and lots of material to cover.

I’ve been accepted for the 08/09 student exchange programme!! While I kept hinting that I wanted to go to Germany, the interviewers sent me to Michigan. Nevertheless, it’d be great fun freezing my ass off there. On the same note, for some reason my parents keep bugging me to transfer my credits to another university to complete my studies there.. oh well, parents have weird perceptions of reality.

I’m determined to do either one of two things in my life (courtesy of a discussion last night). And in order of preference,
1. Become a prof
2. Make lots and lots of money if (1) fails.
Since (1) is partially affected by variables beyond my control, I will start on (2) first. I’ve got a few business ideas, and I’m gonna set up my business soon. Stay tuned!

One more thing: I’m pissed with the stupid NUS email. I keep getting spammed there. @#$%@#$%$@# Somebody’s not doing their job.

All you can do is breathe

when the sun’s rays streak down the horizon,
we enjoy its warmth,
and all we can do is breathe.

when the clouds roll in and the wind starts howling,
we bow and shiver,
and all we can do is breathe.

when the raindrops fall and the world gets drenched,
we run for cover,
and all we can do is breathe.

I’m still alive.

My absence from this blog was mainly due to school commitments. My grandmother moved out from the house last week. Because of this, I’ve been able to spend my days sitting in the living room, utilising the space as my own study area. I did visit my grandma yesterday, and it appears all is well and good.

My schedule is packed for the next 3 weeks. The more I think about it, the more depressed I get. Exams are around the corner, and I have to work hard if I want to get at least 2 A’s this semester, though it’s doubtful since there’ll always be some wise-ass foreign student who can suck up to the prof well enough to get him/her that A. Nevertheless, I’m hopeful.

I decided to do special term. Both special terms, so that I can take less modules during the actual term. Ah, and I also applied for the exchange programme commencing next January. I applied to McGill (Montreal), Michigan (Ann Arbor), and Ludwig-Maximillian (Munich). Whichever I get into, it’d be fine with me.. oh, except if I get into Adelaide..I applied for fun only. I have absolutely no intention of attending such a university (read between the lines please).

I need to get a thumbdrive. How can a geek like myself have survived so long without one? Hmm, maybe I’ll go down to vivo now to get it. Then again, it looks like it’s going to storm real bad.. I’ll think twice.
