Back to the Ball and Chain

Ahh... so college began once more on Monday. It's almost like going back to school, as we follow the public school holidays. All new timetables, some new lecturers, and somehow I feel like I'm already back to college routine even after five weeks of holidays.

For instance, today I asked my applied maths lecturer what'll be coming out for the upcoming tests. Yes, on the second day of the new semester. The disturbing thing is that I only realized the kiasuness when Harn reminded that it was indeed the second of the new semester. This is what happens when one has trials by the end of March and has to finish studying A2 by then. Which is quite a lot and a period of time which will pass faster than we realize.

Blegh... again I'm blogging too much on college stuff. Honestly I couldn't think of anything else to blog about. I have to try to blog on other things.

And I suppose I should apologize to those people (ahem) that freaked out when I posted about the pseudo-release of AS results in my panic-induced stupor. And for correcting it 10 days late. Ahem. Ahem.

2009!

2009 has officially begun! Muahahaha... Anyway, I have decided to list out resolutions for the new year; though whether or not they will be done is another matter altogether...

1. Work my ass off (and any other body part if I have to) to do well for my A2.
2. Have a definite plan for university and courses by March.
3. Lose all (or at least 75%) of my body fat and become healthier and fitter.
4. Not run away when I see people with whom I'm afraid of experiencing (imagined or feared) awkward conversations or situations.
5. Give birthday and christmas presents to family.
6. Further increase my piano-playing skills and knowledge in basic music theory and harmony.
7. Continue learning to play my violin, and not lose my patience even if it makes my ears bleed.
8. Get some kind of music player.
9. Learn to f***ing drive, and not put it off for 2010.
10. Be as environmentally conscious as financially possible.
11. Be more friendly, sociable and outgoing.
12. Don't be afraid to speak or to be myself.
13. Open up more to friends and family.
14. Always think the best of others.
15. Take chances (sensible ones, anyway).
16. Be more optimistic and relaxed in everthing I do.

And that, good readers, is what I plan to do for myself in 2009. I wonder if it's more than the usual number of resolutions than people normally do. Hmm... Anyway, cheers to a great 2009, everyone! :D
