Looking on...

Yes, I'm done with my exams. Yes, that means I'm done with my first year of uni. Yes, I'm pretty relieved.

No, I'm not coming back so soon. No, I don't have any specific plans for the holidays. No, I'm not super duper excited.

Exam review: I started really studying only about two weeks before my exam. I would ride a bicycle to the library with a bag full of books and food behind my back. I would go there at about 1pm and come home at 11'30pm or 12 midnight. I think I'll eventually overdose on apples one day because most of the times I would have just an apple and some biscuits for dinner. It was so darn sickening and tiring to have to do that for almost every single day. And that's not considering the kind of subjects that you're doing (thank God my subjects this semester were not all very 'blah'). Oh well, at least it's over...for now.

My last paper was Introduction to Management, and with that ended my first year of my double degree of Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Business(Economics) at the University of Tasmania. Fast, no?

Life is like that, isn't it? When we are in the thick of things, we tend to dread it and and wonder if we ever will see the end of the long and winding tunnel. And after going through it, with hindsight, we think to ourselves "wow, that was fast!" or "I wish I could turn back the hands of time".

When will this charade ever end? Only when we die and leave this rigidly defined routine we call 'life'?

Will it end after finishing uni? I don't think so. All these things that uni is synonymous with: assignments, staying up late to research for materials, studying for a test etc. is all very much a part of working life as it is with school and uni life. So, if that part will not change, what will? The only thing I can think of is that by then we will probably have a family of our own to raise and support. And, we all know that there is a whole set of challenges that comes with it. So, maybe that is why all these working adults tend to go on and on about school days being easier than working life.

OR........it could be that my impatience about everything is acting out and that is what is causing me to ramble (besides, I know that most people don't seriously read blog entries).

There are two options to go about this. One, I can go on and mull about this and remain depressed. Two, I can be ignorant about everything, no matter how stuffed up, and just live life for the 'now' and play along with this charade.

*note to self: it's time to do some soul-searching*

Oh, on a positive note, I tried my hands on baking for the first time! I tried making apple crumble because according to everyone it is supposed to be the easiest thing out there that you can make. I failed...partially... I got the apple part correct, but not the crumble part. :-( *Only Euodia knows why... ;-) * Oh well, I've gotta start somewhere...

Here's a picture of my apple crumble BEFORE it was made...


And here is a picture of how the apple crumble was SUPPOSED to look like (I was to embarrassed to take a picture of my end product).
