thin paper cuts deep.

i have already completed 2 weeks of uni and it's week 3 next week! sheesh..how time flies. week 3 would also mean that i'm 1/4 through this semester? bleah. anyways, it was a pretty bad week this week in terms of sleep and uni. it started with a back log of work to do since last sunday. i had two concept notes due and a 2-page brief about my web design project and a mini-presentation. so yep, late nights and early mornings are a deadly concoction for me. on the other hand, i was really happy with myself in terms of my progress in golf. i don't know what struck me on wednesday but suddenly, i could hit so much better! and since then, well only friday actually, i'm seeing an increase in distance and height of my shots =) and yea, i've enrolled in a beginner's course in golf that is offered by the uni and i'm starting this friday! woohoo! pretty excited about it. it'll give me something to do on fridays too, since it's my day off from uni.

so how's uni? i guess it's the same. glad to see friends i haven't seen the whole summer. somehow it also feels good to be back studying as i seriously think the summer break was too long and it made me feel useless. but still, i really dread the heap loads of reading we have to do each week. but i guess at least now i have a purpose. i know i always said the plan is to not plan, but i've been thinking lots on what i'm gonna do after uni. will i continue to study for an honours degree (hopefully i'll make the cut)? will i work here? or will i go back to Singapore? the questions are tough and i hate thinking about them, but it's something that i would have to think about in due time too. so yea, i don't wanna dwell on them as of yet, but i've certainly gotta give myself a sense of what's to happen in the near future. i can't escape the fact that i'm someone who doesn't really flourish on spontaniety.

oh! i'm hooked onto samurai sudoku (5 grid sudoku) for the moment too. i think life's pretty much like a samurai sudoku puzzle. it's pretty hard to do, takes a while to figure, but the answers are literally staring you in the face. also, you have to do the puzzle as a whole (look at all 5 boxes and not solve each box individually). you get a little high on it at the beginning as you fill in the easy boxes using the hints. but then when the hints are used up, you really gotta exert those brain cells of yours. as you fill up more boxes, more answers start coming through, but then, it gets a little messy and convoluted and your brain's tired from all the thinking. you pause for a while, look at what you've filled up and then continue. finally, it's all filled up and you've completed it! ok, maybe it doesn't sum up the whole of your life, but maybe part of life is similar to it.

ok, i guess i better get back to my readings for tomorrow. don't wanna be lost in class. plus i just watched 2 episodes of gossip girl. not good. it's addictive! lol! ok, till next week =)

loves.

xoxo
