It is the beginning of swot vac and so far this semester, I have learned two main things: 1. the school is atrociously disorganised and 2. it is going to take me a gazillion years to pay back my uni debt. How depressing eh?
So, my new year's resolution about being 'more sociable and involved in uni' has semi been achieved :)
down side? the outrageously large amount of work that I have to catch up on. Despite the stresses which really do make me cry, it's so worth it (provided I don't flunk out...touch wood). I really love my people now...not that I didn't before, I just couldn't say I really belonged during undergrad. But man, I really, really cannot wait until I graduate. Just...7 and a bit more semesters to go...-.-
One thing that I really don't like nowadays is my lack of time for anything. I remember reading those Mary-Kate and Ashley books when I was younger, that series called 'So much to do, so little time'. I am pretty sure they did not come up with that concept, but regardless, it has never applied to me so much more than it does now. I don't see everyone that I want to catch-up with, and worse of all, I never have time to listen to music any more - ultimate sadface!! So for this reason, I think I have only being listening to two different artists throughout the whole semester (16 WEEKS!) - Switchfoot and kind of randomly, Jeff Buckley.
I spontaneously remembered something the other day - it was a quote, my favourite quote, that I used for an English class at school in year 10.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sail. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-- Mark Twain
I love this quote. We were told to pick our favourite quotes in class and read them out the next lesson - this is the one that I chose. It is something that I wish I could live more by, but I promise myself, after uni is finished, I will!
