Should I be happy or sad, excited or anxious, or a mix of all?

Don't bother with the title. Came up with it on the spur of the moment. Turns out that's how i'm feeling now. Don't ask how I can be all the above at one time. I can. Depending upon what's running through my overstuffed head.

First things first. Provisional exam timetable's out. Here it is:-

14th June - PHA 3801 (Principles of Pharmacology) (AM)
19th June - GEN 2041 (Foundations of Genetics) (PM)
26th June - HUP 3801 (Essentials of Pathology) (AM)
27th June - GEN 3040 (Genomics and Molecular Genetics) (AM)

You tell me. What do you think of it? Like a 5,000 word essay plan format, here are the advantages and disadvantages of having such a timetable:-
Advantages:
  • Lots of time to study in between papers (except last two papers)
  • Have two weeks from start of "examination period" before first paper
  • Don't have to mug many subjects at once. (again except last two papers)
  • Last paper is in the morning. no tension. thank god! =)
  • *scratches head* err...

Disadvantages:

  • Spread over three weeks. damn long time to wait for exams to finish.
  • Have to wait till end of month to celebrate "last semester" exams.
  • Last two papers are back to back. day after day. subjects with lots to study.
  • am probably the only person in my batch who takes this combo. will be alone in the exams. unique timetable. again (had a unique timetable 2 semesters ago.)
  • *scratches head* (again) err...

Looks like they balance out.

Verdict: Be happy with this timetable. more like, "no choice". love it. enjoy it.

Okay..back to my "moods". HAPPY? That's due to the fact that I will be finishing this semester. A senior. Finishing my degree. Finishing with doing tons of assignments and studying a truckload of stuff for exams. Well. For the present let us say. No one knows what'll happen in the future. SAD? That's probably because I will not meet the "gang" for a long time afterwards. Maybe. Don't know who'll end up where. No more hanging out with the gang for lunch, joking around. Not that we do that often this sem, but it feels funny knowing you'll never see them again. Maybe later when we make a point to meet somewhere. If we are all at the same place, the same time. God only knows. I'm sad also because I'm going to leave this place, which holds many memories. yeah yeah you're probably saying that I'm idiotic for even thinking that out. Don't blame me. I like to keep memories of places where I studied...in my heart. Memories. That's all you'll have when you leave. EXCITED? The fact that I am finishing this semester, together with the fact that i'm graduating this year. Also, not to forget, the prospect of doing something different. Starting something new. I'm always excited about starting something new. ANXIOUS? I'll be starting something new, something i don't really know much about, I'm leaving something I'm so familiar with. And doing something new, meeting new people and adjusting to the new surroundings always get me anxious. I know I can do it, but still, nothing can stop the anxiety from being present.

*sheesh* I'm simply going on and on....better stop. Have to study for the Pharmacology test this monday. Simply wanted to blog. Been ages since I wrote in the blog. Blame lecturers for it. They give us a bucketload of stuff to do, and pile even more when you're not even done with the previous assignments! Not to mention with the upcoming exams, this sem's proving to be hectic. Thank God I'll be free in 2 months time. TWO MONTHS?! That's it?! Oh my goodness!!! That's a short time! A really short time!

Okay...Ciao ppl! Good luck to all readers (if there are any!) for exams, tests, assignments, anything, and everything.

Ciao! Au revoir!
