3/4
Hi everyone!
Can't believe you're still here checking up on my super dead blog... wow. Thank you for your dedication :')
Still too lazy to upload all my pictures hehe so just gonna update yall in point form about the more major things that have happened so far in my life.
1. Nothing much has been going on after finals actually, except for my Bangkok trip with my friends from JC. It was my first time travelling alone without any parents or 'adults' tagging along (so weird to say this since I'm already 20) So yup, just 100% friends.
There were seven of us and honestly sometimes I think the group was too big, but it's all good, we did fine and all had fun :) really glad to discover that my friends make awesome travel buddies.
Just glad that the guys and girls slept in separate rooms because the boys turned theirs into a pig sty.
Will elaborate more on the trip when I upload pics. Which might be a really long time later...
2. I applied for a hostel room and managed to secure one! Hehe. No more late nights spent travelling home, yaysies. I get more free time and study time which is great cos I'm way more productive studying in school than at home. But I guess the downsides are that I have to do my own laundry, find my own food on weekdays etc. Then again, it's also a good opportunity for me to learn to be more independent, because...
3. I got into SEP!!! -throws confetti- Got my second choice which is Konstanz University. It's a beautiful place (but then again most places in Germany are probably beautiful) that overlooks Lake Constance. It's also only 4km from Switzerland. Lum (hello Lum!) has been joking that I can run there if I want to. My mum also has an ease of heart now cos it's quite a safe area, far away from all the major cities in Germany. Super excited to go on SEP :) It's a wonderful opportunity and I'm thankful for it.
4. Today is also results day. I did a lot better than last sem which was a pleasant surprise. Also managed to pull my cap up by a bit tho I'm still in the same range. My grades aren't stellar by any means, but I'm happy with them, which is what matters :)
5. Random fact: Been sitting alone in the CAC clubroom for a couple hours now just listening to music and blogging LOL. But I'm not that weird to have come all the way to school for no reason of course. Later is Jam Night yay and I'm just a little early... by four hours... ahahaha
I'm actually prepared for Jam Night for once. Learnt MIA by a7x (it's the video right above) yayy. It's a super fun song to play with a lot of interesting rhythms, and it alternates between 3/4 and 4/4, ooh my favourite. Excited to jam later :)
ok BYE

You can't stop now, it's already begun
Here's another of my current favourite songs, thought I should've used this for the previous post cos it's more of a post-finals mood kinda song, but too lazy to edit
Yay
Hear you me
The photos can't seem to load, so here's a nice song I like to listen to before I sleep.
So finally, finals are over!!!! The one or two days after my last paper I felt the familiar relief and relished finally being able to do all the things I wanted to do, and at my own leisure, with so much time to kill, but now I'm starting to be bored hahaha
Soo for lack of more meaningful things to blog about, lemme just chronicle the last few weeks, from where I left off.
Err, don't really remember what I did in week 13. Prolly just attended lectures and tutorials as usual. 2303 tutor requested to take a photo with us hahaha so cute. Never had a tutor do that- usually they just give little speeches and final exam pointers, maybe hints if you're lucky, then they attempt to say bye to us in the most dignified and least awkward way possible
German lecturer brought German cakes for us on our Friday and last lecture! They were delicious omg. One was marble cake and the other I forgot, but I remember I preferred this and it tasted lemony. Hehe yums
Also got back a bunch of graded assignments and our final exam paper. Don't remember the other grades (prolly didn't do so well hahahaha) but I scored 8% above the average for my final paper! Was so happy cos I camped in the studio and had an hour of sleep the night before the final, and felt super groggy during the paper.
Reading Week was spent travelling to school every day, to and fro, to study in the clubroom with the cca mates. I wasn't stressed at all this finals period, and I guess it's prolly partly due to that- having study buddies. Dunno if it's a good or bad thing. But I did feel stressed that I wasn't stressed.
The travelling was not so much of a big deal compared to the shitty food at YIH... :( It's so bad I kennut. Had to eat there every day of the week too because everything else was so far out. Never again.
Also, made the mistake of deciding to study for my arts gem (Pirates, Oceans and the Maritime World) only the day before the exam. I couldn't finish studying :( Pretty sure I wrote a bunch of nonsense.
All my core mod papers were admittedly doable. Which I guess is a bad thing :( Time to pray to the bell curve god.
Anyways, time to sleeppppp. So tired from watching nothing but online movies and Friends all day long. Hehe

Good night friends
