3rd Month Mark

So time flew past. It's already my third month in Brisbane. Neglected this space once again due to overwhelming school assignments. Managed to clear 3 assignments last week. I have just started on my exam revision (Notes Preparation Stage), did more than I expected so I decided to blog for a little while masking. 10 weeks of school passed. I'm tired. Trying to prevent burn-out. I have other commitments as of now as well. Helping out with design/marketing for Singaporean activities. So, I get a little more stressed and conscious of the time I have on hand. If I have 2 meetings a week, that means I have AT LEAST 4-6 hours LESSER than others to do my revision, my school work. 4-6 hours is enough to complete 2 sets of notes. Time is definitely not on my side, so I have to take every chance, of what ever time I have on time to be a nerd, and start preparing for exams before it's too late. After I was done with notes just now, I realised, it's really much better back in Singapore. Whenever my fingers/hand get tired from writing notes, my mum would massage them for me. Whenever my back aches from sitting too long, writing notes, she would help massage and stretch for me. And I don't have to worry about a single meal. Here, I have NOTHING. Zero. I have to endure the aches, rely on muscle relief gels/cream, get on with life studying and cook my meals (but thankfully, I have housemates who usually do the cooking). I miss my Singaporean friends. Unfortunately, not going back to Singapore this July, because I need to save money. & 1 month break back in SG is not enough. So, I'm heading back end November instead. School's been pretty alright I would say, though I often zone out during lectures, either because I am too sleepy or I catch no ball. Trying not to give myself too much stress, but time to continue adapting and get used to everything. But, I would say I have been doing quite alright since it's my 1st semester in University. Just 10 weeks in, I think what I have achieved now is considered good (since I have to factor in housework etc, the reduction of time available to study). I think that's all for now. I will try to be back once I'm done with finals. My finals end on the 22nd June. Let's do this Miko, we will survive this. To my readers, all the best and work hard in your lives!
