Two days after my last, final presentation of the semester...
... And I'm still busy!!!
I tried going to the gym on Thursday morning, but apparently, even 2 weeks' absence can do a lot of things to your brain, like:
1. Forgetting to bring lock and key for the locker
2. Forgetting to bring gloves for weights
3. Forgetting to bring mp3 player.
4. Forgetting forgetting forgetting...!!!!!
And then I forgot more stuff too, like:
1. Forgetting to retrieve two IPA letters from school for my exchange programme buddies (one due for arrival that same day at 11pm)
2. Forgetting their matriculation dates
3. Forgetting to get more information about administrative stuff, like EZ Link, calling cards, maps, etc
4. Forgetting to even agree on where to meet, how to meet, and what we should look out for (my buddy and I) at the airport, when multiple arrivals just drive me up the wall!
And then I was running around with my auntie and everything, trying to meet all these people at once... I couldn't even stay home in the afternoon and get any rest before heading out for the airport (whoever said that the airport was a good place to shop must've been doing that at Terminal 2, becase Terminal 1 was just absolutely bare!). Fortunately, I managed to get Christmas gifts for Mom and Dad, which wasn't a total loss. I haven't sent my Christmas cards out at all, which is really really late!
And then it's just really funny when I've been the one who's been so, so excited about Narnia, and yet I haven't been the first one to see it! The friend who agreed to watch it with me did it with someone else instead. :S Hm. I don't expect a sorry from her. She hardly does it anyway.
I've also discovered something really interesting. This is my busiest year ever, and yet I feel more energized since my becoming an undergraduate. It's like the juices in my brain just keep pumping, and I actually like that feeling. Like the time when my group report and presentatioin slides were due just 30 minutes before, and we were still not anywhere near the finishing line, and I was panicking and everything... it actually felt quite good. Exhausted and overwhelmed, yes. But it was a strange, new feeling, and I kinda liked it. A lot of people I know will say it's stressed. But I think this level of "stress" that I'm getting is actually doing some good for me.
Weird.
