Here it is, times off between your study and finals, at least for most of the students as I believe most Arts students had their exams on week 12.
Is it the time everyone waiting for? Answer's no, definitely, it's the time where everyone waits for judgement, i.e. exams, but most of them wanted to wait as long as they could, preparing self, physically and mentally.
"Study" is the word here, like equipping selves with swords and shield, you'll need them for deflecting questions from your lecturer and counter with your reasonings and logics.
It's now Tuesday, second day of SWOT Vac, many will have finished revising one subject, many will still be struggling, many will be confused, many will be composed.
Which one am I? Neither of statements I stated. I'm in a mix, I'm composed, yet confused, I haven't even START revising, but I haven't struggle yet.
Well, everything makes sense since I only have ONE exam.
So what was I doing these past few days?
Let's open the pages few days back, start with Thursday last week.
Why did I pick Thursday you ask? It's the beginning of MY SWOT Vac as I finished my last class on Wednesday, where I came only for 10 minutes speaking exam, then went home.
Making things fast, I was rostered for 20 hours last week over three consecutive days, Thursday to Saturday. I ended up working for 21 hours I guess.
Thursday and Friday were not any special, just the same days where I would be having another day working the day after. After finish working, just went back home, preparing for tomorrow.
Saturday was kind of special, not the Saturday to be exact, but the Sunday.
Let's start the story after I finished working......
I finished working at 1.30pm, as rostered and as planned, and went back home.
When I reached home, I quickly took a shower, cooked 2 packs of Indomies, and ate them while quickly browsed the internet. I went to Chaddie afterwards, for private screening of Muppets, I was invited by my housemate who had the invitation. Overall it was a good and exciting movie! :)
I finished the screening, filled a survey, and went to city. I met up with 3 other friends and went for dinner at Longgrain in Little Bourke Street, it was pricey for me but these Thai cuisine was extraordinary in taste.
After dinner, we went to St. Churros to kill time before meeting up with few other people and hit the bar nearby. We drank a bit, chatted, basically just relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere. For me, I was reluctant to buy a drink at first, not because I am not a drinker, but because it's pretty expensive I had to work out numbers and budgeting first! About 1am, we threw a little surprise to our friend who is having her birthday, yep, on Sunday. Few guys forced her to drink a total of 6 shots, talk about a strong girl and here she is, still standing straight and smiling, but ask what's in her mind, I think her mind might have wandered of somewhere thanks to those shots.
On Sunday, I started the day with a brunch, or actually lunch, at Fitzrovia at Fitzroy Street, Saint Kilda. I had a fresh fruity breakfast special with few toasts, not really fitting for a lunch but I loved it. Then off to Chaddie, again, but this time, for shopping. Got myself few stuff. We had an early dinner at a Korean Restaurant nearby before ending my day with 3 serials on the TV.
On Monday, where most students should have started studying, when the official SWOT Vac started, I decided to slack around and went shopping full day. Spent $300, hoped that it can be a retail therapy even I know that I don't really need retail therapy for now. I was happy getting myself a macbook cover and pyjamas, they were on my wish list for quite some time and I bought them at last, at a bargain price. And again, dinner to close the day at iSpicy.
Back to the present, I washed my clothes and hoping that I can start revising today. But before that, I'm thinking of making myself lunch. Let's see what's in the fridge and hit the kitchen. Now if you'll excuse me, my tummy showed the clock reaching 12.
