Because I'M DONE! Ah it feels so good =).
Exams ended today when I strolled out of Commercial Law and into the proper holidays! God has been good to me. Even though there were a couple of blunders along the way in the exams, generally it wasn't too bad. (Royally screwed up Property, Plant and Equipment in Financial Accounting). 3 weeks of holiday to kill, and one of the weeks will be spent in Waikanae for the annual TSCF conference. I'm looking forward to the break. It has been a really long semester. And I think its high time for me to catch up on stuff that I've been leaving behind.
So I spent the first couple of hours of celebration day (probably celebration night, since the exam ended late evening) with Li Hui, whom I haven't seen in ages. It was really good catching up with her, and finding out the things that have been going on in each others lives. We had dinner in Satay India, where they served food like "Kuala Lumpur Bean Curd" and "Kuala Lumpur Lamb Curry". I didn't know KL were famous for those kind of stuff, on the other hand no one really cares. And no one knows anyway. We would have spent more time at the beach but the Wellington weather was not very kind. It was raining, and it was really cold. I haven't been to the beach in ages, and I miss that. I should take time and go there, and just rest. And maybe read a book.
I've just spent about an hour or so just talking to my flatmate. We were talking about university in general, and about the workload that we have, interest-free student loans and things like that. He told me about a couple of his friends who are high achievers: people who are Resident Assistants in hostels (about 20 hours a week worth of work), working and studying law at the same time. (8 papers in a year, 300-level); AND are doing well in everything that they are doing. Generally I heed the notion that everyone is different, and everyone works differently. If everyone is the same, where is the joy in that? But still, you wonder when you hear about people like that. Where do they get all that kind of energy and drive? And looking at myself, I always think that if I'm in that sort of position I probably would have gone crazy. And this led us to the notion that if you know exactly where you want to go, and what you want to do, it makes it a lot easier to bear the brunt that comes with it. If you know where you're going in life, and know what you want to do with it, you will put your mind to it, and try to be successful in it; in the context of careers. Everybody, including me, have dreams, and I think all of us have some sort of goals in mind. I have dreams of what I want to do with life, and some of these dreams have different emphasis. I know that when I graduate I will go into accounting (duh), hopefully be part of some fancy accounting firm, maybe go back to school at some point and try to do law (although I think I will not bother then), and if I have enough money, start a business: like a small cafe with lots of nice, soft, jazzy, R&B, emo music. Another part of me would like to be good enough in music to perform with a gospel band, and write songs and do gigs. That would be awesome but I don't think I'm good enough. Not yet anyway. I have to had suffered some sort of emotional crisis to generate a song, and the song is usually so emotional that they probably won't sell. I guess I have dreams, and I know where I should go for the time being, but part of me hope that lots of exciting things will happen along the way. And perhaps God has some other plans for me that I still cannot see. My mom used to tell me about how when she was my age, she had all these things planned out. None of them came into fruition. "In his heart a man plans his course, but God orders his steps."
Anyway... its officially celebration time! Its time for singing, dancing and laughing under the sun because I'M DONE!
Come on and celebrate!
Celebrate!
Celebrate and sing...
