Sem 5, End of Semester: Aftermath

OK, so the semester had ended.

Actually it ended almost two weeks ago, on 3rd of May, with the end of the examination. So why do I take so long to update.

Well, there are more important things in life than just blogging isn't it?

The exam period was not an easy time to go through. Partly because the exams are never easy (if it is, I will always be able to finish the papers, with time to spare), and partly because the exam period itself is a tough period. All the time spent in isolation to revise for the paper (it's not undergrad yrs anymore; I am not even a full time student, I don't have big groups of friends/course mate revise together), all the stress, and all the uncertainties. Everything just row into one to make it an unhappy period.

So you can understand why I am not so eager to write about it.

Anyway, another reason why I didn't post immediately is that everything was a mess after exam. During term time, there is a certain work/study schedule to follow; a certain routine of life. Now that the semester is over, the exam is over, I am going to start a new routine. By right, I should have a plan of what I want to do for the term break. And I do. However, the plan doesn't seem to fit quite right with the real situation (I'm partly - ok, mostly - responsible for it), so a lot of adjustment are needed. Slowly and surely a order will emerge, but meanwhile, things are going be rather off-track.

I still haven't talk about how I did for my exam right? Well, all I can say is that for the amount of preparation I did for the exam, I am quite satisfied with how I did. But I won't know about the result until the end of the month.

As for this term break, it is going to be the most busy one I had, cos it will be all about doing my MSc project. A piece of good luck is that now I am able to do my project full time at work. So I can now fully focus on it without any distraction. Let's hope I can knock out something by August.
