Yearnings for the Wind, Waves and the Sea

Yeah, that's about the closest thing that's hanging in my mind right now. Friggin' weather.

Isn't it just wonderful, getting hit by another bout of the same flu that just won't go away? And during the examination period, at the worst possible time? About high time Murphy's Law kicked in - never seen such rotten luck of mine in quite a long time already.

I really need a break off all these studying - and the pressure just won't let go! If I study anymore after the Mid Year exams without at least a week of break, I'm gonna crumble anytime soon. Been facing the books for the past few months non-stop - and missing quite a few of the nicest episodes on TV. At least Friday was good for the beginning of as exam weekend - if you could even call it a weekend in the first place.

Looks like it's high time I dragged this sorry ass of mine into Bukit Timah or just lie down at the beach doing nothing and just enjoying the weather... Oh wait, did I just mention the weather? It's bloody hot down here, even the fan's just blowing hot air into my hot insides already. Hmm, how about hot dogs for breakfast then? With this kind of weather you don't even need an oven to bake marshmallows - just throw it on top of the nearest piece of metal and you get black ones.

Maybe I'm just exaggerating, but yeah, that's the heat of the exams and global warming.

Mid Year Exam Fever - chew on nuts!

Okay... so it's the Mid Year Examinations now. Everyone's slogged their guts out, and that includes the studying that everyone's doing in college everyday. Hmm, it's like a literal slave labour camp - everyone slogs it out down here in college. Sometimes I need that little nudge to get myself going.

And I'm starting to question whether actually studying in school is more conducive. Oh well, let the results prove it. If it works, I'm gonna continue my study in school. Heck, I'll might as well just do most of my studying in school instead - been studying at home during the O levels and look at the sheer disparity between those that study at Starbucks or other places and those who study at home. I'm not gonna make the same mistake again.

And Chemistry is so mind-boggling. It's like, the deeper you dwell into it, the worse it gets. In fact, I've just snored my way through earlier today from 3pm to 8pm - a whopping 5 hours of sleep time. I guess you could call it self-indulgence, but these days I haven't been able to sleep well - what's with the stupid goat that appears next to my bedside during these few nights of dreams? Been having this dream occasionally - the first 2 times being close to the previous Common Tests, and another 3 times during this Mid Years. Seriously, I think I'm going bonkers anytime soon from all this studying...

Especially since it's so friggin' critical to what would decide my future career path. Madness. And I keep getting this feeling that I never study enough of my chapters, even though I spend like, hours and days and weeks on the same topic that just never gets into my head. Aaahh. If only the A level questions aren't so unpredictable...
