It's the first of May today! Seems like a stigma for people to have a fresh new start at the beginning of something. Stigma. It never really occur to me that it is something significant enough to be excited about. One month seemed like a long time. It really does. By the next week, it will mark my 3rd month here in Melbourne. Haaaaaaaa. Right now, I am freaking out about everything. Literally.

First off, assignments. I just finished one bio essay yesterday, now I have another due Friday. Then Friday, I have another assignment that will be due the 3rd week of this month.

What I can't handle about assignments is that it takes up extra time then you would normally allocate for everything else. For example, I have 20 hours of lecture-tutorial-lab times. With an hours lecture for each lecture, it tends to get overwhelming to be absorbed, thus the necessary to do self studying. What I do, is that I write my own notes on each lecture. Since it is based on my own pace, it can take up to 10 to 15 hours of camping in the library, just to do notes according to the lecture's pace. No exaggeration there. Its just that I take time to ensure that I am sure of what was being taught.

Not to forget the other times that are needed for cooking, for doing the laundry, for cleaning the house, for doing grocery shopping, and most importantly, some leisure time. Leisure time is a must at this stage. Otherwise I would probably succumb into stress. Not the kind of person who knows how to handle stress easily, so it's best to keep stress at bay. :O Ah yes. We have online tests every week too. Mmmeeeehhhhhh.

So, once assignments come in, I tend to lose focus. Unsure to focus on the assignment of to focus on studies. That, is where I get thrown all over the place, being confused and unsure. Best part, I don't even know if I am doing it right or otherwise. Sucks big time.

2nd. Exam.
It's practically one more month from today. By right, I should start revising starting today. But we are given only one week break to prepare for the exam. Honestly, at this rate, it doesn't feel like I have enough time. What hit me was the fact that we only studied for three months, and then comes exam. Never been exposed to such packed studying period, ever. All those years, primary school : 6 years, secondary school : 3 years, 2 years. Then college : 11 months. Now? 3 months! Omg.

Though I am not too sure why am I scaring myself at this point of time. Really not a very good timing to freak out, at. all. :/

Next, winter is coming!!
Scary as hell. While everyone in Malaysia is complaining on how hot it is, I, on the other hand, am suffering with the cold. It may not be that bad, but my body seem to be intolerant of extreme temperatures. If it gets too hot, I'll get a headache, if it gets too cold, I'll get a headache too. Pretty sure it's because of the sudden change with the temperature. When you are outside, you are literally freezing (I shiver quite easily), that urge in wanting to get to a warm place is there and you would want to go and warm up somehow. Problem is, sometimes indoors are so hot, that it just makes me go dizzy. As much as my body wants warmth, my head seems to he disagreeing with it. :/ Also probable is the wind. I wish I know how to explain this, but as far as it goes, I get giddy really easily. :(

Bleahhh.

Happy first of May!
When is mother's day, though?
