It's out with the old, in with the new! Goodbye skies of gray, Hello skies of blue!
Anyway, apart from Aries (who just confirmed her readership, haha), i'm not too sure who else reads this space but whoever you are, I'm sure I know who you are and you know what I've been going through. So yeah, just a space for me to rant as usual, and process the thoughts through my (possibly very tiny) brain.
SOOOOOO, 23rd November, the day STATS 151 ended!!! I used to joke/ still will joke that Stats 151 is numerically larger than Stats 101 by 50. so it's urh, harder. The paper was really tough :( I thought i was prepared, but i guess the paper proved me wrong. SinceIi relied mostly on eye power, I think i could have practiced a lot more, but if I had done so, I would have compromised my well-being. So i didn't.
On hindsight now, it would have been academically beneficial, especially with repeated questions that i unfortunately failed to answer. Tried to keep calm during the paper but honestly i couldn't stop my hands from shaking as i keyed in the values in the calculatorS. Yes, i used two, somewhat simultaneously. Trying hard not to think about those silly mistakes right now and also..
I'm trying hard not to expect anything, especially from a paper that i screwed up so badly.
I'm trying hard not to feel obliged to get a B just so my GPA will be decent
I'm trying hard not to be so concerned about my grades and be more concerned about living life.
Then again, it isn't "I'm not expecting.. I don't feel obliged nor is it I'm not concerned.. and am more concerned.."
I'm trying and maybe i should try harder. I will try harder if there's a resolution i have to make by today.
Sometimes i think i must treat myself better, indulge in something of some sorts? I don't know, next update would include a list of Things I Indulge in, or so i hope. oh wait, exams will be over, haha. Maybe next semester?
Writing is quite therapeutic actually, i've neglected this space for far too long and I think it's about time to get started again. Not really writing virtually about virtually every outing i had like in the past, but more of typing down my thoughts. It's going to be really boring, without any pictures and all, but i guess that's what my tumblr/facebook is for. Too much memories have been stored here.
As for living life, I'm really quite unsure about my career path, especially with what i want to do. For now, life is uninteresting and i don't seem to have a particular flair for anything. Quite demoralising?
However, I do know what I want my quality of life to be like and it includes a lot of materialistic wants. It should come as no surprise that my main reason as to why i chose to remain where i am right now is the supposed financial prospects it comes attached with. Watching a video of Steve Jobs giving a speech on how we should be living life and that at the end of the day, doing what you're interested in will make all the difference was not very uplifting but instead leaving me with a heavy heart. This is very much in line with what everyone is saying- casting aside all your doubts and things like that. People however, are afraid of change. I am. I lack the guts to do something so radical in my opinion and more importantly, i'm still lost myself, not knowing what i really like to do. What if i transfer and end up equally unhappy/ regret my choice in time to come? I don't really like studying actually. So maybe it's not the courses but just me. I don't feel the excitement about acquiring knowledge. Anyway someone once told me: "I always see you taking down notes all the time but why is it that you never class part?" I mean, i don't know whether it's because I can't think on my feet quick enough or is it because i'm too dense? It also made me realised that I'm not learning to my fullest potential because I'm not "thinking effectively" and this includes questioning the statements or ideas or whatever. Note to self to revolutionize learning style. Haha, easier said than done.
Oh, actually while typing, i realised... maybe I will like the finance modules? It's not really something you question, those steps you learn how to evaluate companies and all? quite.. systematic? haha omg, i don't even know what finance modules enail, but i guess that's a start. A competitive road, though. Grr and not a road economics students can easily embark on.
That aside, I just want to say, I'm really thankful one paper is over. No longer will I have to pore over the textbook/notes/formula sheet or lug the textbook around (which i hardly use). Till next post, likely on friday. Happiest day of my life, ever. For now, I shall "indulge" in MFE. 

Inspiration in the middle!!! and Friends who have made my school life so much more bearable :)
(eh Aries you too, but you mia)
With that, I shall let go and let God.
