More than half of my to-do list has been done, so i guess you could say that the last 2 days have been quite productive. to a large extent, the stuff on that list are things that i've been wanting/needing to do for a very long time, which brings a more-than-usual sense of satisfaction when i do do them.
went back to school today to collect my A-level certificate. i must say, i'm quite impressed with the folder i got. it looks so professional! i'm rather amused whenever i read my testimonials. personally, i feel that they're quite exaggerated. call me modest. heh. sadly, i still feel that slight pang of regret when i see my C for maths, and band 3 for PW. they're the 2 things that screwed up an otherwise decent-looking set of results. still, i have to lan lan, as nothing i do can change that. all i can do is hope my prospective employer/interviewer focuses on the AAB A2 instead.
swimming was interesting, to say the least. prior to this, it was 8 months ago when i last stepped into a pool. took a little while to get accustomed to the fluid dynamics again, but it was generally ok...except for this sharp pain in my lower back when i got out of the water. it's all but gone now, but it sure was scary then. i have my theories on how it developed, but let's not bore anyone to death here, shall we? one thing still puzzles me, and that is how competitive swimmers can hit such high speeds in water. guess i generate more drag force as opposed to them. oh well. physics of fluids has never been my forte.
most of the other stuff is pretty mundane. i mean, how fun can checking up on driving, ipods and a university be? ok, i'll admit checking out the ipod was pretty cool, but the other 2 were pretty unremarkable. if there's one thing i can conclude from my research, it's that i'm going to be quite short of money in the coming year. this is, of course, taking my savings target into account and making necessary concessions. even then, cash flow's still going to be restricted.
well, 2 days gone, 2 more to go. life is on the verge of becoming sian, but i shall not complain, because anything is better than being in camp. aside from those mentioned above, there haven't really been any interesting experiences. on an unrelated thought, 6 months in gedong down, another 13 more to go! now tell me, is that supposed to provide motivation or cause despair?
