months have passed and now i'm feeling a tad bit pensive.
since my last post, quite a few things have gone down.
(1) my first set of law school exams have come and gone: after the stress and relative indignation, results came back and it seems that my stress wasn't so warranted after all.
(2) heaps of people from home came to visit: the chubs, jerry, randall, veron and then mum. it was good fun and we ate WAY too much. i have heaps of awesome food photos (*cough*) which will someday make it up here.
(3) i ended up going to MYC over the winter break- which was great! i got to meet heaps and heaps of other unsw students and got the chance to learn a lot as well.
(4) we "road-tripped" to wollongong and canberra. i'll just say now that i'm glad i moved to sydney and not some small ass town that's in the middle of nowhere. for me, big-city-living can never be overrated.
(5) lastly, after 10 hours in a line, one free beanie, scarf and lots of free food later... i finally got the iPhone 4!!!
okay. now because it is week 5 and it's coming to "that time of semester", i've been questioning lately why postgraduate students do what they do. when you boil it down to its very essence, it's difficult to escape the fact that postgrad law is self-inflicted pain and torture. it's a strange "feeling" to be so bitter and conflicted over something that was voluntary in the first place.
the grand hope now, is that at the end of all the whining and grumbling, three years down the track it's all going to make sense and hopefully, it'll all be worth it. but still, the future seems elusive and the present just seems so.... well for a lack of an alternative adjective... annoying. =.=
i'm going to sign off on the following cliche: there really is nowhere but up from here.
