How do I get out of here?
While other people are stressing over their coming midterms, I am dying under all my projects and 7 presentations this semester. Argh. Previous years, everything was still very do-able e.g. marketing plan, excel solutions for a company, come up with a creative product..
Now, I'm finding myself having to do so much finance presentations e.g. do fundamental and technical analysis on a company, forecast some future valuation of a company's balance sheet etc. I don't know how to do any of these at all!! And by hook or by crook, I must come up with something. What's more, my project mate just told me she took 6 weeks to come up with valuation, and I need to get it done by this Thursday. OMG.
On top of that, I need to study 6 chapters of financial markets by tomorrow, and do up part of a business plan by Friday. Ok, so everyone's in the same boat. I shouldn't complain. In fact, other people even have a lot of CCAs and commitments aside from these. But the alternative to complaining is facing my 6 chapters of finance which is absolutely dreadful and which I need to put off for just a while more. Terrible huh?
Was randomly blog-surfing just now and other people seemed to have way more exciting lives. Instead of living everyday day-to-day and passively doing work/stuff because it's required of them, they proactively go out and find things to do. I really wish I could manage my time so well and create the time to do all those crazy things too. One was tearing down the streets of US, another just hanging out at the beach, and some even taking simple idyllic walks down some pretty place.
Can't wait for this terrible week to end. Sunday, it's off to JB with my dear hostel people and from Tuesday to Saturday, we're jetting of to Macau to "study" how the casino of the Venetian is run. We'll probably "study" it in practice a lot more =D. And oh.. SHOPPING IN HONGKONG WHEE!! Not to mention all the hostel peeps will now be stocked up with DFS goods. Yay! One more week to finally feeling more alive =).
Oh no.. and I have been neglecting the tagboard.. will answer soon!!

I am so having a passion crisis here. Ok, this has nothing to do with relationships and the like, but rather, I feel like I've just lost the passion to do anything. I'm scared of myself. I look at other people, and there's just so much they have to share, so much experience, so much thought, so much vision. Then I look at myself, and I see nothing. Just plugging on with whatever needs to get done, not that I can actually finish doing what I need to do up to my expectations. What does it take to get to that same level?
Anyway, yesterday was great. After a long period of procrastinating about getting some exercise done, Leann and I grabbed bikes and cycled after our little pizza gathering from the hostel all the way to West Coast Park! It was a long time since I got to cycle, and it was her first time on the road like that too. The road felt like ours to ride and it was fun moving around the playground without any care. It's rare to feel so free.
The days are passing by really fast. Things have really changed. In just a difference of one semester, I feel kind of "not really in the inside" with the smux people when it felt so much like a family the semester before. At the hostel last semester, practically every night was a supper/gathering/clubbing/event/"event" night. Now, every night's a mugging night, or at least, nothing exciting because of the sheer amount to do. Yes, it's normal and it's part of life. But it's also sad in some way. Time to move on.
Now, I have to concentrate on quickly getting over my hatred for finance before I graduate with my finance degree. Can't believe I still have 6 more finance modules to go after the 2 terrible ones that I'm taking now. But I guess if you do something for a while, you'll just get used to it. Right? I'm crossing my fingers.
Sigh. NUS and NTU's gonna have study break the coming week. Too bad it doesn't clash with ours. Can't find a nice day to hang out with my dear ij nanaheads on the coming week =(. Guess the next time'll have to be late October.
