Okay, I'm going to state a "DUH" statement... IT'S 2 MORE MONTHS TO DECEMBER!
Did the year just sped pass me or what! Damnit. I always come to a point in time, somewhere towards the third quarter of the year, where I panic about how the year is ending as if the WORLD itself is ending along with it. I guess it is. I'm ageing by another year. Another pretty young thing turns 16, 21... It is here I let a loud heavy sigh.
Anyway. I am already 9 weeks into my college life. And, I would say my study here has been fruitful so far. This college implements a lot of self-studying. A good thing for me because I study best at my own pace and interest.
A little fun fact: according to the course outline, I am suppose to be clocking in a good 190hours per module per semester. This would total up to a good 570hours of self study time in one semester. Thus, making self study time each semester a mean average of 142.5hours, a weekly average of 35.625hours and a daily average of 5.08928571hours. Let me just say "College life is such a blast!". Just can't help but witness extreme ends of the rainbow - the really good to the really lousy.
Another plus one on my achievement boards: I have got half the number of assignments done! And, of couse, I've got another half more to conquer before this semester ends and I'll break for the holidays. Woot woot! Which, I hope, I can buy myself a trip back out to Sydney or perhaps Melbourne for the New Year. This spells some diligent saving plan; less buying; less pampering; and only getting my essentials. Yes, that is right: No more, internet shopping. My purse strings are going to be dead tight.
So much to conquer. So little time.
Whatever it is. Making full use of time is key - work hard, play hard. Stop dwelling in the past and the "can't do"s. Instead, embrace the present and look forward to the future.
ONWARD, MY FRIENDS!
