- Customer: Can I have a 1/9 kilogrammer?
- Girl at front: *blinks twice in amazement* What?
With exams coming up in almost exactly 72 hours, I find myself once again in the situation of cramming a gargantuan amount of Mathematics and Physics when I should have already known it all. So much for the earlier blog posts about motivation and all that.
The reason I’m actually writing a blog post is that I came to a shocking realisation: I love exams, and I love cramming for them. All of a sudden I’m not in a depressing phase of stagnation - I’m in a state of rapid improvement instead. Not only that, but my priorities in life become clear to me once again.
So all in all, I’m just writing here to say that I’m grateful to exams for getting life moving once again, and I’m also thankful to my brain for absorbing and understanding quantities of information in a matter of days that most other people take weeks or months to learn. I’ll destroy these exams and get that Distinction average I was hoping for, I will!

good old maths days.
Picked up some books at the UNSW book fair. $1-2 each, above average condition. Here’s hoping I find time to read them.

Story of my life.
All day every day.
I never learn from my mistakes :(
As previously mentioned, one of the main reasons I’ve started this blog is to instill a sense of shame in myself when I falter on the path to my goals. Yes, I also want to share what I learn so that I may remember these lessons and others may learn should they be willing to take advice from one as young as myself, but for the most part I’m more selfish than that.
For a time, I was going great. Improving every day, focusing on my goals. Then BANG, I ended up in hospital and I forgot all about my goals. I’ll admit that I was a little afraid, even after the stay in hospital that I was nearing an early end. Instead of acting as a fire to push me to do something in the time I believed I had left, I simply spent every weekend playing video games. On Thursday, however, I finally discovered that I had absolutely nothing to worry about. I’m perfectly healthy and my feeble excuse for bludging now no longer exists.
I’m at least three weeks behind in uni. The progress I’d made toward becoming fit is virtually gone. I haven’t even been reading that much anymore. It’s time to fix all that.
We only walk the path of life once. It doesn’t matter if we make some mistakes along the way, that’s in the past, we have only to do our best to ensure the rest of the trip goes smoothly ;).
I haven’t been writing in my blog lately due to lack of time, but if someone happens to visit, watch this short Japanese ad and have a chuckle.
A week’s gone by and I’m finding it hard to get organised. Tomorrow I’m going to do away with my own advice and just put my head down and study, taking notes at random, etc. Really inefficient but necessary until I’m back on track. I’ll worry more about organisation next weekend.
