exam updates.

why are my blog posts separated by such long, unnecessary breaks? :/

driving test tomorrow, and due to my ultimate powers of procrastination, laziness and sloth-iness, i still have 78 pages of the manual to read and mug. =___=

and of course, i am here, blogging, even with an impending driving theory exam in less than 24 hours time. not because i can totally expect to finish everything within the next hour, but because the manual is so dry and effing BORING that i can't read it for an hour straight without falling asleep halfway. brilliant attention span and focusing skills, nic.

also.
this thursday, i.e. 3 days from now, is my grade 8 piano exam. i'm feeling a tad bit unprepared and worried about it, especially since the bloody exam cost me (i mean, my parents ^^") $357. GOOD GOSH. when i was taking grade 3, grade 8 cost only $180.
blaming this raise in price on inflation would be seriously overdoing and exaggerating it. it's not as if everything costs us twice as much now as it did back then. sheesh.

so these past few weeks have been relatively...dull. mugging for driving, practising like crazy for piano... i actually strained my arm muscles from practising this technique for too long. o__o
NIC YOU'RE BECOMING WEEEAK.
(not like you were strong to begin with but...)

i miss dance training. i miss feeling fit. now i feel like a flubbering mound of SquishyStuff. i can't wait to move into Eusoff hall! the whole prospect of living on my own, living 10 minutes away from school, being able to do whatever i plan/want within weekdays is just so encouraging. /random shout of joy

on a side note, i've been accepted into LPP Korean. :)
i was looking forward to studying Jap in uni, but:
1) there's no Jap LPP. :C
2) NUS Jap student exchanges are totally irrelevant to me, as the universities we're tied with are mostly science/research/engineering universities. yes, a Game Designer-wannabe has much use for Biomedical research exchange program in [insert renowned top Science University in Japan]

so, Korean it is. an extra 8 hours of lesson a week, i think, which at first glance seems crazy, but after brief comparison with Pharm and Med students, it should be manageable.
(wth Pharm students have lessons 8am-6pm every day @__@)

school's starting soon, but while i'm excited and eager and everthing (alliteration!), i'm worried about my modules. as i'm planning to major in Game Design under Communication and New Media, i want (and need) to take Game Design modules. duh. but i have to compete with i-dunno-how-many people who wish to take Game Design as an ELECTIVE. for leisure. not. for. career. purposes. which is interesting, i guess, since Game Design is fascinating. however, it's bad news for me.

because of such a high demand for Game Design, i have to put up a ridiculous number of credit points for bidding. 700-800 points on average! and we only get 1000 points a semester. =__=
*seethes*
i'm supposed to squeeze my 200 remaining points for the rest of my modules for the semester...? D:
*fumes*
MEARGHHHHH.
*rage*

well. since there are people who have majored in Game Design before, there should be a solution for me. i guess.

i hope i can pass the auditions for NUS Blast! and Eusoff's annual dance production thingamajiggy. :)

i heard that staying in a hall means you'll make a lot of new friends and stuff. well, i certainly hope so. i haven't been going for any camps. the first FASS camp is a small one, with only about 300 places available. seeing that there's 1700+ ppl in FASS, i guess i wasn't the only one who missed out on this. ;)

the Comm and New Media camp is this weds to fri, but unfortunately, as i have mentioned before, my piano exam falls on thurs--the day right in between. weds is reserved for intensive (last minute) practising and mugging. i'm not sure if there's much of a point of me joining the camp on thurs afternoon/fri morning when they're breaking camp on friday. :/

the Varsity Christian Fellowship camp is on next monday to thursday. i can make it for this one, but my mum is a little uncomfortable about the camp being so...long. (is 4 days considered very long?) and it's at Camp Christine. which i'm...a little turned off by. :x

so the only remaining social activity that's left for me is FASS Orientation week, WHICH I AM DEFINITELY GOING FOR.
i've missed out on too much already. :c i can't afford to miss out on any more. T_T

sigh. Lex is right. sometimes i worry too much.
