I suppose it's sort of obligatory of me to update this blog of what has happened during the time that I was gone. I'm not going to account for everything, just the highlights. Basically, the last time I blogged is the start of my semestral holidays. Those holidays came and went. I did the usual lounging around the house, doing things that I want to do.
Also, I get to spend some time with my friends, we had a sleepover– though it was fun but it was really sleep deprived, junk food fuelled, watching Ja'ime and Camp Takota, taking group pictures in the middle of the night, and of course just talking about things. While all these were happening, we were melting in the heat. Not fun. But we did have a good time. We did panic at one point at around 4+ am because we intended to order McDonalds for breakfast and we're supposed to ask them to deliver it at around 10am. Due to sleep deprivation and 4am brain, we forgot to check that option and they said they're going to deliver it at 5+am. We panicked and immediately called McDonalds to rectify the problem. Thankfully, the person who was on the phone was super nice, she told us that it could be done and the problem was solved. Huzzah!!
When I heard that The 1975 is coming to Singapore for a concert (16 DAYS!!), I was freaking out because it's so rare for a band that I really like to come to Singapore. And I sort of have the money to buy the tickets. So I'm going with my friends and I hope that I have an amazing time there.
So, two of my friends and I took on a job as a site surveyor where I literally sit at a bus-stop and see any vehicles that are not buses going into the bus lane. It was so boring. SO BORING. And I had to wear a fluorescent yellow vest while I'm on the job, which made me look like I'm some delinquent doing community service. Of course people who passed by or at the bus stop stared at me and what was I doing, some actually asked me what I was doing, some tourist asked me for directions– I felt like I'm some attraction. But it was not too bad– it could be much worse like *cough* retail *cough*. After all, the supervisors just checked with us like once in a while and we're free to do whatever as long as our attention is on the job. So, my friends and I listened to music while on the job– we were so used to the job to the point that I could finish a book (this is Cress by Marissa Meyer– an amazing book) while on the job.
Like I said, those holidays came and went, then I was back for the second year of my poly life. Woo. I realised that year one was much more fun compared to this year. Firstly, most modules bore me but thankfully, I had some pretty chill and awesome lecturers. Term 1 was brutal because I did not expect that things would get this difficult, despite warnings from seniors.
Now I do truly believe that if you survive your second year in poly, you're good. I'm not the only one who is facing this difficulty in year 2, my friends who are in other courses are also swamped with work.
Never in my life I stayed up till 5 in the morning to complete an essay. Till this year. And I realised that adrenaline is really useful when you're sick and had to finish an essay about consumer psychology that I paid 0% attention of during class and had to rely on reading the textbook and materials that were given out. Also, do not, take a two shot espresso hazelnut latte when you're already on adrenaline because if you're like me, you become hyperaware of everything and this leads to anxiety which leads me to become a little twitchy and awkward.
And all these work makes it hard for us to meet up, we could only meet up during the term break which was 3 weeks ago. I managed to meet them for some movies (Maleficient, How To Train Your Dragon 2, The Fault in Our Stars, 22 Jump Street) and dinner, which is good. However, during the recent break, I was swamped with work and during that 3 weeks, I was busy. I had to do something every day, I didn't really get to lounge around that much. However, I got to catch up with some of my shows and reading.
Now, I'm back in school, I'm awaiting for some of my results of the assignments that I did. I don't expect to get high marks for GenEd CA1 because I did it with only two hours of sleep, sick, anxiety is acting up. I'm prepared for the worst for my consumer psychology essay since the lecturer told us 4 times that we did badly. So which means, I have to study really hard for my test coming up next Monday evening or I'm royally screwed for that module. This coming week is pretty hectic because I have to conduct interviews for my mass media research report where I have to write it in a journal-like way and I have to study. BRILLIANT.
Till later,
Gloria
