My exams ended last thurs n i had the luxury of enjoying the long weekend unlike some of my counterparts who still hav papers this week. But the long weekend was not how i imagined it to be.
Since it was aft my exams, i fantasized that it was gonna be full of lively activities, meeting up w my mamachakududs, catching up w d love, going into town juz to remind myself there's a world out there(i've been stuck at home thruout my exam period, u c).
Swimming was cancelled cos i was havin a cold n it was rainin dat thurs aftnoon. Friday was spent at home researching on my europe destinations n in d evening was the first Germany peeps meeting juz to sorta kekenal w each other n discuss travel plans. It was quite late wen my parents decided to visit my grandad. Apparently he's getting worse...
Saturday i thought i cld spend w him, but d flight fiasco made us spend 4 hours at d travel agent's. 6 of us were der tryin our best to get d best flight but thanks to d world cup, many flights were fully booked during the period we wanna fly home. Ended up changing airlines altogether. So we're now flying emirates. Finally getting our flight itinerary in my hands, juz got me so excited to go. So we're flying off 19may at 3am to frankfurt n returning fr paris on 21st july. Whoop! I cld hav met up w d mamasitas dat evening if i didnt hav tuition,urgh!
Sunday morning, went jogging w bur. My legs hav forgotten how to run, couldnt cover my usual distance(or juz too malas). I'm really startin to prefer swimming to running, haiz... Oh n on d swimming front, according to my coach, i'm definitely much better now, altho i'll hav to start swimming away fr d edge of d pool. My water confidence still needs work. Anyway, i spent d rest of a good sunday at home semi-reading a book, semi-watching tv and semi-sleeping on the couch. Pathetic. So much for lively activities during the weekend.
I was awaken early on monday morn by my parents. We had to go pick up my aunt n go visit my granddad, some urgent things. So spent d whole morn n early noon at my aunts plc where my granddad was staying for now. My cousins n families came n it felt like hari raya. Spent d rest of d day w my parents aft dat, grocery-shopping n ceramah-listening at clementi stadium. It was a good monday.
I'm currently trying to make a list of d things i hav to bring to germany. Its driving me crazy. 2 months. I havent been away fr home dat long n i'm worried i might forget to bring stuff. Its not as if Stuttgart is near enuf for me to juz trot off home to fetch watever i left behind. N i'm wondering if all my stuff will fit into one huge backpack.
Not only do i hav to worry abt my preparations, i still hav to worry abt my FYP, or lack thereof. The supervisor i want is no longer on the list. N those 2nd,3rd n plus plus choice supervisors have mostly allocated their projects. I might end up w a sucky supervisor w a sucky project for d whole of my final year!
N i'm worried abt exam result release date n subject registration date. I dont wanna hav to make someone else do subject registration 4 me again, but it might b inevitable.
I havent purchased d europass, insurance. Havent contact my host family, havent research for hostels for our backpacking trip. Havent buy supplies. I'm really worried abt my fyp!!!! Havent met my chakududs!
Today is 2nd of may, 16 days to go, to worry, to think, to research, to book, to purchase, to register, to catch up. If i wasnt stressed during my exams, i'm stressed now.
