ONE SEM OF LAW SCHOOL IS OVER :D
The exams are finally over too! (though results come out on the 22nd! I hope the shopping in Shenzhen is so good that I forget to go and check my results till I get back. While I'm quite happy with what I did for the exams this time (though alright, it still could have been so much better) I think what I actually did in the exam hall itself didn't really do myself justice--which is stupid, but I can't help that now, so I'll just enjoy myself this hol and go back ready to work next sem! eep.)
One week of the hol has passed already, and it's been great so far :) Phuket with Jess, Darius and Alvin, and Synergy camp! I am so so so happy right now. It is such bliss being able to just lie on my bed and read Feynman because I can :D And go shopping! Need to start christmas shopping soon.
Horribly written phuket log below, just to jog my memory for next time. Sorry it's all in caps. T'was done at about midnight on 8 dec cos I was afraid I'd forget everything when I got back from Synergy camp heh, and my eyes were half closed then, so I needed the capitals so the font would be bigger haha.

-end phuket-
Synergy camp was good too, on the whole. I especially loved the ballet masterclass, Ryan's class and Albert Tiong's (!) class. Dancing again after exam break feels really good. Or maybe I shouldn't say that. I'm aching so much now when I sit down onthe floor I sound like an old woman. Haha. But yeah, it's a good sort of ache. Met more people/danced with new people/ got to know a few more people better too. I am especially thankful for people like Joanne, Shantini and Carol. If there were times in the camp when I was secretly fed up and annoyed, their infinite patience was just inspiring. I have a lot of respect for the current exco too, I think they're a great bunch of people. Sure there were days when we got scolded but we deserved it, and like I told Jessie, when you get angry, most of the time, it's cos you really care about something or someone. So yes. Oh and we had a night court like- initiation night too. This time I caught on a lot faster! HAHAHAHA. Beach games at Sentosa on the last day which was perhaps the most fun part of the whole camp heh. On the first night of camp, I slept at 3am and woke up before 7 for breakfast, on the second day we slept at 4am and on the last day I slept at 6am. Zomg, so now I'm a little zonked, but who cares. This is what holidays are for :)
I have my much-awaited sleepover (rooftop stargazing!), lenka's concert, a wedding dinner, shopping + court cases and of course, Grey's Anatomy to look forward to before flying to HK on Sunday!
I am oozing happiness right now. And am only half-expecting an anvil to come and crush my happy bubble. |
