Lama x jumpa!

Hey blog,

I've been so *insert vulgarities here* busy that I've no time to think, eat, sleep, etc.

So of course, no time to blog la.

Survived on 4 hours of sleep per day (yeah, DAY... sleep about 4am, wake up at 8am) the past week, another 4 days to go. Before I kiss my exams (and a few As) goodbye.

-__-

But! I've had a tremendously exciting sem, and if my mood lasts till after 10.30am on 25th June, I may just blog about it ;-) Despite the crazy schedule, it was all worth it!

*wait till I get back my results and regret those words*

hahaha. Anyhow, it's been good, busy but good.

Had to turn down a RM1.3k writing job yesterday because of exams... *heartache* My CGPA is worth more than RM1300? I don't know. Yeah it is. :(( 'Twas just a simple few hours job, one page write-up. Worth a lot cause it was last-minute in Johor - any other time and I would have grabbed it. *sigh*

Hope my credit transfer works out! Then next semester will be my final semester :)) Really don't wanna extend a whole 5-6 extra months for a couple of subjects. I'm willing to sacrifice a drop in my current pointer so I need not extend... mmm.... will definitely drop this semester.

I've been messaging my Asia Tenggara lecturers and asking for permission to answer my questions in English. Hahaha. Normally I just answer in Malay but this time around I've been so busy I only have time to read through my notes once and hope it stays inside my brain by the time exams come. I'll desperately need my photographic memory to function well by Tuesday! :-O With so many technical terms and organisations to remember I simply don't have the time to translate all their names into Malay! Haha actually I blame Singapore for my horrendous dip in my translation abilities. One whole sem there without any Malay and I don't feel comfy anymore using it for exams... I did my assignments in BM though. For reasons only I know =P

Ok, I'm babbling.

Anyway yeah so my lecturers are fine with it, I'm the one translating the questions (which are in BM) anyway. :)

Itching to find money! Need to find more writing jobs! Anyone wanna hire me? :P

Few days break after exams then I'll be interning... *excited* Probably changing company though, decided to jump ship after I had a few days to think. The whole sem I didn't have time to think so when I got a place in AMG I never bothered to look anywhere else. Finally decided to work in another company as I've done some articles for the editor there before, so it was a simple matter of messaging him and pleading for a place to intern in. Hahaha. :)

Now, if I really had to time to think and search for a place to intern, where would I go?

I think I'll still end up in the publishing line la cause I'm curious to know the process. Long term I've no intention of working in one, but learning the process itself, now that's interesting. :)

Oh! And I was selected to be a Pembantu Mahasiswa for international students in the next UM intake. Hehe. Due to my 'outbound experience'. Normally I would have automatically rejected such a thing, but when I heard it was for international students I was interested. Would be an interesting and different experience to work with them, not with the nonsense that local students undergo during O-week.

Ok, back to the books notes that I printed from the internet. Haha. Haven't studied from books in a loooong time. Life with books was so much easier, you know exactly what to look out for. Now I just absorb whatever information I can from everything I read and apply it into my essays. Didn't work out for my last essay because I missed out studying on the basis of Malaysia/Indonesia's claims over Pulau Sipadan and Ligitan.. goodbye 20%... :(

I'm babbling again!

Hahaha.

Cya!
