This year, I've come to realise how less I care for my study. The course I'm doing right now doesn't even interest me. But then again, no other course sounds appealing to me. I'm basically cruising through uni with the mindset that I'll miraculously land a well-paying job that I'll enjoy.
The fact that I barely managed to scrape a pass in some subjects this semester acts as a wake-up call for me. I've never felt so lucky in my life in obtaining a 50 in anything. I should really stop relying on luck and actually change my attitude towards studying. It doesn't help that I skip so many lectures either. It's a bad habit.
I keep telling myself I'll change but change is hard.

Nostalgia
I love board games. With all this technology around in today's time, finding an old board game is equivalent to striking a gold mine. I took them for granted when I was younger. Now that I'm older and know how to play by the rules, I find them more stimulating and worth my time. I had a game night the other night and we played Monopoly. Monopoly was never my favourite game mainly because I felt it took too long, had complicated rules and buying houses and hotels seemed boring. Now that I understand it (though I still play mindlessly), I've come to enjoy it. Also, this was the first time I've finished and won a game. It was a proud moment.
Tonight, I played Scrabble and Chinese Checkers. I thought these two games could be played with no strategy and brain power but I totally underestimated them. You never know the true potential of your vocabulary until you're forced to use it in Scrabble.
But yeah, let's organise another game night some time!

Days to Remember
I actually planned on starting this blog as soon as my finals were over but adventures took over and I had no time until now. I'll probably take this post to highlight some of the more memorable moments of the time between my finals and now.
My birthday. I don't consider turning 19 a milestone but since it basically leaves me with one year to adulthood, it's something. I spent the day before my birthday out for dinner with friends and then made a little trip to our typical karaoke spot. While there, Kenny made a rather interesting song choice to dedicate. I'll just omit the song name in case the imagery of it happening makes you feel violated. On the actual day of my birthday, I went on a small roadtrip with Kenny to Shelley Beach (next to Cronulla) and because of the rain, we were forced to have our picnic in the car which made it more intimate.. I guess, so thank you rain!
Stereosonic 2013. This was probably the best two days of the year for me. It was an amazing experience and way better than I imagined it would be. I never knew I had the energy in me to dance (more like spastically move around) continuously for 5 hours. Definitely going again next year.

A New Beginning
Hi!
After numerous attempts to keep my previous blogs alive, I gave up and decided to start what must be my third or fourth blog. I have a love-hate relationship with blogging. It's time consuming, it gets me raking my mind endlessly AND it's difficult to keep for more than 3 months but despite everything, it's a place where I can dump everything I've ever wanted to say and look back at it years later to either cry in embarrassment or be thankful that the past me kept these posts. I'm predicting some posts will contain recounts of my daily events, random thoughts, feelings and other knick knacks.
Here's to hoping my relationship with this blog lasts for more than 3 months!
