Alhamdulillah first term is OVER :D gembira rasanya..Now its time for a bit of reflection as to what happened & what I did:
a) My first term as the International Soc Co-chair :D very stressful coz have to pikirkan pasal funding, events n like how to get this & that..apatah lagi if mcm not everyone is willing to help out.
I'm hoping Insyallah more plans can be materialised next term,the most important thing i have to belajar is STUDIES COMES FIRST..and that a good leader delegate their workload..that's the point of having a committee in the first place.
b) Living in a proper home now kinda teaches me that kesabaran itu penting disamping being considerate jua arh other ppl. mesti pandai berjimat cermat esp. when it comes to electricity.
c) I'm closer to my friends on my course now than last year..i guess its nothing unusual..but yea, i'm glad we still are. my seminar groups this term were less happening like last time but its okay, as long as i have ppl that i know of in it, i'm cool :)
d) I didn't go anywhere this term- NOT even London-- NOT ONCE :) Achievement tu for me..I just went to Plymouth like once.
e) What I don't like about this term is that I jarang contact with kengkawan dari Brunei..its really really bad and i feel awful for not being in contact :( I'm hoping to catch up with everyone over xmas break & hopefully it would be just like ol' times..I CANT WAIT TO SEE DURANGGGG :D
f) LIFE GOES ON. -- I learned that the hard way but yes, it does goes on..despite all the things that happend to me, I shouldn't pause too long..
We had a christmas dinner before Anna (my other housemate) balik ke Poland for the xmas break, it was great..Anna invited kengkwannya from Poland,Finland etc over..I didn't stick too long downstairs coz kan i got essay due the next morning n i haven't siapkan it eeeks so like i stayed for dinner & having conversations with lots more unexpected guests, then off to my room..i didn't sleep til 4 am then wake up at 6 am to do more editing..my last week 2 weeks were fair to say, so hectic and crazyyyyyyy....
I had my presentation- about how the concept of a separate Male and Female Gothic helps us to contextualise our understanding of Matthew Lewis's The Monk..:D we all had to do presentations once in our seminar group and I chose to do this because I LOVE GOTHIC LITERATURE :) I did an essay about Female Gothic in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein & Du Maurier's Rebecca last year and i scored my highest mark yet :)
Anyways I prepared a lot for it tapinya kan i got essay due in the same week, so i had to do some last-min tweaking for it..it didn't start out right coz the whole process of setting-up my laptop took time ( much to the ire of my seminar leader) but then when i started it, i received a number of agreeing nods from her so i think i did well..*mudah2an tah jua*..
Then off to the 2nd essay, due the next monday..it was crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..i seriously felt like giving up sebabnya i also got another presentation due then..*TOINGGGGG* But Alhamdulillah, walaupun i babbled a little during my last presentation, it seems to be okay. I seriously don't care by then..i was like 'okay, lets get this over & done with'..
My last seminar took place from 10.30-12.30 on the 18th dec-- I felt kinda sad when my seminar leader said we are half-way through our 2nd year and thru our degree. walaupun when you think about it, its not really accurate to say that but you get what i mean..Its so surreal that i'm in my second year of Uni udah, that soon enough Insyallah, i will graduate then work for a living..
It would also mean leaving the 'life' i kinda set for myself over here & back to reality( not that reality is any harsh, i actually miss reality)..not being able to go to Rowe's for a cheese & onion pasty when i felt like it, not being able to walk to the beach when the sun's out, not being able to complain on how cold and wet the UK is..hmm most importantly, not being able to see the friends i made here so easily anymore..
I think for now..its best for me to not think about that now..I need to enjoy whatever time i have now to do those things that i will miss. Hmm..I really want to do myself justice with my studies..I seriously would like to get more 2:1 or even 1 class essay..i been getting lots of 2:2 and one 2:1 which really frustrates me..
Insyallah tahun hadapan, i will show myself that i'm capable of writing essays and arguments that I can be proud of :)
Oh oh i got myself a nintendo dsi :) FINALLY..I always wanted eithr ds or psp but Alhamdulillah this time around, kana bagi green light by my parent so i bought a second-hand one off ebay..its cheaper than d Brunei jua so yes thats my treat for myself ..i hope i don't spend too much on my Holland trip & then London & Portsmouth and yes, BRISTOL :D Zee, you were and still are the only one yg sanggup visited me jauh di Cornwall, so i'm paying you a visit in return and because DUHHH I MISS YOU LOTS.
Bah panjang nieee..hehehe Insyallah updates for my trip in 3 weeks time? :)
Happy New Year 2010 and i don't think its too late to say, SELAMAT TAHUN BARU HIJRAH 1431 :)
