Modules & exams

Sometimes, in this far away land called Finland, it gets really cold. The temperature can get real crazy. Like this morning, when I woke up a little earlier at around 9am, it was a freaking -24degC. I dunno for you, but for me, it freezes the breath out of me.

And yeah, my policy of going to school everyday to (try to) mug in the library makes me have to get out of the house every morning. Luckily the school is not too far away, like maybe 200m away.

Today was another failed attempt at trying to mug, cos I only managed to flick through a few pages. Then I met Jurate (a Lithuanian girl) for gym at the nearby sports hall. The gym there is really quite sucky (my second time there) cos there are not enough machines for my liking and the weights are always too heavy (for ang mohs, so I guess they have to have heavy weights). But I guess that will be the main way I will try to keep fit. If there is another skiing trip which doesn't cost too much, I will try to ski again. Otherwise, skiing's out for the time being.

This semester is a really trying semester for me, cos I need to exercise my self-discipline a lot. Discipline to get out of the bed when it's freezing once I get out of my sleeping bag. Discipline to continue reading the textbook when I stare at the first word and start to want to fall asleep. Discipline to not go to any party when I know others are enjoying themselves.

Well, if all goes according to plan, I will have one less module to worry about after next Friday.

Yes, I have an exam next Friday. ARGH.

P.S.: Ok, I had the choice not to take that exam, but I really just want to try my luck. I am really sorry to make Wei Ling have to take that exam with me as well. I know that it will be tough to try to finish studying for a module that quickly. Let's pray that everything goes well and we pass. Got 2 other exams, 24/3 and 31/3 to conquer. After that, hehehe... I will pass. I have to pass!
