I’m seriously wondering what I’m going to with my self this term. Last term was really busy and I suffered a lot of stress from over studying and playing too much. I didn’t take the time to rest sufficiently. So now I’m wondering weather I should take some time off school and work for 6 months or so. It’d give me the chance to earn some money, replace some things that need replacing, live in a decent room and most importantly free up some time for design and exercise. Of course I’d still study languages on my own. The problem is I kind of need to make the decision this weekend before school starts on Monday.

These are some of the pictures I took during February. There are a fair few pictures to browse through so I labelled the comments below with the picture number. Enjoy.

I was having one of those days today where I was lacking the energy I needed to work well. In listening class today, I was closing my eyes so I could concentrate on listening to the tape but instead my body feel into a state of sleep. I couldn’t wait to get home but now that I am home I don’t want to sleep but just relax with a book or something.
I need to have a good weekend though and rest through Sunday for the week ahead. It’ll be exam preparation week. I guess most people on the language course cram in all the things we learnt in the last 8 weeks in a push to pass exams. It kinda works and sticks to an extent. Of course I could avoid such a week with a steady study plan but life here is too unpredictable to do so, as much as I want too.
