Dedicated to my fellow uni friends

Well, this week and coming ones are hell weeks for us ~~ uni students~~ as we’re having exams. Worse still, our Stuvac (study vacation) was barely given, we’re blessed by the “weekend holidays”, so we could buy time and prepare for the exam. Not enough with the torture, the uni shortens the exam duration, from 3 hours to 2 hours (on mostly every subject– need to clarify it, since I’m just generalising). Also, it seems like uni participates to the Racecourse event coz it rushes to touch the finishing line of the exam period (they said, they need to finish it ASAP due to The Racecourse event… Well, for non-UNSW students, our exams mostly are held at Randwick Racecourse). Seems like uni should invest more money on building versatile halls/rooms, so we could use it for both lectures and exams — rather than building new colleges (students dorms) for earning more bucks.

You could expect some UNSW students would:

Cram the library and study until all the blood in the head stops flowing.

And for poor peeps, some of them may experience nosebleed ~~ perhaps they have very thin blood vessel around the nose, and the stress exaggerates it.

Some may have insomnia ~~~ Can’t sleeeeeeeeppp!

Some may have no energy to even “survive”

And some may wear Stress Cap

And most likely, most would feel like their heads are spinning ~~~

BUT … let’s hang in there!!!!

Let’s all not despair ~~~ all the tortures would lead us to:

GRADUATION!!!! Let’s work hard now, and it all will be paid off later on! 🙂 All the best, all!

Leaping through a Hurdle

Well, I’m boringly waiting for my file transfer (from my computer to my external hard drive) to finish. It takes ageeeeeesss… *sigh* Thanks to the USB port of my external HD. So, to keep me away from daydreaming, I decide to write this entry.

Life is sometimes full of hurdles or problems. But what is problem or obstacle? Obstacles or problems are again depend on how you perceive or see it. Do you see it as half-full or half-empty? So, sometimes when you think it’s a problem, but if you switch your thought, it may be an opportunity!

However most of us are afraid of failing, that is why we sometimes run away from the issues we are facing. Same thing with procrastination — we keep procrastinating because we are too afraid to do things wrongly, or to get the result below our expectations.

Expectations — we to some extent have them, almost in every part of our lives — study, work, relationships, family, etc. The expectation sometimes is the benchmark of our success. If we pass the expectation then we would feel happy. But attachment deludes itself as an expectation. Attachment follows expectation like the shadow that follows us wherever we go. Since expectations may be unrealistic and inflexible, some of us may fall into the trap of suffering. By letting go of the expectation then we would feel more happy and free!

Expectation is not the bad guy — we can use it as our motivation, not one that can put burden on our shoulder. Expectation again is very subjective, and what you see may not be the same as what others see. However once we have started our engine in our way to reach the island of expectation, we should be able to slowly turn the expectation to hope, one that has least expectation, so we won’t be too attached to the idea of how the result would turn out to.

I hope my rumbling makes sense… hope you guys get it….. 😛

Btw, this week is the Orientation Week at UNSW ~~~ So Sydney-siders, come to UNSW and visit UNIBUDS Stall 😀
