Things I Did Not Expect Myself To Do 2

It's the final week and all my assignment need to be submitted this coming week. T.T

But I guess everything is still quite ok as I only need to focus on my designing assignment for the week. In fact, I don't know what I want to blog about but it needs to be filled up, haha. 

I've been quite stressed with my results and work for these couple of weeks and one main reason is because I think I have pretty bad time management this semester. And also, there are so many things to learn in such a short time, my brain can't absorb all of them. I've also been so careless in my work (tsk, super duper careless calculations) and other stuffs (like almost losing stuffs, forget this, forget that) I'm beginning to feel sooo bad of myself. Myself, y u so unorganised?! 

But then the positive me is trying to balance out everything. I'll just need to improve on my time management for future semesters (will never leave work till the last minute again!) and make sure I'm more organised. 

Other than that, life is still good. 

And so, this is the things I do not expect myself to do part 2:

Going for performance

Because my friends are in choir and they invited us for ochestra performance, so I get to go for the first time. It's not my type of music but I think it's a really great learning experience! : D Thanks again, Quek Ying and Ian! Melbourne Town Hall is also really pretty with the architecture. After going, I think that..... ok la, I don't really have any thoughts of it. It's not something that I will get obsessed with but I don't mind going it again (only if the ticket is incredibly cheap or even better, free). 

Heh, it's so naise. I don't know if it's just me or what, but everytime when I'm in an old building I can't help but think what it felt like when people in the past used the place, how they interact with the place, how their lives revolved around that place and it makes me really really want to travel back through time to see. 

Going to a really ulu place for assignment

One thing really fun and exciting about taking this course is that I get to travel around for my assignments. My groupmates and I went to this really ulu place for our assignment. We had to do soil tests, observations of landscape etc and omg, I feel like an aspiring geologist! But haha, in fact, I didn't really know what I was doing, I was pretty blur on what was happening. That place is quite far from the city, the most isolated place I've ever been to, with no people or whatsoever. It's a little scary cos the park also doesn't have much signboards and only trees, grasses and a few kangaroos can be seen. And also, we had to depend on a map that doesn't really show much information to walk around the big park. But then I'm finally back in one piece, yay! It's still quite fun and exciting, going to somewhere I don't know. 

Cute kangaroos moving around the place! And it's really cute how when they saw us, they didn't move and just kept staring at us. Had a staring competition with one them. I lost. 

Not sleeping the entire night

People used to tell me that this is like a must for all archi student. Couldn't agree more. So it's not really under my list of unexpected things, haha. I've already expected it. It's really funny how some friends who really care about me think that it's a really tiring and stressful thing to do it. But in fact, before I chose this course, I was already prepared for the consequences that I'm going through. Or else, I wouldn't have chosen it. I am aware of things that I have to give up and in fact, I give them up willingly and happily. It's part of our life to rush for assignments, I'm learning to cope with it. Maybe I just need better time management and try not to let stress of assignments to get in my way of life. Stress is something that I'm going to live with for pretty much the few decades of my life and there's no way I can avoid them. So then, I think I'm just going to live my way through it, as long as I learn to control temper, frustrations and all the negative feelings. Go, power of being positive! 

And I think these are the only things I could think of right now. Couldn't think of anymore stuffs and if I do, I'll just do it in the next post. Gotta rush my assignments, so goodbye! :)
