two down, three to go

A sampling from a conversation that went on today:

Person A: I've had four papers already.
Person B: Me too.
moi: Me two...

Had only the second of five papers today. Had a bit of last minute jitters, but ultimately by God's grace the whole thing went fine, even though initially i was a little thrown off upon looking at the paper thanks to the unconventional nature of the questions (it was my first-ever history open book paper and i had been too lazy to see samplings of potential questions from previous exams set by the same lecturer). At the end of the day i am very happy that i took this module, along with the other two history modules this sem. Much more interesting and fulfilling than the Singapore-dominated stuff that i did last sem.

Am quite amazed at how the Lord has kept me rather calm in the face of this current round of exams. It's not bochap-ness, but rather just a sense of peace that i don't need to obsess over the whole thing. I do my part as He leads and empowers and He will see me through. =)

One tiny issue though, i realise that it is rather impossible for me to carry on studying for the next paper once the previous one has ended. Today after my paper ended at three i proceeded to stone at the canteen for one hour. Then i figured that i was wasting my time so decided to go for a quick deprogramming (from recently concluded module) swim while the weather held (beautiful weather over the past few days, btw... it reminds me of San Francisco in summer with added humidity, or closer to home, Cameron Highlands...). (side note: need to exercise, cos the result of all that added eating over the past few weeks or so is beginning to show... getting fat) Anyways after swim ,went back to canteen only to more or less just stone all the way till i went back at eight. Since i've arrived home, guess what? More stoning...

Am suddenly in the mood to listen to Chinese songs after all the reminiscing over the past few days.

Two and a half days to prepare for the killer el2101...
