The essence of life as I know it: you work hard, you get what you deserve. All that is true, that is, until you realize that sometimes you just don’t get what you deserve no matter how hard you work. When that clear truth is hitting you straight in the face, pounding at the brain…

Week 3 of New Bonds
Another day, another delayed blog post. Ever since school started, I’ve just been putting it off since I’ve got school most of the time. Then on weekends, I try to do as much as I can to really experience Melbourne fully to the very second. It’s been working out pretty well so far and every…
Ode to MTL
This is my first ever post written on my tiny iPhone using the WordPress app. I really don’t know how people can blog using their phone. The most I’ve ever written using a phone was when I had to take notes for a class using just my iPhone and my handy-dandy Evernote app. It was…
Onward to the distant land
So as many of you may already know, I am going off to Australia for a semester exchange starting July. My body is trembling with excitement and fear and I cannot wait to settle these butterflies once I’m in the new land. I will mostly be busy with school but at the same time, I’ll…
What I’m worried about
So during exam season I read somewhere (probably thought catalog) that if you were to write down all of your worries/troubles before an exam, it will make you feel a whole lot better. BS. Writing down your worries just makes you worry more because now you actually have a set of tangible worries written down…
Exchange & Graduation
I am determined to go on an exchange. I am so determined for this. I don’t care if I’m already in my third year and doing an exchange in my 4th year might defer my graduation. I really don’t care. I think that prolonging my university years might actually be beneficial to me. Why rush…
Bittersweet College Life
As I sit here on this high table with a macbook pro that can be mistaken with any other student’s laptop here, typing furiously away at the screen, not knowing where I’m going with this, I begin to notice some things. Soulless students flipping through pages and pages of notes, a back scratch, a head…
A year in reflection (2012)
So I’ve decided to do a post like this after every birthday to basically summarize a compendium of thoughts, experiences, what have I learned, what have I done, what I probably shouldn’t have done, etc… Like a self-reflection/rants (those things that my mom used to tell me to do when I do something wrong). This…
Late night spiel on exams
Personally I think exams are a waste of time. Maybe this is the sick me talking a week before my giant aptitude test but exams, in my opinion, is a horrible evaluation of a person’s ability to succeed in life. Yes, with great exam marks, you are more prone to get into better graduate schools,…
Boston Bound.
I wish I could pass by this bridge more often, it looks so serene and utterly stunning. The road to was filled with excitement and anxiety, mostly because I had an exam the next day after the trip, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me. I was on a trip to Boston for…
