Oh god, it’s been ages, hasn’t it...
To be fair, I was too lazy to care about this blog considering my exams ended. I had a rather unproductive summer, and really just stayed home for most of it. I went out a lot when I had to start preparing for my final year, met up with friends, apply for my visa, etc.
Well, I’m in the UK! For my final year. Phew, I’m a third year student already. I really cannot believe how much time have passed by. The idea of uni used to be so daunting and now I’m about to finish? Crazy.
I just started classes today, with my first module in genetics. We also had a session (on our first day, no less) about out final year projects that will start in January. It’s exciting, but I’m also very very worried. I realise I worry a lot. This is not a good trait, by the way. Anyway, I’m hoping, hoping, that I will do better this year (hah! I have no other choice anyway) and that I will procrastinate less (not looking good, mind you). Again, I worry. Can’t do much about it.
UK has been...okay, I guess. The weather is really unpredictable. It’s super cold right now, and I can’t imagine how I’d be during the winter. Coming from a humid country, I’m amazed by the locals wearing shorts and t-shirts when the temperature is 15-20 degrees. But on days when the sun is out and the wind isn’t so strong, ahhh I love it. I’m walking way more than I usually do back home, simply because I won’t sweat much here (and a lot cheaper!). If I walked even five minutes at home, I’d be sweating buckets. I also keep on forgetting that time zones exist, and it makes me so confused when my family is chatting in our family chat. I also can’t keep track of Kpop stuff because of it, and I’ve been missing new songs and releases already. Other than that, I’m eating well (too well), sleeping well (ugh I really need to fix my sleep schedule), and I’m looking forward to the year!
A lot of other unis should be starting around this time too, right? Good luck to all of you, may the year be kind, and may we all stop procrastinating (especially me).
song rec: Seventeen - Fear
This song is amazing. The choreo is amazing. Seventeen’s performances have always been top tier, but this time around, I admit, they blew me away. Check them out!
