It's been a long time!

Wow, I know it's been a really long time since my last blogpost. I've just been so occupied with assignments and all that I really haven't even had the time to come online. But it's getting better. This is the last week of lectures, and next week will be the study break before the final exams.

It's funny how time passes so fast. It seems like only yesterday that I took my first step into university, and in a blink of an eye my third year is coming to an end. I won't be having any holidays after the exams though. I'll be having my Teaching Practice (more affectionately referred to as TP) for 9 weeks, lasting from the first week of May till... however long 9 weeks is. Am I looking forward to it? Not really. The worst news I've heard so far is that we teacher trainees will be expected to go to the schools during the school holidays and work from 8 to 5. And the school I'll be going to is right smack in the middle of town, so you can see that I'm not really looking forward to facing the early morning and afternoon traffic rush. Why do they call it a traffic rush, when you can't even move a bit? Interesting.

But I've been doing a lot of reading. I've finished the first 4 books in Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series, and on Saturday I finished reading Burnett's A Little Princess. This morning I finished Little Lord Fauntleroy (also by Burnett) in class, and this afternoon I started reading Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House On The Prairie. Yeah, I guess you can say I'm really catching up on my reading.

I also managed to catch a 27 Dresses last Friday with three friends. First we had dinner at Richmond, where I had delicious black pepper lamb. After the movie, we hung out at Bing's and of course I had my usual White Summer.

I've still got about 2 assignments to go before I can relax. But then again, I can't really relax until after the exams, and even then I still have to face the pressures of TP. Argh. But on the brighter side, it'll make for some interesting blogposts. And that's if I can even find the time.

Cheers you all. Let's hope I blog more regularly after this.

P.S. If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you'll see that I've included the Tower Blaster game. So now you guys can come to my blog to read and play games, heehee! End of P.S.
