oh wow. time just flies when u are really making full use of it. what's the definition of 'full use' here? is it 'working', or 'having fun' ? definition just varies from each individual. like myself for instance, there's no better way to explain this. 'work' is what i am faced with everyday. apart from the 8 hours of sleep, 2 hours of meals and other stuff, i spend 14 hours doing school work. god! it's hell on earth u know what i mean? even though i've dropped one paper lately (and thank god i dropped it), there's still a lot of work to do. i must admit that i'm an alien here in the kiwi land. everything starts from zero knowledge. the education system is totally different. it still takes a bit of time to get used to it. excuses, excuses, excuses.... but this is a fact! it's not that i didn't have a good base back in uk, it's just things taught here were not covered back in uk. what's the system here? are they uk-based? us-based? no they're not! they're kiwi-based! i'm bloody lost sometimes, it's just that extra effort needs to be put in so that i could get up there to be at the same level as the students here. it's an escalating task, but hell no i ain't gonna quit this. life is so short ... you always want to do everything at once, but hey u're only a human. take it nice and slowly, the outcome will be better. i always wanted to do web publishing, graphic design, learn more languages, try new things, but things just don't work out as planned. maybe that's life eh? ....
