Study, Study, Study (And Study)

Not Yet

It hasn’t quite hit me that the exams are right at the doorstep. Maybe there is a bit of confidence going into a couple of the papers, which has me taking the foot off the pedal a bit so as not to send myself crashing and burning. I’m sure that by the time next week hits the sense of oh-no-it’s-here will be a bit greater, and I’m also sure that by the end of next week, I’ll be suffering from a stiff left shoulder (I lean on my left when studying on my bed) and a horrendous amount of examination fatigue.

Until then, all looks peaceful. Maybe a bit too peaceful, but I’ll take all the peace I can get.

My papers are on the 24th, 27th, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Postings will probably be affected, but we’ll see what happens.

Inspiration, Desperation

While all this is going on, I’ve been writing tiny bits every day. Mostly it’s been the new project Singapura, which as you already know I’m taking my time with. It’s gone at about a hundred words or so per day ever since when I first said I had started, which I believe was Saturday. (See? That’s why I need a reminder post.) Of course, I haven’t had much time to actually sit down for hours to work at it, so I think a hundred words or so is in fact an extremely positive outcome. And it doesn’t look bad. Not horrible, at least.

In the meantime, there are just some days you think of the old projects (i.e. The River) and you just feel that most of it is trash. Yesterday was such a day. I’m sure the attitude will be different by the time the exams are over and I get back to editing, but it sure looks terrible and amateurish right now. ):

All right, back to work…
