Now What Do I Do With All This Freedom...

Oh my god.

I.Am.Going.To.Explode.

The fact that I now have total (almost) freedom has yet to sink in. After 3 consecutive months of non-stop studying, NOT studying is feeling a bit strange. I have this awful urge to go pick up my Chemistry book and memorize the Reactivity Series. Or something.

You'd think I'd be a lot happier... Although I AM relieved beyond belief, I thought it'd be more EXHILIRATING than this. But heck. I'm not going to complain. I can now read, go online, watch TV go out, read some more.. All without feeling horribly guilty. (Which I was feeling a lot of during the exams :P)

What HAS hit home though, is that today was the last I got to see of most of the peeps I have known for 5 or more years. That's probably one of the reasons - if not THE reason - the "end of hell" isn't exactly thrilling me too much. Ooh nostalgia.

However, I have spent the time after 3.30 p.m. in a decidedly pleasing manner (eh? hehe). BOOK BORROWING!!!! (With a trip to Swensen's thrown in. I love my mum!! :D)

Unfortunately, I was only allowed to borrow five books. FIVE BOOKS. Shouldn't get me through the weekend. Hmph. I don't care. If I don't get any books tomorrow (me, Ju and Xin Yi are heading to MidValley for some post-SPM fun), I am SO buying some at the Pay Less bookstore in Amcorp Mall. And boy do you really pay less! Of course, they're second hand but whaddaheck eh? They're still readable!

Will have to postpone getting my Tolkien collection til next week. Insanely Sane have plans to either go see The Incredibles or catch and MPO performance. Aaaah bliss. Either one would be just as good :D

All righty. I've written WAAAY more than I originally intended (redundant? :P). Although, that IS usually the case with me anyways. Mistress of "not knowing when to stop". That's me!

I'll now go and catch up on some reading. Or maybe I'll watch Bridget Jones. Heck. I can do anything right now and it won't matter!

Boy, does THAT feel weird!

PS: To Shih Chung... S'ok I know you can count :P And DJ... Whoa girl! You've got a lot of patience eh..? Btw.. Thanks for responding, peeps ;)

Good for you, enjoy all you can :) And yes, it's not hedonism.

Wow Shih Chung, you're all over Elaine's blog. Not stalking her are you? :P

Elaine, it's normal... the feeling will sink in, and very soon you'll be enjoying yourself to the fullest. Then, you'll wish Form 6 will come sooner when you've run out of ideas what to do. LOL Enjoy your holidays while it lasts!

Hmm, Ken, I believe you've got more postings here than me *wink*. And besides, she scribbled on my blog first (ok, this sounds really kiddy).
