Let's Ride.....

First ride of University is nearly over , last exam on friday.......
Now all I do is wait for the next ride to come along in September and the following two which will occur after the next. To be honest I am not lookng forward to it, Education seems to be getting rather boring and I am finding it a bit dry.......
Let's hope, fingers crossed that I will pass every exam that I have sat.
Had Business Applications today, hopefully it went okay but then I cannot be sure as I do not know whether the information I put down was correct, or if I have related the case study in context of the Question. Ah... so many question and the answer is lurking in a couple months time. It can be nerve racking and scary but on the other side a great relieve to know what you got. However, there is no point worrying about them now, What done is done.
There is something I do not like about the ending of a year in University, friends will start moving away, going back home far from the UK and god knows when I will see them again. It is quite sad. But I am priveleged to have met them and have them by my side as a friend. I will miss you and I will remember them because they came along and they changed me in the person that I am.

Another special thing happened to me today, they day Wednesday 26th May 2010, I spoke to a dear friend that I have not had contact with for a while now. She moved back to Hong Kong around 3/4 years ago and she has just graduated from Nursing Degree, I am very happy for her. She has also told me that she is planning a wedding which will take place around 2012. It is very happy news. I am very happy for her.
What is special is that we have a strong friendship bond between us even though we have not seen each other for a few years now. It is hard to replace a friendship bond but it is really easy to make - We have known eachother for 7 years now and WOW does time fly. It does not seem to have been 7 years now and I think it is pretty amazing that you can know one person for so long and not even realise that you have known them for so long. I miss her quite a bit but I guess we both have to live our life walk our way.
I remember the first time we met. Her englsih was not really good and she asked me 'Do you speak cantonese' and in reply as I did not understand her very well I said 'NO'......That will always be the most memorable picture for me and I will never forget that day.

I have decided that in two years time we get to have work experience. You can go anywhere you want and I will try to land a placement in Hong Kong.

There is one thing I fear the most though, is that at the end of University life what will happen?. Where would I go or be? .... I noted to myself that I will not stay in the UK for my career and will move abroad whether to Hong Kong, Canada or somewhere which is not UK. So, from this I guess the worst fear that I will be facing is saying Goodbye, but I have a few years left so let's finishing riding them first. Agreed!

The Time of The Year...

I thought I give a update since I have not been on for a while,
It is the Time of EXAMS, lethal and stressing as they can be it can be rather difficult for me to concentrate on my revision as it get incredibly boring.
I, so far Have sat 2 exams.
One , Understanding Finacial Information - Messed it up a bit by answering more questions then require therefore wasting most of my time.
Second, My mandarin listening test. I know I got one answer wrong but I have passed.
The other five exams that I have have been clumped into next week starting on the monday. I am not grateful nor am I happy about this but I guess getting it over and done with is much better then having the burden pulling down on your shoulders.

So, I have revised each module fairly not fully, but fairly. I have a feeling that I may  not have covered everything but revision gets so dry and boring, it just wanders my mind to another place and I end up on Facebook or just freely serving the net.
Yes, I find it really difficult to concentrate and I know that in a space of four hours 8 pages of work is not really much but Hey I tried right?
I also need to have background sound when I'm revising, even if I'm reading, have some music or a movie in the background actually helps me concentrate a lil' more then silence. Teachers and Lectureres always say, that does not help it slows your productivity down. It does slow me down but at least I get somewhere.
I have to be honest, I manage to pass everything and I guess that is all that matters. As long as at the end of my University Education I can get a decent job then it is Fine. Sometimes the job is not even based on your grade, whether you get a 1st, 2.1 or even a 3rd. Majority of the time it is based on skill, it is useless if you graduate from Oxford carrying a 1st when you can not even make a cup of tea. Business wants skill and experience, Grades mare there to give interviewers a outline of what you are capable of but not physically.

Well, I know some people who have finished all their exams and have even moved out of the accomodation. I dream for that day as of this day. The stress is just.....I'm wordless, I cannot think of a suitable word to descrobe the feeling that is laid on me at this moment but It will get to me. The only way to make me feel a little bit better about those who have already finished is to curse them on Facebook whenever they post this or something similar to this "No more exams".......Curse them, insult them and everything will be fine.
When I was revising I watched a Film........It was nice it was a Kick ass film and the title of this film is KICK ASS. I found this film really creative, it was nice adventurous, action and was amazingly awesome.
I have to hand it to Nicholas Cage for his dark knight character, he did a really good job and the relationship between him and Hit girl has been portrayed very well. I love the music collaboration that Vaughn has chosen for the various clips and My favourite Christopher Mintz-Plasse plays Red Mist. Brilliant.

I think I have said Enough, I will be getting my food later and get some revision done along side since I have my weekend booked up for Work. Therefore the only time I have to go over my revision for the Exam on Monday is Sunday and that is where I panic the most. Even though it consist of 40% multiple choicce they are not that easy if you do not know anything about the nature of the subject. If you do not then I have to say that you are generally FUCKED.
I wish the best of luck to all those who are sittitng exams, rushing in your glorious Essays and preparing presentaions for the sake of lecturere who cannot be bothered to read and mark essay.
And for those who have already finish. Suck It.!
