Argh.. the feeling of stress is really unpleasant.

Ok. I forgot to blog the previous month. I guess that's how much determination I have on keeping my blog alive. Meh.

Ever felt that you were well behind your classmates in studies? Well, yeah. That feeling ain't pleasant. Especially when you really want to score higher than someone..and fail to do so. Oh, and the times when actually you beat that someone by a mark or two, or occasionally get a draw, that person will beat you by like 10 marks or more in the next test :) Haha. I used to be in that situation and I still am.

Apart from that, life here's pretty... cold... and wet lately. Mowing the lawn is a pain since it takes up like 1.5 hours.. and killing those damned weeds are a pain in the butt. For some reason, they have the ability to revive themselves from the dead...even though I've pulled them out completely from the soil... which worsens the tedious task of eradicating them. I am contemplating on getting fake turf (fake grass) for my new house..like seriously!! At least they look green all year round and not yellow during summer... oh, and they look more realistic now since they've been improving.

A couple of weeks ago, there was this workshop.. a psychology workshop to be specific. It was intended to train students to be reliable friends to those who are troubled. 52 students applied, only 28 got picked randomly, and I was one of the 28. (Duh, or else I won't be blogging about this =P) Went there...got free lunch, free training, free certificate and a free badge..which looked a bit tacky. In the end, I now know to deal with people who have problems like, suicidal thoughts (er..lol?), sex life (er..lol again?), social problems, etc. Counselling people was also a new "skill" I've learnt. Well, yeah.. all those useful things were learnt in one day. Hopefully, the cert will look got on my resume =)

Well, back to studies.. mid-terms are around the corner.
