In the Middle of the Night

I picked up a bad habit of going to the student-run snack shop at the lobby of my hall, for two nights in a row. I knew of it's existence since 3 months back, but refrained from late night snacking, until last night. With the exams tying me down a little, food seems to be one of the only few pleasures left, and I just realised how good it feels to eat hot instant noodles in the cold nights in HK. The amount of late night junk food snacking in the past 2 days, way surmounts the amount for the past 2 months at least. The only saving grace is that I picked this habit up in my final week in HK, and not since the start.

Had my first exam in CUHK today, and totally approached it with a just-whack mentality. Plans to wake up at around 3am to study failed miserably, as I finally woke up 4 hours after I stopped my alarm clock. Consolation was that the paper was a communications one, and I could put to good use whatever communications and media knowledge I had to get through the exams. Again, the safety net factor played a part in reducing any pressure to score (which is farfetched), so I'm just crossing my fingers that all should be fine.

No mood to study for tomorrow's paper though. Have been idling for the whole day already, and despite knowing that there's quite abit to memorise, I still can't get myself to studying. I'm already thinking about post-exam plans.

In some way, I know my plans to have a whole year break from NUS is going to make honours year semester 1 a little harder for me, yet the last couple of weeks have assured me that my current mentality towards studying is not at its best state, and that I'm totally not anywhere near prepared for a full semester of chionging back in NUS.
