Haaaappy busy me

It's been a while since I've last been here... Nowadays when I don't blog, it usually means that I'm too busy with my life to find any time to sit down and write. Not that I'm lazy. In fact, I've had the urge to blog a billion times wthin the past two weeks or so, but never did I find time to do it. :(

Since the beginning of this semester, I don't think I've ever had a week without plans that I've put several weeks ahed to do. First there was my birthday preperation and the actual celebration itself, which took a lot of organizational efforts but paid out really well. I was happy, yeah I think I really was. (Which is still very weird if I think about it, because this is like the second birthday in a row that I didn't hate that much... and somewhat even enjoyed. What's happening?)

Well, and then came uni stuff like presentations and some early-ass exams. And then I had to prepare a thank-you-dinner for the people who helped me on my birthday. I made summer rolls for 14 people. Do I need to say more? :P Well it wasn't too stressful but I sure didn't have any time for doing-nothing. Plus, Quynh was also there and stayed for the weekend. It was awesome. It's always fun with her. :)

These days I'm also going to the lab from Tuesday to Thursday. Even though I only stay the morning, it does add up some more stuff to my pile of work. It's very very interesting, but I have to read up on so many techniques and study so many more papers. On top of all the reading I already have to do for regular university subjects. Because at the end of this semester, I'm gonna have to take 6 exams in 2 weeks. That's crazy! And beccause I'm such a nerd, of course I don't want to just learn those subjects by doing some old exams but actually want to read books. I still get that satisfying feeling everytime I read something really interesting, this so-called 'aha-moment' especially when I can see a connection between the new information and the knowledge I already have. It's a little bit of an addiction somehow, probably also a huge argument for my decision to take a free semester. I just need that time to concntrate on one thing - either uni or research - because doing either of them will eat up a lot of my time. And I'm gonna enjoy it. If I do both, I guess I'll just feel stressed all the time.

Yeah, so this is my life the past few weeks. I'm happy busy. Maybe I'll be happier if I have more time for writing. Sometimes I'm sitting somewhere, like in the middle of a lab meeting, or in a lecture, and some thoughts I just really wanna jot down somewhere pop up continuously. Then during the rare minutes when I finally have a little time (like now), those thoughts are gone. So typical, lol. 

Maybe the next post will be more interesting. I have to stop now because I have to prepare for my neuro class. I'm a tutor, not a simple participant. Feeling so responsible and all. :P

P/S: I love summer! I love summer fruits! Watermelons for the win!
