cleanup!

I just finished my 1st paper, not gonna comment much, just that I felt like I was writing the same thing over and over again and everything is just connected to each other...but like, there's no use crying over spilled milk. My mother has always given me the same advice ever since I was probably having my first ever test (could be in kindergarten even ^^) that whatever's done is done and after the exam or test, don't discuss it further. Concentrate in the next papers to come.

Until now, I still remember her words so clearly, each and every word because she never failed to give me that same advice everytime I have exams. It might sound like nagging to people where you know, mums do when they can talk about the same thing over and again till it just stays in your mind, subconsciously or not. They might not even sound important at first you know. And I admit I didn't take them seriously anyway until I actually felt that they are so true. I mean, like sometimes...you go " oh shit, why didn't I remember the answer to that? It was that simple!" or sth like that...

But at the end of the day, it's over. You can't go back in time, well, in fantasies maybe, but definitely not in reality, the world we're living in today, that's not gonna happen. So why bother worrying about that one thing that might affect the rest of your life? Or in my case, maybe my other papers to come. So, that's exactly why I never discuss about the papers or questions AFTER the exam. I seriously don't. And it helps you know. It's like what Tiing mentioned in her blog, sometimes it's better not to find out what could have been. It might just save us from regreting that certain thing our entire life or sth, which is to me, a total waste of time, when you have ahead of you, the REST of your life to make up to.

So anyways, after our lunch outside, I came back and started cleaning up. It's always nice to do that after one paper is done. It's like stashing them away and never to think back about it again. It's over. And I actually managed to dig out those past year papers form my previous semester and find out just how many space they actually took! It's like a whole bunch of them, just past years, not notes ok...and I never actually read or do them in the past even! Except for few when you hear rumors that they might be the same or similar. But the majority of them are different. So this time around, we actually didn't bother looking up the past year papers. So I basically put them aside into a plastic bag and then put them *nicely* at the garbage area of our block. I know the kakak will always recycle them. And I'm of course happy to help in improving our worsening environment xDD

One of the reasons I did this is because everytime after the semster is over, I had a hard time just finding space in my boxes to out my NEW notes. But thankfully, I only have 3 papers this semester so they're not gonna take much space. In that case, I'll be able to keep my boxes limited and no need to get a new one. They actually sell boxes in our college. Seriously. So..yeah. ^^

I should begin studying my Japanese, which will be next Tuesday. I have a week to study but I'll be spending some time in the lab so I should get a head start.

So, here's to a better day!!!
