Blink blink, and a whole term is over. Here’s my first blog post in three months. Ought to start feeling less guilty about not posting. Not like anybody reads this anyway.

Just like that, the hellacious 6-module term is over. At many points during the term I told myself that I would never do 6 modules again because it’s so tiring and stressful. Somehow I managed it, and my GPA didn’t even fall! Really praise God for that. Once again I did worse for my Economics modules than my Business or Core modules, or even the extra Persuasion module that I decided to take for fun this semester. But not that much worse. Now I’m considering doing 6 modules again next semester; oh how joyful that’ll be.

But for now I’m stuck doing a 4-week internship at MTI because I got a cash prize from them sometime back and I felt that it would be rather unbecoming to turn it down so blatantly, given that my belief that part of the reason why I was given the award was because my school’s faculty wanted a good representative to intern at MTI. The sense of obligation was rather overwhelming. Would have been a pretty embarrassing picture at the award ceremony if I had had to tell people that I wasn’t going to intern at MTI after receiving the attendant accolades.

Got a pretty meaty project to handle, one that I'm not entirely sure I can complete to spec on time. I'm trying not to think about or work on the project at home, but something tells me that I’ll eventually have to anyway because the timeframe is so tight. At least for the next two weeks I think we’ll have 3.5 day weeks because of the Christmas and New Year holidays. And I have my laptop working, with Eviews and email and everything I'm supposed to have working on laptop because my lovely girlfriend Sharon was nice enough to let me have use of her wireless broadband modem for this period! When I'm working at the 11^th floor of the building and apparently Wireless@SG ends at somewhere around the 4^th floor. Sigh.

Anyway, we recently marked our 1^st year anniversary. No pictures yet because I think Sharon has them all, but we had a lovely time picnicking at Sentosa’s Tanjung Beach. Sharon brought all the food and I drove, and things were just as they should be. Love.

Dance trainings are really tiring me out nowadays. Haven’t done intensive training since Week 14, so the ramping-up of trainings as we enter crunch period for Bailamos is really taking its toll on me physically. And now, horror of horrors, Angeline, my dear Latin Ballroom partner, has decided to retire. It’s the right decision for her personally, but now Latin trainings are no longer the same for me. I feel like a Ronin.

Oh well. I’ll be making it a point to blog as often as I can, seeing that I'm sitting in front of two laptops all day and can't seem to focus on my research and report continuously anyway. Hopefully with some effort this blog will be brought back to some modicum of life at the end of the next three weeks.
