Morning Post

SO WEIRD. I naturally woke up at 9:30AM when I went to bed at 4:30AM...and I feel WIDE AWAKE. Who does that?!!?! I wish this happened to me when I was studying for finals. Hm, I think part of the reason may be that my body told me to wake up and hydrate myself!! I don't know how much alcohol I drank last night, which is quite bad, but I did not throw up, so I am quite happy with the outcome.

I ended my last final on Tuesday afternoon and felt sooooooooo liberated. Reflecting back on the semester, I realized I let the academic part of EAP hinder me from fully enjoying myself here in Hong Kong. With my vulnerability to anxiety and stress, I felt strained with the amount of studying and work ahead of me and missed out on opportunities of travelling. At the same time though, I had the mentality that my opportunities are more spread out in the year so I didn't have to pack it all in. It was a good semester though, I think. A great one to start with some new little lessons learned that I can take with me in the new upcoming year of 2009.
