Err

OMG WHERE DID THE BREAK GO???

Back to school tomorrow, haven't studied the slightest bit of Mandarin even though it's the first lesson of the week..have a mid-term on Tuesday which I am desperately studying for now. One of my project groups seems to think that we have a draft paper due on Tuesday afternoon which I swear I heard nothing about..it's the second half of the term so my half-credit module is starting and I will now have school on Wednesdays as well.

Back to chaos tomorrow..looking forward to December..

Ooh Wee

Just realised that on the 26th of this month, it'll be the 5th year anniversary of this blog! Life seemed a lot more interesting/fun/carefree 5 years ago..

To sum up yesterday's post; the meeting made me realise that I am seriously growing up and by next year once I'm out of school and looking for job I will actually have to handle such things as my finances and insurance stuff independently. And I also realised that it seems like a good thing to make long-term plans which I honestly do not like doing. I'm more of a go-with-the-flow kind of person and now I'm thinking..should I actually have some plans??

I dunno I dunno I dunno

Financial Planning ?!

Ok so I just had my first ever meeting with a financial consultant. Through a friend's recommendation a meeting was set-up and after I postponed it twice (mainly because I forgot but also because I had a ton of stuff to do), it finally took place today. It was interesting but half the time I really just wanted to start laughing out loud because today I had to think about thinks that I have seriously never thought of in my life!

So obviously financial planning is planning for the future right and I was thinking ok so it's gonna mainly be about making my money work for me which is cool. It was a little about that but also about a whole lot of other serious stuff such as: When do you plan to get married ?!?!?!?! How much do you plan to set aside for you wedding ?!?!?!?! How much do you plan to set aside for your house ?!?!?!?! Car ?!?!?!

Huh?!What?!Huh?! I've always known I would want these things in the future but for some strange reason it never occured to me that I would actually have to plan and save and set aside huge sums of money for them. So when faced with these questions, I drew some serious blanks. One of the first questions was: When do you plan to get married? Me: Errrrr I HAVE NO IDEA. Then when asked how much I wanted to set aside for my house/wedding, I was like..how much do these things even cost??? I don't know!

Ok I gotta continue this later if not I'm gonna be late for my project meeting!

Lazy Sundays

i absolutely love lazy sundays..and i actually think they're really important to have. after running around or being stressed by school work all week, there just needs to be one day where you don't have to answer to anyone or prepare for something or go anywhere and cut just sit back and seriously seriously relax. i always seem to be on the go and having so many things on my mind that need to be dealt with that on sundays all i wanna do is be blank.

unfortunately..school work mostly gets in the way of my lazy sundays too and I've gotta do research before my project meeting tmr afternoon..by the way, I'm supposedly on mid-term "break" this week but i'm already scheduled to go back to school on monday AND tuesday..goodness only knows what else is going to come up!

ugh..school..research..shit..screw it all!!!!

Today's a Lazy Sunday :)
