Hello, after an extended hiatus due to my internet connection gone awry.
I said farewell to the national exams last week. I think I might be in trouble, though, when for the last month it didn't feel like I was in the middle of Something Very Important, though it obviously was. Funny thing: almost everyone I asked felt the same way. I didn't even feel the slightest 'nervous breakdown the night before the paper', or even trembling fingers or an increasing heart rate halfway through. I really hope that doesn't mean it's not going to turn out well.
AND I'm getting my first camera in two weeks time! A high-end one would be impossible since I'm tight on funds, but I pretty much have enough for a Holga plus rolls of film to keep me satisfied. I've always been curious about the Holga.
Adding to that is the emotion of liberation. Two month of free time till the release of results on 14 Jan. I feel like going out for a walk, a movie, a festival if there's one. Then there's Anime Festival Asia in December, if I'm not wrong. Last year's was a mess but this year's...well I hope it'll be better. Less crowded, more organised. Less claustrophobic.
Anyone has any ideas for parting gifts? For teachers, friends and the like. I'd love to know, since I've hit a blank wall on that.
