less than two!

if my buyai is reading this, she'll say 'sampat lgi anak anie blogging. exams nda lgi batah!!'

hehe.

well, i doubt she'll read this until after my exam pasal she doesnt think i'll be blogging at this time. but on the contrary, here i am, just 3 days away from my first paper and less than 2weeks from my last.

putting it like that does make me panic slightly, but i think i deserve a break because ystrdy was an exceptionally productive revision day despite watching biggest loser and american idol and cleaning the bathroom. hey, i am superwoman after all. (truth be told, i cleaned the toilet because it calms me down, scrubbing and polishing and mopping clears my head. too much law in one go is a no-no).

also, atiq says to just chill. because the stressed mind cannot cope with cramming information. krg jadi gila. anyway, its too late to be stressing. i need to focus on whatever info i have and make sure i can gurgle it all out in 3hrs.

i've been trying to train for my 5km run but my point reli is that i need sponsors. so please click on any of the race for life buttons here and please please please sponsor me!

i've been alternating the days i revise with exercising and doing my essay. i found that i couldn't exercise and revise at the same day because i work best subuh onwards and i prefer to exercise mornings too. the routine's worked well so far. i've written about a quarter of my essay and this way i still get my exercising done, what with the extra food i've been eating. thres just something about revision that makes u eat more. actually i've read somewhere that thinking makes u want to eat more. tapi talor plg that article coz it was implying that if u dont think, then u dont eat much and u stay slim. like wth?

this morning i got a taste of how it feels to actually help and train someone during exercise. me and illah went out to the back garden after our jog, set up mats and did weights. somehow working out with a friend made it easier and the weights seems less heavy. she wants to do this every weekend so i hope we stick with this coz besides being exercise, it was super-fun too. she wanted to see my weights routine and i was more than happy to show her. she's strong too, that girl. prolly coz she used to swim alot.

it made me even more convinced that i want to be a trainer. sigh~ one can dream ey? iasked her at the end of the session 'illah, will u pay me?' and she just laughed it off. of course i asked in jest, but to earn money that way would've made me look forward to work everyday.

but hey, who ever heard of a gym trainer with a law degree?

wouldnt mind doing it on the side tho =)

i shall stop there before the post gets too serious. this is supposed to be all light and fun, an outlet from the madness of revising hehe. i've never seen my desk so organised before. i usually do my work on my bed but i couldn't revise that way because i keep thinking i need a nap when i dont. so right now is the most that i can see the surface of my desk. usually i just dump my papers and books thre and pick up watever i need for skool the next day.

goodluck with exams, everyone. and sorry if this post is all over the place.

much love,
be'ah xoxo
