Exactly a week ago, I finished the last of A levels - a 1 hour 15 minute long MCQ that for me, officially concluded the end to my 2 years of JC education. At seat E30, the back of the hall, while waiting for the examiner to collect my script and trying to feign a whiff of nostalgia amidst the beating rain, I looked upon my peers but sadly, felt no tinge of nostalgia.

Exactly a week ago, I believed, albeit with some reservations, life would improve by leaps and bounds as liberation drew near and I could finally be freed. The thought of freedom is always sweet and never resented. Even the thought of vegetating at home sounds better than having to memorise another chapter of Biology. But now I'm faced with too much time on hand, too little things to do, too little money to do things with. Perhaps the crux of the issue lies with the last of the three. TOO LITTLE MONEY. Everything fun needs money. Everything nice needs money. Everything I want needs fucking money. Plus freedom means everybody having different schedules so going out and planning outings with people and friend's incredibly hard. Pfft.

On a happier note, since my post on jobs and amidst the initial wave of Post A's fun, I've managed to find a tuition job as well as interviewed and hired at Starbucks. Tomorrow's going to be my 2nd week and 3rd lesson for tuition - so far all's been well. Hopefully the same goes for training at Starbucks and I secure my position as a part-time Barista soon. Really excited to work and burn away the hours. Right now I'm in the ' A day is 24hours but seems longer.' phase and really dreading it.

Oh and I finally got my ass down to the library to search for books I wanted to read. In fact I went to 2 libraries yesterday but apparently they both didn't have any of the 4 books I wanted . None the less, managed to borrow some good reads (or so I hope) - Food Inc. ; Drive - The surprising truth about what motivates us ; Learn to Meditate . Oh yes, I'm hoping to dedicate myself to a meaningful activity (thus the last book) this holidays.
