Between Fantasy and Reality

The line is near indistinguishable. Well, to someone who regularly uses the computer anyway.

Yet, sometimes it's what we observe that brings us back down to reality.

Fantasy no more.

Just yesterday [which was really nicely, an early release day, which in the end I realized almost all schools in Singapore had early releases/did not have lessons] I was waiting for my friend to finish up some stuffs.

I went over to check what was going on, since there wasn't much to do already, other than wait to go home. I saw him discussing some stuffs with another buddy of mine, then I peered over what they were actually doing.

They were planning out what to do during the whole of the June holidays. Now, the activities planned was just one thing - studies. I was staring at the whole calendar being filled with what to revise, what to do. Then my friend mentioned he had tuition at some times as well.

This was where some things struck me in the head, almost like an arrow piercing through.

The other 2 of us went into "shock mode", commenting that having so much stuff going on during the holidays would literally kill him [cause it's nearly all studying]. The planning then went on, with the whole syllabus filled up within the mere 30 days.

It was what I saw my friend trying to do that really gave me motivation and inspiration. I understood how important the coming exams would be, but I never did bother [for some reason or another] until now. It's time for some over drive here, 'whacky'.

That nickname would really come into place once I begin my studies in this holidays, which I have decided to do. I think that if I never saw what my friend was planning, I would never have gotten this upbeat about studying, more likely to have gamed throughout and studied in the last week.

Now that all these has occurred, it's time for events to start unfolding. Take action.

*The following list is for my own reference, you can skip this whole portion if you wish [BUT I KNOW YOU WILL! HAHA!]*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long overdue work to be done - Which can already kill me
In no order of priority [I suppose]
1) Galvanic Cell
2) Electrolytic Cell
3) Reaction Kinetics
4) Chemical Periodicity
5) Transition Elements
6) Group II
7) Group VII

8) P & C, Probability
9) Binomial, Poisson Distributions
10) Normal Distributions
11) Sampling
12) Hypothesis Testing
13) Regression, Correlation

14) Quantum Physics

To Study - Which I know will most likely be the one most draining part
1) Every single Maths book
2) The whole syllabus for Chemistry
3) Econs syllabus [which is HUGE!]
4) Physics [Luckily I took H1 ._.] and more crucially,
5) GP [I wonder how I'll study this]

As Means of Self-Practice
1) Attempt [or if possible, complete] the Maths revision book I was given [WATCH ME!]
2) Complete the whole Chem TYS [I regret not buying the other one...]
3) Complete Physics TYS [But... Mr. Tan hasn't told us which qns not to attempt!]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do regret one thing: Not finishing up my homework for tutorials ._.

Now that revision mode is near to switching on, I'm so gonna die from the large content to revise.

A target set, but is it too ambitious? We'll see in a matter of 1 month. Once written, not going to edit. I wonder how much I can achieve in a day of studying?

To change what I've been doing is hard, to not change what I'm doing now and fall from fantasy to reality when I receive poor results is even harder.

A path is chosen, it's time to walk down this winding path. I cannot see an end yet, it's too far away...
