Self Evaluation...Haven't used xanga for ages... Just wanna give you guys some updates on me... Two years have passed. A lot of people would think that two years is not a long period of time. However, I think the concept of "time" is actually very complicated. To me, the six years of primary school life was terribly fast; the seven years of secondary school life was relatively slower. As for the past two years, the clock seems to have stopped all the time... Maybe it's because I am too bored here in England. However, the better explanation to my feelings would be the unavoidable happening of many unhappy events. A lot have happened, especially during the past summer vocation. This time, Barry left me. Barry was my other chinchilla. I don't know why. Sometimes I really think that God is messing with me. Before I came to UK, I knew that my greatest fear would be anything that might happen to my chinchillas. Angie died last year, and now Barry also left me. I don't know what to say. The feelings are simply awful. My pets were not just my friends. They were members of my family. Losing them is as painful as losing a family member. At this moment, I am still not fully recovered. I know time would heal; I hope time would heal. Luckily happy things have happened too. The most significant of all is that I have already secured a pupillage place (for my non-legal friends, pupillage is similar to a training contract for Barristers). Although I am still two years away from my pupillage, I am really looking forward to it. So this is my final year. If I don't do masters, this will be my final year of studies. I did not get the best results last year. Well, I would say I did reasonably ok, but it's not good enough. Therefore I have big plans for me this year. I have promised myself to be a lot more hard working. I have also promised myself that I will get great results this year. I am here to aim high, and I will do my best to get the best out of me. Hope that I will have a fruitful year, and most importantly, hope that there will be no more unhappy events, at least for this coming year. |
