Milo, lumpy custard and the life of a student.

I've just arrived home from university. Not having had breakfast before I left this morning, I made a beeline for the kitchen and I've found some lumpy custard in the fridge. Mixed with milo it's a great combo. I decided to google this to see if there was a photo so I could show you what it looks like. Once again, google never ceases to amaze me - it gave me an answer. If lumpy custard and milo was a human it might look something like this:

If you just lost your appetite you are not alone. After seeing this my lumpy custard was down the drain - I definitely couldn't eat it after that even though it probably wasn't good for me in the first place.

So lectures officially end tomorrow which is great because it means that we get to sleep in late and be lazy around the house. It also signals the beginning of the exam period - so time to get those books out! I guess another great reason about winter in June/July is that it makes studying so much easier. It's always better to study when it's raining outside. If you're living in a place that doesn't have rain while you're trying to study and would like to 'make it rain' - then you could open this link in a new window. It's a site called rainymood and has this awesome sound track of stormy weather. It's really great for studying if you play some instrumental music with it.

I'm looking forward to being done with exams for this semester, as are most of the people I discuss it with. It's amazing how quickly the semester has just flown by at an astonishing rate. When you start the year you always have a list of things in your head that you would like to achieve. Well I have found that I haven't been able to achieve many of those things and it's not because of lack of time, it's because I planned it badly. I didn't actually write that list out onto paper and stick it on my board - and like the saying goes 'a goal is only a dream if it isn't written down somewhere'. So during this period of exams I am going to take the time to write out a list of goals that I would like to achieve by the end of the year and put a plan of action there for each one. So keep an eye out here for my list of things that will be coming soon.

If you haven't written any goals down for the year, then why not write a couple down. If you think you're too old to write plans down, then maybe your plan could be 'don't think like an old person'. Just kidding - but you're never to old to set goals.
