Lost In Translation

It's getting hotter these days. The sun's up, the days are getting longer, and the skies are getting bluer.
Hello, thongs. You're finally out again.

Time passes so quickly these days. It's as if the older I get the faster I age. I know I've said this over and again, but things from a year back are still so fresh on my mind and it all just seemed like yesterday. But here I stand, yet again, in this season where I'm facing my final exams. The timetable's pretty neat this time round; I'm not complaining.

6th Nov - Investments
13th Nov - Taxation Law
19th Nov - Enterprise Performance Management

Investments is the scary one at the moment, but I guess I'm glad in that way as I've got just about two weeks to just focus on this subject. Then for the following two papers, I have almost a week each to focus merely on each subject as well. Like I said, I'm not complaining.

The busiest of seasons has passed, I reckon. Are You Game was on Friday night, and on Saturday, I attended the World Vision Annual Benefit Concert as well (which was pretty rockin', in my opinion). Last weekend was the last in terms of events for the year, I think, which leaves me to nothing else but me and the books till the semester ends now. Oh, but for Urban Life of course. But that's always fun and only once fortnightly.

It's crazy though to sit and realise how fast life has (seemed to) pass me by. Three years of uni life have passed and I could've been graduating already. A few of my friends are; and it's seriously quite scary. Not because I'm gonna be facing another sem without friends (because not all are going yet). But I'm just amazed at the speed of the transition from studying for 15 to 16 years (making that practically most of our lives so far) to 'Work'.
Independence. Income. Taxes. Rent. Then a mortgage?
Okay so maybe not that last one yet. But I know a lot of these are running through the heads of some of my friends now, and call me a busybody but I'm kinda feeling it with them as well (even though I'm not quite there yet for another semester).

It's good and easier for some. Some have a specific direction where they want to go. They know they want to make it big by 25 and drive that beemer and live in that penthouse so they're gonna go nuts. Some might know they want to be back in their respective homes overseas to work there or take over their family business. But I know there are some who are still direction-less, and it must be scary for them. I know because I'm still not sure what to do or where to go at the moment. And although it's not something I should be too concerned about yet, it doesn't mean that I don't think about it.

I guess I've got one heck of an advantage so far though. I've got God and that makes life much simpler. Not easier. But definitely simpler. 'Just hear and obey', as the old song says. Many might not understand the concept of a reliance on His will; I understand. But I believe in an interactive God whose plans for me are real and I can actually see its gears in motion. I may not necessarily have the answers as to how life would end up for me. But I know that as long as whatever I do is in His will, life is perfect.

Okay. Enough God-talk (eee). This is fast becoming a tool of procrastination.
I should get back to my books.
I so can't wait for the holidays to come...
