I don't like tax...

I am in the library now cramming for my tax midterm.

Why why why can't tax be more straightforward! They give a rule. A very definitive rule. And then it's followed by a gazillion exceptions! I'm sure the exceptions have exceptions too...




And I don't know how to get home because it's raining furiously outside with occasional thunder! My umbrella is hanging warm and cozy in my room...

If I run home now, atleast I won't feel the sweat on me!

Another item to add on my bucket list

So as many of you may or may not know, I'm taking Ancient Greek Society as my elective this term! Actually it's not really an elective because it's my sixth course, when we normally take five courses...but still! I need to take a sixth course somewhere in my uni career in order to graduate! Haha lame requirement for my program right?

Anyways. Omg I actually really really love this course! I wasn't expecting much and I was still kinda sad that the East Asian Society lecture was full. But to my surprise it's very interesting and the prof is topnotch! So my new item on my never ending bucket list is: visit Greece before I forget everything I have learned about it!

Midterms this week:
Tax :(:(:(
Greek! Today! Ah!

Because I really don't feel like studying for Tax

I've realized that I tend to blog a lot more when I'm:
1) Bored
2) Slacking Off
3) Procrastinating
4) I've read some interesting blogs lately

In today's case, it'd be #2 and 3.  And 4.

There once was a time in my life when I really enjoyed blogging.  I loved the rambling aspects of it, and knowing that maybe, maybe someone random would Google a random subject, and would randomly stumble upon my blog, and would randomly start reading it, and would be able to divulge in my daily rambles.  Haha. Silly me.

I think I started blogging back in grade 7?  I would blog daily, almost! It started off at Asian Avenue (Remember that site?  I wonder if anyone still uses it... It's been so long! I feel old.)  Then I moved to MSN Space, and then Xanga.  I stayed on Xanga for quite a while, actually.  Maybe 2 years?  I loved blogging then :)  After that, I moved to Yaplog, which was a Japanese blog site, where I primarily blogged in Japanese, sometimes English.  To be honest, I think I enjoyed blogging there the most, because of the anonymity of it!  And yea, random people would randomly comment on my random blog posts. :)

When people ask me, why did you want to become a CA?  My answer:

Well, I originally wanted to be a doctor.  So I'd go around, Googling for blogs written by Med school students.  (They were usually really funny!  My favourite is http://ahyesmedschool.blogspot.com/.  He doesn't really update any more though :(  ) And after clicking and clicking, I somehow ended up on a blog written my a female blogger, working at an unspecified Big 4 accounting firm, and really, I totally got enthralled by her lifestyle, and her ambition.  It helped that she was a great writer too!


Yup, that's my reason.  Totally unconventional and weird right, hehe.  And yes, that's the answer I told my Big 4 interviewers.

I love blogs. <3
