Last Easter, I was spending my holiday catching up with old friends, good food and a little shopping here and there. Now, I’m travelling to Japan, doing revision in Starbucks whenever I can. <\/p>\n
I admit travelling to Japan just before exams is risky business, but I’m convinced that spending Easter with family is far more important that getting a first class honor as a first year. Filled with anxiety and my head being in the wrong place at the wrong time, I I walked through Ginza. The street filled with all the best thing money can offer, I walked through Cartier and Harry Winston with absolutely no expression. In contrary to how I usually behaved. I would’ve been smiling like crazy, begging my sister to go in there, looking through jewellries made my head clearer. This time it didn’t.
\nI spent the first few days, travelling in Tokyo. Which I then proceed to Kyoto.<\/p>\n
Three hours in the high speed train, I opened my Macbook and started to do some of my revision. Every seconds that we were not enjoying our vacation, I was trying to read lecture notes through blackboard. Started the morning with a quick read through some notes, and ending off the day the same way.<\/p>\n
I know it sounds painful and unenjoyable, but did I regret it? ABSOLUTELY NOT. The day I got my offer from Imperial was the happiest day of my life. I was so filled with joy, and now that I’m here, I’d do anything to make sure I get out with a degree. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
