So after the exams

So after the exams

Hmmm now that exams are long done with, a quick recap on what I've been doing. I have gone to Turkey with the parents, and gone to Eurodisney with friends and basically ate a lot and done no gymming.

Loads of worries about oncoming results and storage and packing and finding suitable accomodation to live in London for next year. Anybody knows anyone who wants to rent out 2 bedroom apartments in central London for reasonable prices? :)

I promise pictures from Eurodisney and Turkey soon. As for now, I have to go get prepared for my apartment viewings and try to ask smart questions so that I won't be conned by the real estate agents.

Note to self: Remember to look for stains or drips and to "discreetly" slam the doors to make sure they work.

I have frittered away 3 days that could have been spent studying for my Financial Services Regulation exam, leaving me only with 2 full days before the paper. Sigh. :( I never learn.

Anyway so today I was thinking, this is my last undergraduate paper, and than I will be done. You know, out into the big world from my sheltered cocoon here. And I'm scared. I've had this conversation with so many people already. Its like we're all scared together but we have to go out there and do it.

I want to find my Zen job, but I don't know what it is. So until than I'll just keep going along, utilising what I have learnt and learning along the way until I find something that I'm happy with. Or that pays me well enough that I can retired in a period of time that I'm happy with and do things that I want to do.

On a side note: I'm slightly bemused when people say, "Oh you're so religious or Oh you're such a good girl because you go to mass every weekend/play the piano at mass." So what? Does going somewhere and spending 1 hour of your time there and not thinking about God make you a good person?

I'm not saying I'm bad or I don't believe. What's disappointing to myself is that I seem to call on God more during times when I need Him. And I do make the effort to remember to thank Him as well, and to accept and understand that God has a plan for me. What I'm saying is, while not entirely pointless, am I playing the piano for His glory or because I enjoy it? At what point does playing become a ritual and my prayers get neglected because of the assumption that playing = doing something for God hence the lack of need to talk to Him.

I once asked my mum if its okay not to marry a Christian/non-Catholic. And she said, what's more important is, even if that person isn't Christian/non-Catholic but helps you to lead a more spritual/religious life, isn't that better?

What do you think?
