A Getaway

I’ve suddennly realized that schooldays are only 11 days away…wait, no, 10 days away!!! It’s not even a fortnight!! O my God…

I’ve just jotted down the list of books for this semester. Four books come up to circa AUD 370 (whhaattt?!?!?!) and I still got one more subject not yet included in that list. I knew that the workload for this semester is gonna be harder and it stretches even more by the end of my course. Yea, shoot me for choosing the 6.25-credit-point subjects that I need to take 5 subjects in each of the next two semesters. But the subject names sound so…interesting, sophisticated, advanced…yea, yea…that surely means advanced efforts are too required.

I’ve seen the syllabus of the Derivatives subject. That looks interesting and challenging at the same time. WHUAAA…How am I gonna go through this? I’m already comfortable with this "everyday is a holiday" life that I’ve managed to accustom myself to within the last 3 months. I’m drowning in it, in fact.

I and my friend watched Casanova this afternoon. After the movie, under the I-dunno-what-to-do pressure, both of us thought of having some coffee and sweets, like we did yesterday, and the day before yesterday. Then I thought that it might be better to have an early dinner as well. So we headed for any place outside the Melbourne Central. On our way out, my friend stopped me when he saw the exchange rates board hung inside a money exchange’s window. He said that he wanted to see the AUD/IDR rate. Then we discuss about the large "gap" between the sell rate and buy rate. I know that the rule has always been to "buy low sell high". And I know that the large "gap" signs the illiquidity of IDR (not much wonder about this). But I kept on missing the appropriate vocabulary for the word "gap". Only when I was on the tram back home I found that the term’s suitable for that context was supposed to be "spread"!! Yea, spread!! Urghhhhhhh…I had a 3-month break and I’ve been losing my words…And now you’re saying that you’re having 5 sophisticatedly-named subjects? Well, well, congratsss.. =) Gonna be a tough battle, mate!!
