New Year, New Challenges (o_O)

Ugg... I just got over a nasty cold that's been going around in my dorm.
I haven't gotten that sick in a really long time - I forgot how much it sucks (-____-)
Anyway, this term is going to be really different for me... I'm stockpiling on 3rd year polisci courses, which means that March is going to be one killer month. I have 4 research papers due around the same time in March, and they're all worth at least 40% of my mark. I definitely have to be really good with time management this term...
I'm also concerned about all these things that I have to get done in the summer. I'll most probably have to take some summer courses (also polisci (>_<)) and start preparing for the LSATs. I'll probably take this Kaplan course... but the hours are really inconvenient, they're either early in the morning or late at night. It wouldn't be a problem if I was still living on campus in the summer, but I doubt I'll be doing that (especially if they tear down my dorm o_O).
I also wanted to join my friends for a mission trip this Summer. It would be in Ecuador with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) most probably... hehe it'll certainly make me nostalgic of our grade 9 trip. I want to go, but it's difficult to figure out logistics six months in advance. I really need to get all this LSAT stuff done this summer, and I am sure that I will have to go to Philippines again ( this will be like my 20th trip to Davao ?? trust me, it's NOT fun.. ) God willing, I'll be able to find a way to get everything done and join the guys (and gals) in Ecuador.
I'm definitely starting to feel the pressure of getting into Law... I did ok last term, but there is definitely room for improvement ( the difference between and 81 and an 85 is HUGE ), so I have to find a way to do better. I have to make sure to keep on my readings, see the prof a lot about the essays and course material, and not have any regrets about badly using my time. That's easier said than done of course..
On a much different note, if you are into animation and/or art, you should try and see the korean movie Wonderful Days. The film has a really beautiful blend of 3D and 2D art... some of the lighting effects are just incredible.
The movie came out a few years ago, but I bring it up now since its coming out in theatres in North America, under the name "Sky Blue". They have movie stills and a trailer at the official site, found here. It will probably only be shown at Tinseltown or something... but it is worth watching or at least downloading (^_^)
Wah... this was a pretty long post...
Hehe, sometimes it is useful to own a blog to vent on...

Well, just wanna say "good luck with all that polisci". Oy, that must be rough. But no polisci I ever heard of could withstand the mighty pen of... "The Edge".(Bustin' out the ol' nicknames. (^_^))
Oh, as far as the planned missions trips goes, I'm pretty sure it's not gonna work out (talk to Danny - we just don't have the numbers.) :( Oh well, if God wanted us to go we'd be going (and still might) but if not then we'll be doing something else that He'd rather we do.
And finally, I know I'm not a huge anime junky (what can I say, I'm just a white guy, lol) but this "Sky Blue" looks pretty cool. I may very well end up seeing (ie. downloading) it.
Keep your stick on the ice.
