Life as an exchange student in Thailand

On Friday, I have one midterm exam about International Studies at 6 PM. So on Thursday I went out with some friends and since my midterm for the next day is in the evening, we just keep hanging out all night long. The next day, I already have plan to go to the Friday Market in the University. So at 10 AM we went to the market, and it's amazing! They got some stalls -- which is more than enough -- and it's not as overwhelming as Chatuchak Market. So we got some meals there, shop a little bit until 2 PM. At first I was thinking about just staying in the University and study at the library. But thinking about it again, I don't think I'm into studying for four hours..... So I decided to go home with the others.

So I got back to Greenpark, I check my phone and reply all the chats because I could only do it when I'm encountered with wifi (I don't know why but I think my simcard is broken! It suddenly didn't show any 3G anymore!). And suddenly, I don't know what hit me, I feel like trying to enter my University's academic webpage. So I log in only to find out that my exam is on Friday............... at 2 PM. And the clock already turns 3........

I was startled! I was confused whether to just go for it and do my exam late, or just didn't showed up and make a good excuse later. Well then I decided that I just have to go for it, so I ran to a cab and go to the University straight ahead. I'm already an hour late, so I'm so nervous about that. But nevertheless, I looked for the teacher, and I apologize and try to explain what just happened. 

Turns out, my teacher is the best! He told me to just do my exam straight ahead and he will give me an extra 30 minutes. I still lost 30 minutes of my time, but it's better than if he didn't allowed me to do my exam! So yes, I made it even though it is obviously not my best one and I didn't finished it. But it's still okay though!

And now.. I actually have an exam for tomorrow. But it's so hard to find motivation to study. And right now I do anything but studying; when I should've do nothing but studying. Xxx
