2 down, 2 left

I've done 2 exams already and have 2 left. one on thursday and one on friday.

thursday's one. I think i'll be okay once i get through the material and do some practice exam papars. we are allowed a cheat sheet so I can write stuff on it. so im not too worried about that. but I do want to do really well in it, since I've only last 1% in my assessment so far. so I want a decent mark for it. but the exam is worth 70%... :(

friday's is shitting me cos I dunno anything. I shall study some of friday's exam maybe later 2nite. its worth 80% and I'm a bit worried. cos its hard! :( But I shall try my best to pass it~

the first exam I did was probably the most important one. it was worth only 50% BUT BUT BUT... the marks for this subject will be contributed to my average to get into my Postgrad. So I had to do extraordinary well for it. I spent nearly 10 days studying intensely for it, covering all the dervations of forumalas and trying to understand everything. And what it turns out, none of that was examined :( what a total waste of time! but I think i did okay to get over 75? maybe 80+? who knows...

2nd exam which i did a few days ago. I think that went okay. I had a week to study for it, but i practically procrastinated for 4 days. it wasn't until after the 4 days I felt the "importantness" and how the exam was approaching. it was only a 2 hour exam and only worth 50%. I was smart. I only studied the sections that i thought it would be on the exam. Cos I remember the lecturer saying that there will be 9 topics that will be examined on the exam but we only chose 5. So I went through the course and drew out the 9 topics and then picked the 5 that I was most comfortable with. And (thanks God) that all the ones I picked were exactly on the exam XD! Although at times I went mind blank and didn't know what to write. But since it was a management subject, as long as it made sense, its logical and somehow complies with the theory we covered, then it will be partially right. Unlike maths where its either right or wrong, management you can bs your way through and still get marks. I answered everything and wrote like a crazy man. Wrote like 26-pages. But then again, I had massive writing and you know the exam books they have huge margins and lines. so in actual fact it ain't that much. But anyway, my hands was tired after the exam and I was so relieved I got that exam out of the way. I know I wont get H1, cos I didn't do well in my assignment during the year. But I know I did well enough to pass, and hopefully a decent mark too, not just a P.

Now I shall go and study. I dunno why, but it seems like throughout these weeks Ive been putting tvb first instead of studying. I'm really up-to-date and I'm loving the new sit-com with 李司棋, 黎耀祥 and 毛舜筠... and the other one with 林峯 & 楊怡. XD.

toodles...

hi

I told you I'll come back when I procrastinate... hehe!

Stories. I don't have stories to tell. My life is been really boring for the past week. I've been sitting in front of the computer intending to study. But that failed! Instead, I've started a new game on Facebook called My Empire. Pretty fun! Its a bit like SimCity. You know what SimCity is? Don't know then bloody wikipedia it! Maybe I should go to uni and study like everyone else... but nah, I'll just get even more distracted and I'll get tired when I come home. I'll just lock inside my bedroom and 'try' to study... Exam is on Friday. Been learning this subject from scratch. A bit worried... cos I need good marks on this subject to get into my postgrad nxt year! Yikes!

Weekends are never uni-related productive

Here we are again...

I never enjoy weekends even though they are uni-free days. And even though I make money at work, I never get any uni homework done. When it comes to the following week, I then learn I am stuffed because I haven't done any hw for any my subjects. Then when it comes to the tutorials, I look like a total fool cos I dunno anything!

Take this weekend for example. I aim to get x2 maths assignments out of the way + start on my huge OR assignment (+ oral) + prepare for Supply Chain Management tute... but what has turned out?? I just got 20% done of one of my assignments. =.=

Weekends are always hetic. And never get 'me' time. Like this w/e, I had a a split shift at work on Saturday, in-between a 21st... then sunday was a 9 hr shift + church afterwards. When I got home each day, I was just wrecked. On both days, I had dinner and watched TVB afterwards. I couldn't even stay awake for a whole episode. How sad is that?? Goes to show I was really tired.

I'm skipping uni today! Trying to get some shit done~

I shall return soon! When I start prcrastinating again...

habit...

its becoming a regular thing... whenever I procrastinate, I start to blog here.

nuthing much's been happening. but... I did went to a few concerts recently! Lady GaGa and Kelly Clarkson.

Kelly Clarkson was the highlight! I had front row tickets. Which meant there was not a single head in front of me when I had my "Kelly Clarkson Moments" ... *day dreams* oh my, Kelly Clarkson standing right in front of me, singing her hits... and then she looks down at me! OMgoodness! What an unbelievable moment/feeling that was! I know she saw me, because I made eye contact with her for a brief second. My next goal: To touch Kelly Clarkson~ Even though I was front row, there was a massive gap between the stage and seats. It is where the security guards stand to stop anyone from jumping onto the stage. I just want to hug her and tell her how I adore her so much. hrm... maybe not, bit gay isn't?? but I surely want a photo with my idol which I started liking her since she released the song 'Breakaway' and confessed my feelings for her every since she sang 'Since U Been Gone' LOL! XD (just kidding)

Been to 4 Kelly Clarkson gigs. 3 Official ones, and one as a secret event bak in '08~

Ah, better do some hw. Maybe I'll watch 1/2 an episode of some tvb first...

embarrassment

thought i would share one of my embarrassment moments with you. it all happened on the first day of uni... and i was going to my lecture for graph theory... its at a new place which I never been before. its sort of off campus, like you have to cross the bridge to get there. but anyway... on with the story...

instead of walking across the bridge, I walked up the stairs on the side of the building, because I was already on that side of the road right... cos if i was at campus, I would just cross the bridge from on the david caro building. anyway, I walked up the stairs thinking I was at level 1 of the building. You would think that cos it didnt seem I walked up a lot of stairs. And I remembered that my lecture theatre was on level 2 of the same building. I walked around... exploring, still thinking it was level 1. I thought I would be smart for once and take the lift instead of walking up the stairs again cos I'm such a lazy bugger.

So I waited for the lift. I went in, and there were 2 people already in there. And I pressed the number '2' and the light appeared. And I was like... good, I don't have to walk up the stairs!! Once i pressed it, I closed the door on the lift, the lighting on the level 2 suddenly disappeared. At that moment I thought to myself... SH*T, was I already on level 2?? couldn't be, cos I looked around already.' when it arrived at level 3, i saw the number flash at 3. So I DID get on at level 2, and I was already at level 2. I was so embarrassed! cos there were people in the lift. and they saw me press number 2. and clearly I was in lvl 2 already. Anyway, I stayed in the lift, and went back down to the level I got onto the lift.

Who is that stupid that you wouldn't take a peak around and look for signs to see what level you were on? I guess... ME!! I'm that stupid! *sigh* luckily no one else saw me got onto the lift besides those two people that were already in the lift. Thank-goodness they weren't students either, they were just construction workers, so I probably won't see them again!!

Thats my story. i'll check in again another time.
