No rest for the lowly student

I need a breather. 


Things have really started to pick up again since last week, which i presume would peak next Sunday if I'm lucky and then start slowing down after that. If not, then all I can do is to look forward to Thanksgiving break. 

Wednesday I suddenly woke up at 5.30am to realize that I have a Maths test this week which would be due on Sunday. So of course after that I just couldn't get back to sleep again, and decided to get my lazy butt out of bed and start early on this week's homework. Thank goodness it was an Excel assignment which just means that it's easy and real fast to do. Got to doing half of it until it was time to get ready for class. 

After my second class of the day I headed towards Carver Hall, to attend my third class of the semester excluding test day. I've pretty much been skipping those class sessions, since I've discovered that I learn the problems better on my own from the examples compared to sitting in the lab observing other people out of boredom. I finished up the other half of the homework, checked my email and Facebook and headed out after 30mins. Then it was lunch, work, nap and a whole night of studying maths since I decided to take the test on Thursday so that it would be included in my Mid-term grades.

Thursday. Woke up after only 3 1/2 hours of sleep to continue maths again. I know you guys are probably thinking as to why am I putting in too much effort in maths. Well the answer is because I'm pretty much a dunce at maths, so it takes me a longer time to understand things. 

I left home at 11am for the meeting with my advisor to get the shock of my life when I saw that my cgpa on my degree audit was 2.11. I know I'm an average student but I also know that I can't be that dumb. So she rechecked it again and the updated audit showed my standing at a 3.22. Still 0.13 short from applying to the professional course for early admission. Hopefully this semester's grades would pretty much cover that. 

After the appointment I walked to Carver to sit for the test. My first attempt scored me a 90% so I decided I didn't want to try for the second and third attempt. Bought lunch and headed back home to get some rest before completing my pledge quiz and getting ready for Alpha Kappa Psi pledge interview at 6pm.

The interview I guess went well considering that all the pledges got through, though I honestly think that I screwed mine up. So I really thank the person(s) who voted for me. Finally got home a little before 8pm, freezing cold and hungry as hell. After a really hot shower it was back to hitting the books again.

Now that Friday is almost over, I don't think I would really want to talk about my day. Was late for French from printing the homework because the printer was out of paper, then I missed business law class because I didn't know the second section was in an entirely different building. OK so I ended up writing about it. But that's where I'll stop. I'm so exhausted now and I still have practice later and shopping for stuff with Micky. 

I really need to bake away this stressful week. Will get Wooi Hau to bring over his baking pan since mine is still at Zi Ting's, which he thinks he saw yesterday.
