What Doesn't Kill You...

Only makes you braindead for a very, very, very long time.

I am FINALLY halfway through my exams for this term. 2 more to go, 1 of which I haven't started studying for. I can't believe I have to sit for 5 exams this term. 5!!! All because my course title says "Mechanical and Diploma of Management" instead of "Mechanical with Management"... Because of silly little semantics like that, I have to study like a pure mech student AND a mech-man student. Yes, yes.. I know that I'll come out of this with a much better degree. I'm just saying it's tough... Not that I'm complaining...

Ok. Who am I kidding. I'm complaining.

Aizzzzz~~~~

This morning's paper was "Economics, resources and safety management". Believe it or not, that course is actually part of my engineering degree, not my diploma. It was ok. I'll pass. I don't know what grade I'll get, but I'll pass. The plan was to come back to uni after a break to start revision for the last two papers. The paper ended at 12pm.

I got home at 1pm.

I've been in front of this university computer since 3.30pm.

It's now 5.21pm.

I've done nothing.

Except update this blog. And checked my e-mails. And facebooked. And lamented how fast I can forget how to speak a language when I don't practice it.

.........

I wanna go home...

Almost 24 Hours....

Guess where I am...

For the 20 hours, I have been in my classmate's flat in Hillhead Halls. I've been in his room, his kitchen... At some point I was even on his bed...

Doing our wretched project.

It should've been finished. Instead, we are still here, toiling over the final bits of it. We've been at the "final bits" of this project for at least the last week. And in the end we still couldn't get it done on time. The deadline was just less than an hour ago. It didn't help that in the middle of it all, we lost our only formatted version of the report. Don't ask me how. MS Word just decided to revert back to the original un-edited version. So we had to re-do the editting all over again. Or rather, my poor friend had to re-edit it all over again.

The thankful thing is, our supervisor agreed to give us an extension. Although we had still hoped to get it done before 4pm. Luck was just not on our side. Still, there is still a mild hope that we can get it done and printed out by tonight.

One other ray of light in my life though... I ordered an original Master FX Replica of Yoda's lightsabre!! It's been processed and delivered... And I should receive it by tomorrow or Monday!!! \(^o^)/
