*****************************************
Sucks. 19th, 20th, 21st... 3 days in a row and they're all "can die" papers.
Oh well. All my papers are out to kill me so what difference does it make. Plus, all my engineering papers count for 100% of my grade.
Fantastic.
I'll just fail now, thank you very much.
Pah.

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...

3rd Year Term 1: Exam Results
Oooh ooh.
I passed my exams.
Well, I've known for 2 weeks now, but I keep forgetting to blog about it. Anyhow, here are my scores (over 20)
Engineering Methods & Analysis - 20
Fluid Mechanics - 17
Stress Analysis - 19
Engineering Materials - 14
Engineering Design - 18
A CAS 14 for Materials! It's a bloody miracle. I really thought I screwed up that paper. It's pulled my average down but thank goodness it's still above 15. I can keep my MEng.. For now. 2nd term is the crunch. As long as I keep the average I'll be fine.
That said, 2nd term is proving to be a bitch. The 3rd year project is killing all of us. I really don't know how this term will go. 5 examinable courses. I will die.

Internet-less
I have been thrown into the spirals of the dark ages once again. D moved out you see, and with him went the TV and the internet.
Although it doesn't really bother me per se.. I have to admit that there are inconveniences. I cannot check my e-mails that regularly (read: every hour) and although I'm not too fussed about it, it does mean that there's a high chance of missing out on important e-mails that may have been sent last minute or something. Well, not that it's such a bad thing when you want to avoid people. Then not having the internet is a very valid excuse.
There is also the fact that I no longer have easy access into my WebCT page, which is something like a student folder. It's where the lecturers will dump stuff into relevant folders for the students to download, like lecture notes and things. NUS had a similar thing but I can't remember what it was called. So there went my brilliant idea of making a Singapore-relevant comparison. I have to find a computer inbetween classes to download them to be printed back home, because I have no money in my print budget at the moment.
And of course, probably the major part of my grief for the loss of internet (although it shouldn't be) is that I no longer have easy access to my Japanese language resources. I will have to go back to using the CDs that came with my textbook. Haiz. Reading the Daily Yomiuri and Sanspo Online and watching Kanajni8 was so much more fun though. Oh well.
Classes have started again. Immediately after exams. I still think it's cruel, not to give the students a mental break, especially after forcing us to study over Christmas. I'd really rather they start the term earlier, say at the end of August instead of the end of September and get the exams out of the way before the Christmas vacation.
How did the exams go? I don't know. I think I'll pass the first three... But I'm not too sure about the last one. It's a 50/50 chance. Well. I'm not going to find out until the end of February. So no point worrying about it now.
This term is going to be truly exciting... A real killer... (X_X)

Exam Results!! Year 2 Term 2
Yes ok. It's a rather belated report. The results came out about 2 weeks ago and I haven't actually done very much updating on this blog or any of my other me-sites. I think the most pitiful site I own is my drawing site. It hasn't been updated since before last summer. Anyhow, here's my report for the second half-term of 2006/2007 (remember that the CAS scale my uni uses is over 20):
Siew Mai's Report Card
EG2510
Engineering Mathematics 3 - CAS 20
Was expecting either 19 or 20 so this is ehm... expected? *ducks to avoid projectiles of rotten tomotoes and raw eggs*
EG2539
Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics - CAS 15
EEK!! JUST hit minimum expectation for myself. *sweats* I promise to do better next year when I choose my specific course of engineering. No points for guessing which branch that will be
EG2559
Electrical and Mechanical Systems - CAS 13
Ok. I know it's not that fantastic a mark. It's the bottom of the 2.1 class. But I really was having a lot of trouble with this topic. I just couldn't grasp it strongly enough. I actually gave myself a minimum of 10 to meet, so this is actually better than expected for me.
EG2579
Engineering Design and Practice 2 - CAS 18
Improvement by 1 point per term for this practical lab course... And - I regretfully admit - I didn't even put very much effort into it this term...
