two 'two mores' by tomorrow

The first one being that i have only two more modules to agonise over, after the successful allocation of my three history modules, as can be seen here:

Dear T** Q******* M****** L***, Please find your bidding result for Acad Yr 2005/2006, Semester 1 as follows:------------------------------------------ Allocated Modules------------------------------------------Module Code : HY3237Module Title: MAINLAND SE ASIA: SELECTED COUNTRYModule Code : HY2250Module Title: INTRODUCTION TO SOUTHEAST ASIAN HISTORYModule Code : HY2248Module Title: ASIAN AMERICAN HISTORY

Yup, so it follows that part of my projected ultra-bummer timetable has been all but confirmed... The level three module, for instance, features both a friday lecture *sobs* and an exam date on the last day of exams, in the pm slot, furthermore *double sobs*... Now all that's left is for me to be allocated my chosen cross fac module, which will mean the topping of my stinky durian cake of a timetable with a rotten gelatinous red cherry that is having an exam on my birthday yet again... (Hmm that makes it two consecutive posts with rather bizarre metaphors... I really must be in need of sleep...

The second 'two more', on a more cheerful note, refers to having only two more days to go in my nine-consecutive-day-long serial adventures in school, since there are two days to go for matric fair... Today went rather well, definitely less tiring than yesterday, since i didn't have to do much duty at the booth itself, since arts day is over... Once again, the Lord has been very gracious to us in many ways...

Today also featured me meeting the second and third people in two days who recognised me and greeted me in one way or another, but i had no clue as to who they were... The first (yesterday) turned out to be a law freshie who attended FOC, and who i suppose i must have talked to during the camp, although i now have no recollection of the event altogether... He tapped me on the shoulder yesterday and said hi, but at first i didn't know who he was, then i thought he was someone else, so i said "haven't seen you in a long time", since i was cautious enough not to try to say out his name for fear of being wrong... Well, it turns out that i was still wrong, and that i met him at FOC... Well, i think i pulled it off well enough for him to not realise that i didn't know who he was at all... So paiseh... Then today, some other guy also waved to me, this time i could recognise him, but i couldn't place where i knew him from, after much thinking i finally placed him at an moe thingy earlier this month, wehre it turns out i said hi and talked to him for a while (i only remembered this hours after seeing him). The third one involved another guy who i met on saturday, but again forgot about... I tell you, i am getting old...

Just got off the phone with one of my freshie army friends, David, who asked about the whole confusing and overtly ridiculous system that is cors... Explaining the whole modular process to him, i was amazed that i was actually able to do so in the first place... Looks like living in adverse conditions has really paid off hehe... Of course, i hope that i explained the whole thingamajig to him correctly, though...

Anyways, i realise that many people have asked me over the course of the past few days or so if i am tired or stressed out by the matric fair stuff. Well, honestly, i am, but the Lord has, by His grace, pulled me through so far, in spite of the busyness of it all. That being said, i really do appreciate all the care and concern. It's very comforting. And with regards to all the people telling me to get some rest, trust me, once all this is finished, i will definitely have a good and long breather. At least for as long as is possible till school starts...
