Yesterday, ignoring the soft cooing of all the work i had to do, i somehow ended up sleeping at 1045pm, something that i haven't done in months methinks... Anyhoos had a very good eight-hour sleep, which i probably won't be doing again soon for quite some time. The stormy weather throughout the night just added to the condusive sleeping environment. =)
But i write to add to the general air of positivity on the schoolwork front in line with what Debs and Ryan have blogged about.
I got back my dreaded first el quiz last week and got all of two marks out of ten. Definitely a very frustrating module, makes me wish i had chosen another CS2 instead of el (but alas, there are none left that meet my requirements...). But even through this horrible mark the Lord taught me to be better prepared and not to take any of these things for granted from now on. Oh well, it's only 10%...
But now for the better news, got back one of the two history essays that i was semi-labouring over during the mid-sem break and got a fairly decent mark, in fact methinks it's the best that i've ever gotten for a history essay (i always seem to get stuck in the mid-range). Wrote on, of all things, Rodgers and Hammerstein's "The King and I" (not as fun as it sounds though...), but anyway, was pleasantly surprised with the mark, at least i didn't spend all those hours in vain. Thank God.
There however is one more history essay due back soon that i think i didn't put enough effort into but well that's for another day...
Additionally, as many people would have heard me complaining about, i have a module that requires extensive forum participation (total of 45%). So naturally i have been toiling over my laptop trying to craft intelligent-enough input to hopefully be of at least similar calibre to all those spoil market posts that leave the others like me scrambling to grasp at least some semblance of credibility. Well, today i received an email from the lecturer (who's a very nice and humourous guy, btw) that basically, ahem, identified me as one of those market spoilers. Haha who would've thought... Am really thankful for the email cos i was really worried that i was merely posting nonsense, at least now i know that i am on the right track. Now to craft even more spoil market posts for the next round of discussions, which yours truly is co-leading *evil laughter*...
Exactly one month (or by the time this is published - one month minus one day) to the dreaded ippt, Saturday 5 November, 7:30am (ahhhh), Bedok Camp... Am desperately hoping that can clear this silly thing so won't kena rt or any of that nonsense. To that extent, i shall attempt to go for a run tomorrow. Anyone wish to join me so as to prevent it from eventuating in another "aiyah never mind lah, still got *insert rapidly decreasing number here* days more, will run when i am less lazy" session?
