I don't know how I do it; I really don't. I don't know how I got rid of 5000 words in my paper and successfully whittled it down to exactly 6000 from 11am to about 5pm (with a lunch break and brownie break in between). I don't know how I do it. More importantly, I wish that I never have to do it again because it is painful, but who am I kidding? ( Read more... )

I am so tired. I slept at 5 after finishing the essay save for the conclusion and woke up at 9 to write the conclusion and read the essay through.
The worst part was, when I tried uploading my answer at 9.58 a.m., IVLE refused to respond. I tried again at 10 a.m. and the same thing happened. When it was finally uploaded, it was time-stamped 10.03 a. ( Read more... )

DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS THAT, EVEN FOR A PAPER FOR WHICH I HAVE DONE MINIMAL RESEARCH AND EVEN MORE MINIMAL READING, I AM STILL UNCOMFORTABLY CLOSE TO RISKING THE DANGER OF EXCEEDING THE PAGE LIMIT.
THIS ENTRY IS IN CAPS BECAUSE I AM ANNOYED AND FRUSTRATED, AND I'M AT PAGE 10 OF 15 AND I HAVEN'T EVEN BEGUN MY SECTION ON WHY AND HOW JUDICIAL ( Read more... )

1. I'm so irritated with the materials I've found for my Comparative Constitutional Law paper. The question basically asks about judicial review and whether it's necessary or needed to protect liberal democratic norms. I found this fucking long article (60 over pages) published in the Yale Law Journal (which explains its length!) that's staunchly ( Read more... )

Indian Wells update:
OMG ROGER AND YVES ARE PLAYING THE BRYANS IN THE FIRST ROUND.

WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF.

The Bryan Brothers are the #1 in doubles. It was shocking for Fedrinka to beat them at the Olympics last year and it was probably more an anomaly than anything.

WHY DID ROGER AND YVES GET THE BRYANS WHILE NADAL AND MARC LOPEZ GOT SOME PAIR I'VE ( Read more... )

School Ramblings

I submitted my Thailand paper and all I can say is, I'm So Surprised It's Not Overdue.

I'll be downloading my Comp Crim take-home exam question in exactly 1 hour and 27 minutes. And um, I haven't studied at all.

I'm going to need a serious, major miracle to get through the exam in one piece.

OH WELLS! Too bad lor.

I still can't decide ( Read more... )

More American Idol ramblings! If it helps, all this madness will end on 21 May (or thereabouts) so bear with me.

Oh wait, before that, I just want to say that my Thailand paper sucks and that I've decided to reorganise the entire thing. Hopefully I can get it done in time for tomorrow's deadline. It's not so much the rearranging that annoys me; it's ( Read more... )

I FINISHED MY FUCKING PAPER.

Granted, it's technically an hour and twenty-three minutes behind my self-imposed deadline, but who really cares that it's technically a new day after 12 midnight, right?

Granted, also, that my paper is the worst supposed-to-do-well-for type paper that I've ever done in my life, EVER, and that I seriously had NO IDEA ( Read more... )

Okay, it seems like my goal to finish my Thailand paper by today is fast becoming an Epic Fail. I spent my whole afternoon alternately trying to write about south Thailand's history of separatist Muslim activities and, after I found myself getting bored, being distracted by David. ARGH I'm so annoyed with my paper! I swear I had NO IDEA what the ( Read more... )

I had lunch with my mom at the Botanic Garden food court today after my Legal Chinese group discussion for that pesky translation assignment (done, by the way, and good riddance). The Indian mee goreng I ordered was fucking nice and definitely beats the one at Glutton's Bay. It's also 50 cents cheaper to boot!

Anyway, the whole point of having ( Read more... )
