Presentation + Mic-D + Surprise Exam + Starbucks...
2 more weeks and it will all end...
I'm now relieved because I'm finally finished with my presentation...
I was the very first to present...
It went well...
I just have to read the slides anyway...
But there's something that surprised me...
I wasn't nervous at all while presenting...
Rather I was enjoying it...
I'm really bad at public speaking and I really hate it...
But yesterday, I wasn't at all...
The moment my professor said I can start, I immediately stood up and put my power point presentation on the laptop...
Is it because I like the topic I'm presenting?
Is it because there are only 11 people besides me in the class and I'm comfortable with them?
Or is it because I'm improving at speaking?
I don't know if yesterday was just a special case or that feeling will continue even in future presentations...
But I would really like to improve my speaking skills...
My first class ended early...
Our professor was going to be in a panel for thesis proposal defense so we finished around 10 am instead of 12 noon...
It was still early so we decided to stay and watch the defense instead...
I really wanted to watch because I haven't done it before and I wanna know what should be done in thesis defense...
By the time the clock hit 12 noon, we left the room even though the defense is not yet finished and proceeded to our next class...
In our second class, our professor was panicking...
There's only two weeks left for this term and we still have a LOT to cover in our syllabus...
So instead of doing all the experiments we need to do, she just gave us topics to research and cut the number of experiments we'll do...
In the end, she gave us 2 topics each for research and 2 more experiments to do...
The research is due next Saturday and the lab reports on December 6, same day as our Finals...
Matthew and I are already finished with the electrospinning so we just need to analyze the nanofibers we produced in the Mic-D, as well as other materials as part I of that experiment...
We managed to finish it but again overtime...
We needed to repeat the analysis because of some stupid mistakes while using the Mic-D...
We were late for our last class...
For our last class, we had the biggest surprise...
We had our first long exam in which I have no idea...
I totally forgot about it...
I was so caught up with my presentation and the late homework that I forgot about the exam...
So I asked our professor to gave us some time to review...
Good thing, I brought all my lecture notes...
Then our professor said that exam is open notes...
I was so happy...
I thought I'd fail that exam...
So we started answering only to find out it was all essay...
I managed to answer it but I'm not really sure...
I'm not expecting a good score to come out of it...
About the home work, we told him we weren't able to answer it so he extended the deadline to next week...
We finshed aound 730 pm so we were able to go home early...
Or did we???
My parents are still not back so no one's picking me up...
I'm going home by myself...
I've asked Matthew and the others to accompany me to the train station though and they agreed...
However, while we were walking to the gate...
Someone said we should hang out...
Then someone joked about going to Starbucks, I think it was Matthew...
Don-don and Lean were not really up to the idea because they don't have money...
But Matthew insisted since it's rare for me to go with them after class and no one's to pick me up...
And so we went...
Starbucks is a 5 minute walk from our school...
While walking, we were so noisy, chatting, laughing and scaring each other...
(The way to Starbucks was dark)
Christian was very excited about going to Starbucks...
It's only his 2nd time...
We arrived there, ordered our drinks and chatted...
We were laughing the whole time especially when Christian got his drink...
It wasn't his name written in it...
It turned out that when the cashier girl asked for his name, he said "Douglas", not his real name Christian...
He asked us to take photos of him with the name "Douglas" written on his drink...
It seems like he likes that name a lot...
He thinks it's really cool and appeals to girls...
He talked about it for around 15 minutes...
We left Starbucks around 845 pm...
Matthew and Christian walked me to the station...
Well, the bus station Matthew is going is just behind the train station and Christian is also taking the train home...
I arrived home around 945 pm...
I was planning to start reading New Moon last night...
But I found the leaked chapters of Midnight Sun so I decided to read it first...
It's the same story as Twilight...
Just that it's told from Edward's point of view...
I haven't finished it yet so there's nothing to tell...
It's already 9 pm here and my parents haven't arrived yet...
I'm excited to see them again...
I was lonely without them here at home...
And I'm also looking forward to the strawberries ^_^
