Erm, Really-Delayed-Finally-Over-Post.

May 03, 2008 09:35

So, the exams? Are finally over. 4 papers over the space of 3 weeks - pretty gruelling in terms of endurance, because there's so much space in between papers that I almost ran out of steam studying, and almost gave up. >__< And the last two papers are almost back-to-back, so that makes studying for the last one a fight.

The last paper was such a fiasco: hardest subject out of all the Biomedical Instrumentation modules, I believe. And made even harder with the professor lying to us about what he's going to examine us on. BRILLIANT. ¬.¬

He'd told us he wasn't going to ask us to propose circuits, but he would be giving us circuits to analyse and solve. LIAR. We had to propose the damn circuit, and solve it ourselves with the inputs he gave us. I almost wanted to raise a protest when I saw the paper, and was this close to telling him: "You've betrayed our trust in you! HOW COULD YOU?" So instead, I drew a broken heart there on the paper right next to the circuit. LOL. Permit my little reversion back to infancy. I never left childishness.

Everyone was bitching about it when we came out the exam hall. I was lucky I actually went through the past year papers on the spur of the moment - there was a question similar to it, and I had the nagging feeling he wasn't going to keep to his word, just like the last paper he set us.


And then I had lunch with a few friends at the new canteen at the North Spine. I tried to order a Subway-Melt-with-alterations: instead of turkey breast, I wanted bacon, so it's 2 servings of bacon, and 1 serving of ham instead of 1 ham, breast, and bacon each. Didn't work. The manager told me I had to "follow the formula". ¬.¬ Went with the Melt instead, because the alternative is stupid, and more expensive, and NOT WHAT I WANTED.

Lunch was good. Food in your stomach after an exam is always good. And friends to bitch about the paper makes it all the better. But honestly speaking, we're all pretty much afraid of this paper - whether or not we can pass it, and whether or not it's going to screw us all over, being the last semester and all.

Then I went home, went on various errands before heading with my sister and mum to the pound. There's this really larger GSD there! He's cute, and we met this boy who told us about the Alaskan Husky we (I) were (was) thinking of adopting - he's a pretty aggressive dog, when it comes to smaller beings, and will tend to assert his dominance when it comes to playing and all. Hence, small kids (ie my youngest sister, because she is so small) in the family means not advisable to bring him home.


Almost finishing on Season 5 of NCIS? XD Which lead to my mum complaining that I've been watching too much tv. =___= Lol. Considering that I haven't watched regular tv in a while, yeah. Also, ate almost half a pint of Fossil Fuel on Wednesday (or was it Thursday?) night in celebrations of ending exams. I thought I could actually finish the whole pint on my own, and that? Is a really scary thought. O.o

And pool on Friday afternoon with pookiesbleubass and li_zhenzzz is not a good idea. Not because of the two people, but the sheer amount of other people there. Also, am reminded to lose weight because my shorts are no longer baggy enough to hold my cellphone and wallet in the same pocket. And I have to NOT strike the cue ball so hard. I kept jumping the balls, well, there was once both the red solid and the cue ball went into different pockets simultaneously in one shot. =__= And at the same time too. Lizhen was commenting that we should've video-cammed the whole shot: it'd be amazingly funny. Lol. Also, Friday afternoon pool is a bad idea because too many kids there. =___= Meh.


1. Catch up with people.
2. Consider my next move. D: (Job, or another degree. How to get the money for the other degree too. D: )
3. Call up IRO to see if I'm still elligible for summer studies. The deadline's already over, but I'm hoping they can still help me with some things. I'm thinking UCB or UCLA - either law, or mechatronics? Something like that. >_<
4. Get a bike license? My dad'll never agree to it, but mum sees the practicality of a bike license. >_<)
5. Clean. (Room and shelf, and get a system of organization around here. It's covered with wires and papers. =___= So not funny.
6. SEW! :D I'm thinking of making bags as a gift for my Japanese language teachers - they've been very encouraging, and helpful all these 4 years. :D Also, I WANT MY JACKET, DAMMIT.

Oh yes! aefallen, can I ask you a few things about a career in law?

updates, education? what education?, family and friends, the other elements, thoughts, school, exams
