Week 6 Monday

Right in the morning I had to sit through this really hilarious+sick presentation, where the guy (whose face pisses me off) talks about the main male character of the play (A streetcar named Desire) named Stanley, who is a violent uncaring husband that's "raw, masculine, muscular, strong, animalistic" (to quote this guy - whose face ( Read more... )

I'm going to clarify something here: I don't hate that girl from my student-led discussion ok. Just so you know. And just so to make it known that whatever I expressed in my past post was a reaction to the event itself, and not to really do a character judgement.

Conclusion: she's nice as a person, but not good as a project/presentation group mate ( Read more... )

I am so bloody pissed this morning; it's bad enough that we're the 2nd group for discussion facilitation, which means it's the 3rd hour of the seminar and everyone's energy and concentration levels just sorta plummet thereafter and yet while I was trying to start off well and lead the discussion, trying to make people understand the context of the ( Read more... )

Been to school for just an hour's worth of tutorial, where we didn't exactly do much, well, almost nothing at all. And I got confused over whether it was 1 person as presenter for each text listed, while everyone frantically yells out their name and the text of their choice for presentation. And I was like huh, can say wuthering heights after ( Read more... )

I've got these things to do:
1) Read "The Knight's Tale"
2) Read the notes I've printed on "The Knight's Tale" (well, sort of anyways)
3) Read Troilus and Criseyde (does reading another 3 pages count??)
4) Start on Vanity Fair!!! (yay i started!)
5) Read "The Three Sisters" (I'm not done with it yet too though..)
6) Read my Dev Psych textbook
7) Read my ( Read more... )

I've been reading "The Three Sisters" by Anton Chekhov and it puzzles me. Somehow I can't feel for the characters, cos their actions and words range from being amusing to being absurd to me. I think it's cos I'm unfamiliar with Russian theatre. Hmmm.

Anyways, I've not finished the things that I planned to complete. S H I T ! I'm already feeling ( Read more... )

I've finally finished Wuthering Heights on Thursday! Omg, Heathcliff is such a pervert; seriously, he should have just committed suicide when Catherine died. Then all the torture and emotional trauma of the 2nd generation wouldn't have happened! It brings to mind what Prof Turner mentioned yesterday, that 19th Century novels are written on the ( Read more... )

Yippee!!! Liverpool rocks la, totally! I went to the Kallang Stadium today - at 3.30pm - for the Liverpool vs Singapore match OMG it was AWESOME!!! :) Gosh, I'm still in shock. Totally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I get to see them L I V E (Not by watching TV) in action, and my goodness XABI ALONSO played!!! :)

I think yesterday I was totally madly in hate with my group project. I didn't eat nor pee for 8 hours straight. I was super tired - well, more of having stiff neck & back and my calves were swollen cos I sat too long. :( And I declare that I dislike labs that disallow me to bring food & drinks into it to do my madly-demanding-website! Ok, I'm just ( Read more... )

I'm getting real busy over school work these days. And I'm trying my best to catch up and catch on... I need to design a brochure for a genetic testing facility - WHAT?!!?? - and tell people what it's about what does it do how it'll help them or educate them or illuminate parts of themselves etc... And I have no idea how to make a pamphlet using ( Read more... )
