Quietly Camomile

I am going to be so dead. 3 weeks left until Easter break, and on the last day of term, everything will be due. The big hopeless formaldehyde project, spectroscopy project, lab oral presentation (which 'luckily' I got the hardest experiment among all), lab long report, 1 Mastery paper.

In two weeks time, IC Malaysian Night. And we have been practising like hell. Been super busy, I can't even find the time to go to the bank to set up the oh-so-convinient internet banking! Been bugging Aiman for some time already to transfer money for the Europe trip. And I have to reluctantly cancel the shopping trip me and my roomie excitedly planned earlier this week, because of the rehearsal which will start relatively early for a Sunday morning! aaaa. Not that I am complaining, but it happens that everything is pressing me all at the same time.

Hopeless hopeless. I am so not sure how I will go through this last 3 weeks. And oh, camomile. :) It is so enlightening to see something that you will never thought will ever occur. Oh man, at least that will be one thing I will be looking forward to in my 2nd last week of the term ;)

The formaldehyde project is not getting better. I will be babling about this forever I guess, sorry bloggie. But it will someday get on my nerves, and I really hope it won't burst out at the wrong place at the wrong time. With all these 8 equations and 8 unknowns to be solved (and I am supposed to use Maple which will be equally time consuming for me since I am not that good at that), which is one of the simpler part of the project, I really don't know how I can go through the other part of the less simpler question.

The Spring test result turned out better that I expected. But then, really have to work extra hard so that I will be eligible for what he wants to offer. I believe everything that happened, happens for a reason. Should look at the brighter side of it. C'mon ufah, you know you can. Someone does :)

Buat Ku Tersenyum

It's 240am and I just finished my pilot plant report! Never, ever, in my life, I sat in front of the computer doing something productive since afternoon until now. Guess I work better under pressure. But the productive day is counter-productive since I skipped 2 lectures this morning :P Who wakes up at 7am to go to lectures when you slept at 530am that same morning? If I don't continue sleeping in my comfy bed, I'll be doing that in the lecture hall anyway. I have my duvet in my room, so can I really choose? :P

Think again.

Guilty

I feel so guilty. The blog needs an update. But I am ever so pemalas and pressed down with ever so many things to do. Been taking a lot of stuff too easily couple of weeks back, which resulted in some very unpleasant situations. Learnt quite a number of valuable lessons.

Got pilot plant running tomorrow. And still digesting the flow chart diagram and procedures to avoid me from exploding the plant tomorrow. We 1st years always have this image of a menace who always cause the lab to burn or computer to crash. If there's any fire alarm, most of the time we'll get this silly statement, " haa ni sure korang punye keje.. :P"

Happy new year to all. One of my earliest resolution - to be more senyap. And my roommate laughed hysterically when I say that. Geez, am I that loud?

And now there are 2 juniors staying with me for a week since they're having their interviews here. Felt good to see familiar faces and get updates about my beloved college. And oh, d@mn you! I was flabbergasted and shrieked in front of the monitor! You really got me :P

Report writing coming soon, endless labs coming soon. A 6-people-project-supposedly-done-by-4-with-ONLY-2-effective-members project which seems to see no hope and ever darker journey to go through. And a tutorial mate who plans to return my notes probably in the next lifetime? (If I can't kill you I'll make you suffer you wish you're never being born.)

And Malaysian Night! And London Games! So many things coming up, and can't wait for Easter holiday as well. For this time being, work hard, play hard la eh? *sigh*

Till Then

Long time no news. Been having quite a number of dues to meet. Just finished my 1st paper for Spring Test. 1st paper, 1 paper, with Heat Mass Transfer, Chemistry and Mathematics questions in it. phew. For me it didn't go very well. I answered as if I'd been studying nothing before. So corrupted. Destroyed. *poof*

Indulging myself with a chocolate cake bought on my way back to hall. And cooked mee bandung. Eat eat eat. If my friends can't recognize me during the KYUEM Alumni Dinner, you guys should know why. *sigh*

Another thing that made me feel better.

Student: Will Biochemistry be included in our Spring Test?
Dr Mantalaris: I don't know. Even if it is, your spring test will only count for like, 4.5% towards your coursework mark? Which counts for I-don't-know-how-many for your first year exams, which counts for I-don't-know-how-many towards your first year overall marks. When put into perspective, it means nothing.

haha.

Lately my entries are more into grieving and grunting and everything about not enjoying my academic life here. Pleaseeee.. I want to enjoy my academic life! (yay that's the spirit) But only after my 2nd Spring Test paper, which probably more horror than today's - Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Process Analysis, Properties of Matter. Please please, I want to go play netball. I want to go jalan-jalan. I want to do my studying with peace. Not because tomorrow's exams.

Anyway yesterday, there was a poster sale at IC's JCR, everything half price! Got myself 2 huge Muse posters and Emily The Strange for my sister. Now I have to devise a way to bring the poster back to Malaysia. suggestions?

Now back to Properties of Matter. I do not want to integrate the wrong function for Schrodinger's equation like how I integrated Fourier's Law. huhu.
