Gosh I haven't been here in a while. School has been unbelievably exhausting. I still haven't really recovered after the mid-sem exam. I just checked my results, but enough about that. I haven't done any revision or studying since week 7. Week 9 just ended, which means I've got a ridiculous amount of catching up to do over the mid-sem break. I can't wait for the mid-sem break! I think part of the reason I haven't done any work is because of the crazy assignment on evaluation of popular information. It's the most gay one I've ever come across. I have to read a newspaper article and then do a crazy amount of research to see whether the information provided in the article is consistent with other sources, research legal problems, think about ethical problems, whether the people who were quoted in the article are in the position to comment about this compound etc.
Disgusting.
That being said, I must admit that it is useful in the sense that it makes you read more and that skills are acquired in the process. I just wish it wasn't so darn irritating to complete it. pfft.
Med ball is coming up! and so is the snow patrol concert!
On a completely different note, something rather stupid happened to me today: during lecture I dropped a pen on the floor. When I bent down to pick it up, my pencil case that was on my lap dropped on the floor as well. Since it was open, everything in it scattered all over the place. -.- ah well.
I'm so tired! I really hate the friday timetable. 8-4 with only one break in between. >.< nasty. I'm so glad today is over. ugh I think I'm going to go sleep for a while. I think I only had about 5 hours of sleep last night and I'm completely exhausted. I was rather lost for half of Gerry's lecture.. it's like a marathon session each time he lectures.
Speaking of marathons, I want to run the standard chartered marathon at the end of the year. eugene said there was a 5km route, so he, perryn, zx, kw and I were all geared up to register for that one. And when I went to check last night, the shortest route is the 10km one. there's NO way I can run 10km. 5km is still manageable, but 10km requires training! dammit. I think I still want to run though. I'll train during the holidays. 3 rounds around school is about 8.5km I think.. or slightly less. crap so to do 10km i'll have to run 4 rounds! It'll take me at least an hour I think. gah. I'll think about it. but first, SLEEP!
