First paper up on next next Saturday...forensics and there is quite a bit to study on! Luckily its open book. Would die remembering who is involved in which case and some general details. Still, must prep a cheat sheet to help. Heh.

Speaking of which, did moots exam on Friday and I cant say it went very well, given that I really started preparing for it on 2.30am on Friday itself. My partner/opponent started around the same time too but came up with a much comprehensive question list. Had to go in office wear, then when we entered the LT we were given gowns to wear too. Woah. 15 minutes seemed to pass by fast enough and lecturer/judge din reli gave me warning. Oops. And lecturer/witness was, sigh, a bit out of script (or was it I dun rmb the scenario well enough) so I got thrown off at points, my questions lose focus and I have a valid point which I din have a chance to ask. Well I prolly wont get much out of that point anyway. Sigh. Kind of stressed out a bit while doing it hence all sorts of broken English came out. Lecturer commented sth to me while I was making my way out but din reli catch wat she say...a bit depressed at the time. Anyway senior batch appeared to watch us and left after me and my partner's exam (we are the second pair)...so means we are boring to watch? Haha Not sure...but that is another 20% down...last 60% to chiong....

Was quite disappointed with myself after ESE test...to be honest I didnt really make an effort to prepare for it. And its a closed-book quiz. Have no probs with the calculations part but I literally gave up on the other 3 questions, coz I simply could not rmb the points. To begin with substantial amounts of my lecture slides are not filled with notes coz i was either stoning or fell asleep in lect, and I didnt borrow anyone's notes copy after my recordings let me down. Cooked up sth for one qn but sort of gave up for the other two. Catch up during finals? Still have 50% to go...

It sucks when I can feel disappointed with myself but after a while I manage to put it aside and slacked again. Like last night when I spent a relatively productively day in the lib only to waste the night away. And today. Even though I know I will be out for tech chairperson treat but still managed to waste away quite a bit of time. Only consolation was managed to get some Phoenix work done and managed to attempt module mapping a bit. But things are looking rough if I were to go for SEP (in Monash, that is). I will still be able to do forensic minor and SEP but I am inviting trouble for myself. My moots partner thought I am admirable for even trying out for the minor because of all the extra mods I need to take up...wonder what he thinks if he found out I am about to try for SEP at the same time. Need to be Superman in my next few semesters to achieve that - am I capable? I do not know.

Two more weeks...will be unprepared for sure..as usual..but I really want to push it beyond 4.0....given that I am quite close to it now...hopefully that works as motivation...
