Approaching Week 13

Haha, I dun even noe how I have time to blog.
Final week of classes next week, followed by reading week and it's exam time! In fact my first paper is in exactly 2 weeks time and I am nowhere near the beginning of preparations of it. So doomed. 3 projects from my TE module due on the last lecture, not to mention a presentation during the last lecture too...SSD essay is done, needed improvements (tutor: no problem passing the module, but if you want a better grade you need to improve it) hence wondering if i should just settle for the pass...at the beginning of the semester I was planning to S/U it anyway...maybe I should concentrate on resurrecting my other modules? Other modules which I know if I work a little bit harder I can catch up and maybe pull off another miracle...TE module, the projects seemed to be going ok although it does feel a bit cincai..spied on other groups work and there are definitely much worse ones and it does look like there are quite a number of lost sheep in the class so hopefully it works out? (okay i think i am being very optimistic). Geotech is another mod which needs a lot of work, especially since there are no midterms and so didnt have chance to revise for it. Structural Analysis part 2 have been surprisingly bearable so far, though it is freaking tedious. Part 1 is still kind of hard. RC structures is my most worried mod at the moment and there is this design proj going on, which, well, is kind of tentative at the moment. Dont really know whether our methods are right and with only one week to go. Its the first paper as well! *stress* Forensic module, well, surprisingly didnt do too bad for my quiz given how unsure I was about my answers, hopefully it stays that way in the finals. It's kind of killing me more than other people because most of the people are from Science and are either life science or chem students...life science students will probably struggle with drugs and pharm topics and chem students probably struggle with DNA topics. I struggle with both. Sigh. Probably wont have time to study until reading week and someone just doesnt seem to understand that there is still significant buffer time and certain things dont need to be done during reading week in which I only have one week to study for 5 modules for which their exams are on 5 consecutive days. Gah. Why make life difficult for yourself and make others' life difficult too? I mean, I am not hiding from my responsibilities, I am merely prioritizing. Internship-hunting has not been going well either...officially got rejected for my first choice VIP company (without an interview), sent in a couple more applications and havent heard any news, and resorted to asking my TE project team mate if his company is taking in interns and he very helpfully sent in an email to his HR dept to check...hopefully good news? On top of that.....after around three weeks of not applying cream, it made a full scale return. Sigh. Around 3 weeks left. Hopefully I come out in one piece. Labels: NUS, Raffles Hall, skin, updates |
