Slacking time....not.

So design project ended on Week 4.
Sometimes don't understand why we dun meet up during weekends and public holidays like Hari Raya...ok I may be influenced by the people working on the other 3 projects...camping in the Structural Lab day and night and so got a little bit worried when my group decided that we dont have much to discuss. The day before submission when we were finalising our report, we happened to clarify something with Prof...which led to a "Let me have a look at your calculations?" and eventually a "Oh no, your soil parameters are far too optimistic" and finally a "oh crap now we have to re-do our calculations". T.T Had to come back another day to finish up the work, and well, I supposed I would rather start from scratch if we had time but I guess we have to make do with what we have.
Anyway it was the week when Val made a super-spontaneous decision to come down to visit...Because of project and Stel having classes too..we werent able to teman her much but did spent some good time tgt..mostly involving food haha. Already looking forward to another gathering with the McNair ppl this week! :)
Finally can devote time to the much abandoned FYP (oops), ITS and Traffic Flow modules..allowed myself a bit too much rest after Design Project ended and found myself rushing for a report for Traffic Flow, which we had 4 weeks to do but none of us actually started on it until DP ended haha. And got started on ITS project too, a rather interesting one which requires us to model and simulate the Internal Shuttle Bus services in NUS and eventually suggest ways to improve it, something which has generated much attention (read: complains) amongst NUS student community recently. Its like VISSIM all over again haha. Times like this make me appreciate VIP even more :). As for FYP..Prof called for a second meeting this week and I did read up some stuff before going for the meeting...sadly still not my best effort but at least have a clearer picture of what I am supposed to do. Apparently I can even finish my work by the end of this sem wor....haha a bit tempted to do it :D. Although starting to get a feeling that literature review are really kind of boring...as compared to the Chem Eng ppl who have been going to lab everyday...my FYP is somehow kind of slack. :S
So many possible plans for recess week...for instance going home..or a short trip to KL...but I have a feeling that I will end up rotting in my room. =.= Also have been attempting to restart healthy lifestyle but havent been successful so far. And didnt even bother trying to book a medical appointment. Sigh.
My posts these days seemed to be severely lacking in pictures...gonna update now. :)
