I find myself blogging more often whenever I have exams coming up. (procrastination?)

I'm left with one last mid term for the semester, cs1102(which is today). And boy I tell you, nothing screws up my uni life than programming, not even retards that I've met. Somehow I can never implement whatever that is taught in lectures although I understand the concepts. And yes that's ironic when I'm a computing student, I know that.

Seeing Yanling struggling to answer the questions in past mid term papers reminded me so strongly of myself when I started cs1101. In fact, it was so similar to the point where I could even know what she was thinking when she answering some of the questions LOL. And now that I've progressed to 1102, I started to realise how great life was in 1101 (despite failing it once), not that I want to do it all over again (duh).

Maths turned out horrible although I did my revision for them already(4 marks confirmed, one more unsure, haiz). I'm not going to blame anyone for the fact that I had to work for the last 3 days of the recess week since I ended up agreeing to taking the job, leaving me no time to continuously practise my papers. I shall just take it as a lesson to be learnt and not be lured by money next time, although seriously the feeling of money coming into my bank account is DARN GOOD hahaha. I haven't had this feeling for so damn long lo. And now, I'm just praying that my econs paper will turn out fine too. Just an average score at least.

The grade for NM3216 grp project 1 came out a few days back, and somehow it was a rather huge shock for all of us because the lecturer was withholding the all the score(reflections, weekly updates and assignments) for the past 3 weeks or so, so it was a little hard to swallow haha. However if Alex released it earlier, we would have known about our mistakes(or more like my grp's designer's insistence on something not neccessary) and maybe, we could have gotten a better score. On the whole we fared average for the game, but comparing it to the highest scores in each category it was a world of difference. =.=||| Too speechless. And to make things worse, my reflection for that week was an all time low of 1/1.5 because I could only do it after my job ended and was rushing out the reflection. The debrief ended at 2am, and it was due 8am. Then I was dozing on and off while doing it and couldn't concentrate on the readings lol.

I guess it just spells a bad start to the start of the 2nd half of the semester. Sigh. Hopefully things will improve as the days pass.

P.S. I'm still trying to get back into school mode now. T.T
