Yeah well, today was the Friday the 13th and I didn’t even realise it until I saw someone commenting it on their facebook status much earlier in the day. Little did I know that something was really going to happen that isn’t exactly a good thing. More on that later.
Anyway, it’s supposedly the final day of the semester excluding reading week and exam period but it’s still a mad race to clear deadlines. Not only that, there are still deadlines over the next 2 days that are due for submission. Thankfully, I have already completed one, though it’s really the simpler of the 2 to finish. Ah well, after submissions come a couple more presentations before having a few “untouched” days to (by right) prepare for the exams. Heh. Ah well, in any case, it was good to “close” 1 more module today. For some reason, I actually felt happy and relieved that another thing is off my mind. Gotta hate it when your mind naturally stores all these information in the head and keeps bugging you.
Before going onto other stuffs I want to say, the bad thing that happened today was that to our (team’s) horror that there was a rather careless mistake made in our project that none of us discovered throughout the entire semester doing it. Luckily the tutor is kind enough to let us do changes to it since it only required very minor fixes. Not exactly a nice feeling to receive such news in the middle of the day. Oh well, somehow I feel kinda guilty for not spotting this error. Sigh. Hopefully there are no other major screw-ups that I’ve overlooked (sigh) and I’ll see how it goes on Monday when it’s the actual presentation and grading.
Ok, anyway I meant to say (or type) that the “end” of the semester really doesn’t feel like one. In fact I’ve lost track of the week count since a long time ago, only relying on the various deadlines to calculate the offset of the current position wrt the due date. It’s also partly why I did not realise that today is the 13th even though usually I’m more sensitive to such things. Haha. This semester is really a painful and hectic one for me. Hopefully no one tries to emulate this combination, unless he or she is capable enough to do such things without suffering too badly.
Apart from worrying about the leftover things this semester, I am also (you could say *still*) fretting over what modules to take the following semester. Not having a particular interest in things that are offered academically, coupled with factors such as the competitiveness (bid point wars?) and difficulty (well-known crazy bell curve) of certain modules is really proving to be a bother when it comes to shortlisting possible module combinations for the coming semester which will begin in less than 2 months, with the most important MPE in a little over 72 hours from now. Maybe I should just be “brave” and whack modules anyway and pray that things don’t fall apart (or break) in time to come.
Looking on the bright side (or trying to), there’s “only” less than 17 days to go before I complete all my papers for this semester. I suppose it’s considerably early since there’s a public holiday somewhere along the way which delays exam dates by a day if I’m not wrong. I am really looking forward to this vacation break even though it isn’t long at all considering the time lapse till results are released and before having to need to go back to the wonderful system known as CORS.
I had intended to sleep much earlier, but for some reason (actually I think I know why, at least partially) I’m still here typing this entry. Something’s not right about my state of mind recently. At least I’m still aware of it. Forgive me if I seem to space out or behaving weirdly. I still (I think) have things under control. Haha. To all uni students who have exams coming up real soon, good luck for them! =D
p.s. I feel like writing a protected entry again. But kinda pointless if I don’t want anyone to read it anyway. Lol.
