so much stuff to study............ Tuesday, November 25, 2008 had the first paper yest. and it was disastrous cos i cant finish the paper and cant do some of the questions. :( after the paper yest, i went home and got online for a few hours (!!) and zonk out after that, til this morning. omg. been awake for 2 hours already and am trying to start on palladium coupling. but i cant get anything in. i have to use the internet to check on wiki and journals cos i dont understand the notes, but when im online, it's very distracting and i hardly get anything done. -.- oh no. and worse, i felt as if my exams are over already. haha! my next paper is on next mon, in a week's time, which is quite some time away, but i have 3 papers next week. god bless me! Wednesday, November 19, 2008 imdiggingmyowngrave. my first paper is in 5 days' time. and i havent even finish studying half of it, 2 cue cards to write. calculations to practise. tons of stuff to memorise. and i havent start on my other modules yet. i need to concentrate and focus. and dont sleep so much. i can sleep til the afternoon omg. sigh. i dont know lar, somehow i have lost all my motivation to study, for this sem. Thursday, November 13, 2008 just finished reading through a journal article for cm3242. am supposed to review the techniques used and write 2 postive and 2 negative comments for the take-home test by fri night. but i dont understand what the heck the article is talking about. oh no. then today was spent trying to studying for cm3242. which has an insane amount of things to memorise. puke i totally have no idea how all the technques and instruments work, even after reading through the tb for the 438904201048th time. plus it's close book. -.- luckily we are allowed to bring in 2 cue cards, better than nothing i suppose. i think im going to squeeze in as much stuff as i can into the cards, so as to free up my brain space. haiz damn stressed. too much stuff to study, yet too little time left, and judging by the dismal grades i got for the term tests, i seriously need to work extremely hard. sigh, 尽力而为.. stop procrastinating and stay focused!!!!!!!!!!! Monday, November 10, 2008 i screwed up my expt big time. WTH. even though i managed to get some compound in the end. some of the ppl didnt. im 99% sure it's not the correct one. cos in btw the expt i got too flustered and missed out some steps. HAIZ. how careless can i get. but i guess the slight consolation is that i manage to scrape out some solids. better than nothing i suppose. just hope the markers dont do some nmr spectrum or melting point test, cos then they will definitely know mine is not the right compound. then again, since they are profs, one look they should be able to tell already, no? haiz whatever! and today i almost tripped and fell, not once, but thrice. and then during the practical exam today, my calculator died on me. WTH. so damn suay. luckily it's an open book exams and everyone were like talking to each other, so it's ok, i managed to borrow it from my neighbour. yeah i can totally forget about cm3291 for the rest of my lives now, not unless i fail then i got to retake lar. omg i am so sad. :( Saturday, November 08, 2008 Tuesday, November 04, 2008 do until i want to vomit blood seriously. my eyes have gotten worse, cos like staring at my laptop for hours and hours, trying to edit the report. but anw i need to rant. my project mates are nice people, except that they are kinda slipshod. my job is to compile everything and make sure everything flows. and end up i have to help them 收拾残局. from bibliography, to editing the subtitles of images. like i gave one of my project mate the format of bibliography, she just needs to follow the format, but end up she didnt follow what i gave her. and they just refused to add on the footnote and credits despite me reminding them many times to do so. can you believe it, i have to google to find out where they took their sources from, and the best thing is, they can label the date/year of the image wrongly. so i end up getting so gan cheong during the last hour of submission, trying to figure out what's wrong. BEST LOR. like hello, im not like im damn free ok, i have a test on fri which i have not even started studying yet. and family probs which i need to cope. im in huge mess right now, i dont know how im going to sit for my exams which is in 2 weeks' time. but what to do, if nobody's doing it, i have to do it right? and looks like i got to go to sch to print out the stuff myself tml. and yest lab was the worst lab day ever and i mean it, ok maybe i will take back my words when i have my practical test next mon. but anw i had a quiz which turned out to be close book. and viva on the day itself, and my tester was that china guy who refused to let us postpone our viva. wth! and im very irritated cos i keep getting missed calls from nuh but im in lab, how to ans calls? i took forever and ever to make my 4 derivatives. and it's damn stressful when you see people packing up and you are still stuck there, trying desperately to synthesize the compounds. and i couldnt get the last derivative, so i end up grabbing whatever solids i have with me and pass it off as my last derivatives. -.- and finally, hand in the stupid lab report by 6pm! omg, and i manage to finish it on the dot when the prof said time's up. yay. almost died in lab today. im seriously worried for my practical test next mon. haiz. it's freaking 30% ok. :( |
