would you rather i blog about what i did today? or what's on my mind?
hmm. well. the only thing that's on my mind is of the upcoming exams, but i'm probably thinking about the next time i'd get to sleep as well.
to tell you the truth, i'm actually scared of the promos. if you do well, you get into the dean's list. if you dont, you retake the year5 level. which i'd rather not. so it's either one of the two extremes. getting an 'average' grade isnt much use. it's just enough to get you promoted but not enough to do anything else. and with only 9 days left to the exams, i cant help but fear the exams.
i'm barely two subjects through. i'm working on such a tight schedule. if i dont manage to finish mugging everything, i'm as good as screwed. i dont think i'm actually smart enough to not study and do well. i think i'm just hardworking enough to cram everything before the exams and regurgitate everything during the paper. which isnt exactly the smartest exam strategy but it's the only one i can adopt.
with limited brainspace and unlimited distractions around the house, i need to lock myself in a room with cartons of red bull in order for me to get any work done. with no rooms available and no cartons of red bull in sight, all i can do now is cram as much as i can in my current state productivity.
to make matters worse, my mum wanted to view some exhibition (i guess you can call it that) for a condominium in toronto. no idea why she's thinking of buying a new house in canada but it's actually much closer to my sister's university, like 15 minutes away. but it's right smack in toronto city so the prices are insane. it's actually the tallest condo in canada. 70 over stories. and it's got wonderful views. but still grossly overpriced.
and after spending like half an hour looking through random stuff, we actually had lunch at mariott hotel. which is ALSO grossly overpriced. i ate a huge megalarge burger. and my mum had some spring chicken i think.
the receipt almost made me piss my pants.
anyways. i better get back to studying. my chemistry's half done (less than half done) and it's screaming my name.
