haven't blogged like for more than 1 wk le. a bit unlike me, but i have been super busy. busy with what? hmm... studies, hall activities...
time is just not enough. already sleeping like only 6-7 hrs a day during the week, yet i find myself still bogged down by my tutorials and readings.
due to lack of sleep, i have been dozing off during lectures, even though to a minimal extent. sometimes i even dozed off during tutorials, which i think was very disrespectful to the tutors. must really get rid of this dozing off habit before my body really becomes accustomed to dozing off during classes. so i have to sleep at least 7 hours a day. i must really keep to this, otherwise i dun think i can stop dozing off. but now during recess wk, i will sleep at least 8 hrs a day, to sort off pay off some of the sleep debts i have incurred during the past few wks.
this recess wk, i would be preparing formally for 2 tests, CS2102 on wk 7, and EE2006 on wk 8. as for EE2009's e-test, i would also prepare for it. although EE2005 doesn't have a mid-term test, i would still revise it, so that i can prepare myself better for the 2nd half of the course.
during this recess wk, there would be times that i have to put down my books. firstly, jiacheng's special event; as a friend, i have to help out in his special day. 2ndly, geok's bdae. would be celebrating her birthday with the rest of the OG before her birthday comes, cuz it would be quite tiring if we celebrate her birthday on friday, and also i think that day should be left to her special one :) 3rdly, yl's tp test. very important to her, just as impt to me when i first took the test which i failed :( got to go give moral support. even if she fails, at least i would be there to console her. but of course, i would hope that she passes, and the day wouldn't be a gloomy one :)
seems like time management would be a very crucial factor to my results. and i do admit that. have to manage my time well, and luckily i only have 2 closed book upcoming mid term tests, which is considered few compared to my past 2 sems, when i had to study for 4 tests during the mid-term break. consider myself lucky or what, god is somehow helping me. but then, i know i cannot slack, if not my results for this sem would be greatly affected. i still want my SAP 5, i still want to go back closer to CAP 5.
all i can say is that i have to manage my time really well this sem, much better than before, because of additional commitments.
now i am using a loan phone Ericsson T68, cuz i have sent my phone for repair due to a sudden failure of some buttons. although T68 was my second phone, but it is rather irritating to use such a low-end phone. technology sometimes really disrupts my life...
talking about phones, i am thinking about changing my mobile plan, instead of sticking to the current classic plan which i pay only 14 bucks a month. a surge in calling times and messaging counts... my last month's bill almost hit 50 bucks, which i think was quite a lot, even though i tried to restrict my phone usage le. i think this month (13 sept to 12 oct) would be worse. jialat, man. dunno why my mum still hasn't questioned me about my phone bill yet, maybe she hasn't really read it, or she is just insensitive to this kind of "small money", which i dun think so. have to really restrict myself from messaging so much le. if not, my parents would really notice the sudden surge in my phone bill... then i would have a lot to explain le, which i really dread, cuz i dun want to tell lies...
hmm, still have a project to do, though i think cannot do much abt it now during this wk, cuz my other group members shouldn't be too free. so maybe wk 7 would be a fine time to start working on it.
ok i really need to go back to my books, complete all tutorials due on wk 7 by sunday nite, and get started on my revision on monday morning.
加油,大家 and myself!
