Three Years & Counting!
Posted on: November 15, 2010
It’s horrible that I only shamelessly update once a month.
Actually I wish that I can update my blog everyday because I just have so much things to say all the time! But it’s either I am bogged down with work, too lazy, too sleepy, or simply too tired. And it’s not only my blog that is stagnant, my FB too! I only FB properly at least once a week but even so, I feel so lazy sometimes to reply wall messages. Which is really not good, because it is making me look like a hermit crab and I am so out of touch with everyone I know, really not funny.
And I notice that when I DO actually start blogging, all I blog about are my complaints about school or my work or the people I work with, or other things that annoy me in life, which is also really not good. Not good to spread negativity to my readers, nor to myself.
And I really really aimed to post snippets from classes and I failed to post even one day! And trust me, my classes are filled with crazy things people say. Which I really wished I could share with you guys, and due to my lack of updates, I have lost all my readers.
Anyway, I just want to tell you all that Cooqee is doing great now!
:)
It’s a long story but to sum it all up, she was badly traumatized when we sent her to another vet (closer to home, because we had no time) before leaving for Terengganu on a last minute basis, during my one week midterm break. I begged my dad to send her to her usual vet but my dad was in a horrible mood so.. yeah.
It took her a week plus to snap out of it. And I was really thankful that she recovered as soon as possible because she got so thin and limp-ish. Just imagine living with a zombie cat, lifeless and wobbling. It’s traumatizing for me too. Just imagine the added stress.
Honestly, I cannot wait for this semester to end. Finals are in 2 weeks and we still have 2 presentations left. Our study break was taken away because the lecturers think that we are ‘too pampered’. I really don’t see how ‘pampered’ we are or were this entire time, considering 2 research papers, a million reports, a million presentations and etc.
It’s not to say that I hate my course, oh God no, I love what I study. But the workload is pure sheer madness. Plus we have least holidays. And the worst and most annoying thing that people will tell me if I say that I hate the workload is.. Working life is harder than this. Or, when you do your Master’s, you will have 7 assignments to complete on the same day. It is so bloody frustrating to hear the same stupid thing again and again, if you don’t want to listen to me complain, then don’t ask me stupid questions and then start comparing what I study to others.
Eh, I am starting to rant again.
Anyway, I think I flunked my Brain research because my paper was all over the place, my Literature Review was PURE rubbish, my discussion.. Oh God forbid that none of my lecturers vomit blood when they read it. I don’t even know if my results are correct. The more I think about it, I feel that I should have done Independent Samples T-test instead of Chi Square.
Since when do I screw up and go blank when dealing with SPSS?
I cannot wait for this semester to end! This is the worst ever! I am so tired and burnt out from previous semester(S). I am half looking forward to next semester only because of Applied Developmental and half not looking forward because we have classes everyday! And only 2 weeks break till the following semester!
And now I’ve more to worry because I don’t even know if I can pass everything this time and keep my grades up! Too MUCH things to study and no study break.. Oh my.
Even worse still, my persuasive speech is on Tuesday and today is MONDAY, and I have not created my presentation slides or rehearsed. And it’s a topic that I am not confident in.
And do you know that, for the VERY first time, I actually fumbled during my Impromptu speech? I only spoke for 2 minutes and 27 seconds. Just shoot me. For my oral last time in high school, I spoke for what… over the 5-minute limit? And I was always shoved to the front to do impromptu presentations because I love to talk, and this… failure.
I started shaking like a leaf on a windy day after like what.. 1 minute?
SHAKING.
And my topic was actually.. fun. If I were invisible for a day, what would I do?
And I couldn’t come up with anything. No, I did. But LAME things. Like sitting in a cinema for as long as I want. What the hell?
Seriously, if I were invisible for a day, I would burn all our exam papers or.. steal Brain & Behaviour notes.
I really really would.

Okay. This is enough nonsense for now.
There you go, Yazzy. Something for you to read.

(P/S : How is SPSS treating you?)
