yes this is an update of my life.

restless mind not ready to go on and revise for the next three papers coming up next week. so i shall write about the second final paper i had couple of hours earlier. well, to start of, i disliked the 1pm to 3pm paper timing to be honest. rather have the 9am to 11am or the 5pm to 7pm slot. having the midday slot is tricky for i am always unsure how much should i commit to eating lol. should i eat lunch before paper and risk food coma during the paper? should i eat lunch only after 3pm? well in the end what i did was to snack every hour that i am awake until the start of the paper. well, it worked pretty well i guess. did not really feel hungry throughout the paper. the only thing was that i had to have a rather early dinner.. which leads to the fact that i probably would be having supper before i sleep tonight.. lol.

next, the paper itself was pretty easy i think and that is not a good sign at well. easy paper means simple mistakes might jolly cost a grade. easy paper means the bell curve will be insane. hell.. i think the bell curve will be more of a line.. vertical line at the right end. ohh wells, really hope that i can get at least an A- for this module to cushion the poorer results that i will be getting from my core modules. until next time then, cheers.

yes this is and update of my life.

surprise. i am updating here again in midst of my two weeks of finals. well, if you know me well enough you would know that only during the study week i am a hardcore mugger. however, once the first paper begins, i will start to take it slow on the revision and instead invest more on rest/sleep time. my personal belief is that the bulk of preparation, content wise at least, is done during the study week. yeah, the other part of preparation that is key to taking on finals would be resting. having an awake mind helps me a lot. that is why i will never understand how some people can survive on minimal amount of sleep prior to their papers and still do well. bless their genes.

so had my first paper last evening. walked out knowing i tried my best. that is the most important thing. don't like walking out thinking or feeling that i could have done better. no matter the results i guess it will be what i deserve. tomorrow will be the next paper.. a paper that i barely revised. well, that is due to the fact that there are not many practice questions to prepare me for what to expect tomorrow. no PYPs, not many tutorial questions. content wise also so vague and broad that i don't quite know what to focus on other than the few calculations and little content.

at the end of this week, i will be barely halfway through my finals. 5 finals but will be done with only 2 by this weekend.. lengthy finals period is kind of a norm for my major i guess. been numb to this shit since year 1. until next time then, cheers.

yes this is an update of my life.

life moves a little too fast and hectic at times. there will be signs to slow down and i am having some signs to take a decent day of mugging. though i cannot disregard my obligations to coaching my tutees, i have decided to not do any revision while i am home. just enjoy my weekends just a little bit before taking on the next 10 days or so with full energy and motivation.

yeah.. motivation. still searching for it though haha. i realised that over the past course of 5 weekdays that the amount of time i have invested into studying everyday is more than the amount of time i have invested into sleeping. while i am somewhat impressed with that lame personal achievement, i am shocked that i had to resort to such methods. then again, i did decide on taking 6 modules with 5 final exams at the start of this semester. mentally draining to be honest but i am glad a little more struggle and i will be done with this semester. next up will be focusing on my summer goals. until next time then, cheers.
