Buying: Pure Determination, Distilled.

I'm in sore need of it. I have a test in two days, and a project I don't know how to do due in 1 1/2 weeks, and what am I doing just blogging away instead of studying/working? Argh!!! I really wish I could actually be determined for once to do something, but I don't know why, maybe I'm not determined enough to be determined. Ironic...

The strange thing about college/university is that as it gets more interesting, it also gets a whole lot busier and progressively more hectic. But I guess one cannot exist without the other. Sigh...

Anyway, perhaps I should isolate myself from the computer in a futile effort to study. Too bad I can't do that for my project, cos the computer is required in it... >_> ciao~

Sore...

Yeah, I'm sore all over today... Went to gym yesterday, the funny thing was I didn't get sore till like almost exactly 24 hours later, then bam! I couldn't walk properly, I was that sore. Good thing I didn't have to walk up the hill through Albert Park to go back to campus, or I'd have died.

Met Justin for lunch today, haven't actually caught up with him for ages. It was quite fun, really, and I wasn't feeling sore then, so I didn't mind walking through Albert Park. And yes, he still smokes. I guess everyone has their vices. Like he said, "you have your caffeine, and I have my nicotine". Heh.

Projects are starting to come up. Got projects for all my subjects but Mechanics so far. Sigh...

Anyway, kind of tired. Ciao~

So Busy....

I guess I could say that college has finally begun in earnest. I just had a test for a maths paper last Wednesday, and its worth 10% of my final grade. And its based on the paper last year!!! I could barely even remember what I did last year, what more to say I could remember what I studied last year. Ah well, at least there's a resit in two weeks.

Also got like 2 assignments to complete this week, I think by next Wednesday. Sigh, it wouldn't be so bad if one of them wasn't a Engineering Design paper. They're making me do copious amounts of orthographic drawings, and I really hate it. So what if I don't have a great mental capability for 3D visualisation? Sue me, then.

As I've said before, Bio & Chem has got to be the easiest subject around. And oh, BE (Bachelor of Engineering) students have to do some weird English language competency test. Don't ask me why, but I think its so basic that anyone who fails should be deported, immediately. Ah well, I'm equally discriminative, so what?

Anyway, met this guy, Oliver, who's either in his 4th or 3rd year in college now (can't exactly recall). He was doing BioInfomatics before he decided that he might want to do a BE, and so he's in one BE 1st year class, Mechanics. And well, I reckon he's pretty cool. Old enough for me to feel like I can look up to him somewhat, but not too old that I would shun him =P

Right, gotta get back to my assignments. Ciao

BORIIIING

Yeah, my uni's dull. Orientation was a failure, in my opinion at least, and lectures are really really dull. Had trouble staying awake through any of them, with the exception of Mechanics. Math Modeling 2 was so boring that it was a miracle I made it through alive, although asleep. And yes, I have a test based on Math Modeling 1 next Wednesday. Serve me right for doing it last year. I really can't remember a thing from it. >_> Looks like I might fail the test, and it's worth 10% of my final grade even. Grr...

At least its kinda picking up, albeit a little too slow for my taste. Don't know what clubs I should join really, way too many to pick from. Don't exactly feel like joining purely Asian clubs, but then again, I'm at a loss, especially because I don't want to join the Drinking Club.

And I don't know what is it with all the first year classes wanting to give diagnostic tests. Like Bio/Chem. It was so simple that if I failed to ace it, I'd personally kick myself in the ass. Well, figuratively of course. But it was so unbelievably easy anyway. Like this:

Which of the following is not an organ?
a) Skin b) Lungs c)Large intestine d)Heart e)Muscle

Wow... that was hard wasn't it? You get the picture.

Anyway, gotta run. Lantern festival's being held all through this weekend. Maybe I'll go tomorrow night. Ciao.
