desperate for time.
"for every hour of class time, you are expected to have two hours of revision time for each subject." yep. this is how i'm pressed for time. a 2 hour lecture means 6 hours of revision and that means...i'm already 12hours behind for intro to psychII and 12hours for statistics. fantastic!
for the first time in my life i have to drag myself down to school though i'm really feeling under the weather. sorethroat, flu and clamminess dont seemed to be good enough reasons to skip lessons anymore because the course is so intensive that one missed lecture means one whole chapter on my own. i cannot afford that. i still stop myself to ask if i am pushing too hard and the answer, honestly, is no. so right now i'm praying that i'll miraculously get well over the weekend cos i can't afford to be spending time recuperating anymore.
got to choose our electives yesterday! had quite a few interesting modules to select from and between neuroscience and principles of counselling, i chose the latter. though i'm really interested in neuroscience, realistically i think the interest alone will not be able to sustain me throughout the whole course. think i'll go mad studying the anatomy of the brain. should probably equip myself with counselling skills since i'm planning on heading towards counselling or clinical psych. ok enough about school! gosh i'm so boring. ok off to more interesting highlights.
i watched poseidon! ok this is old news considering i watched tt 2 weeks ago but ANYWAY. the effects are really good and it's powered with excitement throughout the whole show. oh oh and the dialogues are really smart. plus josh lucas (for the last time,
NOT george lucas.) looks really hot. ha! 2days after watching poseidon i went cruising! the trip was really laid back, ate alot, jacuzzi-ed alot, read a little, didn't really suntan much though i did try. the stopover at redang was a major turn off. all i can say is:
redang is seriously overrated. there's like absolutely no way you can relax and unwind cos every minute music is blasting from the amplifier, children screaming, pple running around. -.- yeah the water is clear but filled with rocky corals in the shallow waters. definitely not enjoyable.
then it was davinci. as usual the book is more enjoyable than the movie itself. felt that the ending is a little anticlimax cos it ended quite abruptly. can imagine a sign being put up at the louvre anytime soon: The DaVinci Code is just a movie, please do not break our floors, Mary Magdelene's tomb does
not reside here. Thank you for your cooperation.
caught xmen 3 on wednesday and yup, it was good! tho i was hoping for more characters to appear and show true potential instead of them dying 20mins into the show, turning psychotic and getting cured. but anyhoo! storm is really really cool! frankly speaking she could've singlehandedly won the whole war by electrocuting everyone in the vicinity. come on, she controls an
element! ohwell it's logical to tone down her powers. for full understanding of the drastic damage she could have caused, please consult One Piece's character
Eneru in the Skypiea arc.
so! after a month of hiatus, i've studied enough hours to make me sick (it's still not
enough enought), i've watched a record of 3movies in 2 weeks, went on my dreamcruise, ate alot, played arcade and finally succumbing to the flu virus. thats about all i did so i guess you haven't really missed much. now i'm going back to studying hell lots of hours to make me sick again. wish me luck!
