Exam stress....... but there's still hope

Sigh, after two days of exams in a row, today was a well-awarded break. Just a little time to catch my breath in the midst of all the exam hoo-hah. Yesterday was especially tiring, with two exams in a day. We started off with Physics Practical, which stressed me to the end, seeing as I had not enough time to complete the paper properly. I was doubting my answers, but too bad, I had no time to fix it. After that stressing period, I had quarantine to look forward too. Oh joy.

In quarantine, it was havoc, the noise level was at a constant high level. Nevertheless, I knew that would not affect me, but my weariness caught on. It seems that the stress caused in the Physics Practical has sucked dry a large portion of my energy, the backup I was counting on to keep me going for the Mechanics paper. As I was doing the Mechanics questions in quarantine, my frustration built as gradually I started getting more and more wrong answers. I knew my limits and this one flashed a big warning sign. I was worried about the consequences of me being so strained and no longer alert. I knew sleep was the answer but where would I get it? In the reading room? I highly doubt so.

Just as I was looking around the room towards the end of our quarantine, I caught Jin Soon’s eye. He waved and I waved back. I mouthed with some hand motions, “ Can I go your house and sleep? “ . surprisingly he mouthed back “ Ok.” I was stunned for a moment, it was an unbelievably sweet gesture, seeing that we’re not actually close and had never had real proper conversations sans a big group. But I know Jin Soon is a real sweet and caring guy and I’m so thankful for him.

Though I didn’t fall asleep in his house, the rest that I got was priceless. I could feel that my mind was all clear and I was no longer weary. Mechanics paper went great, I could answer all the questions, although this semester I know I haven’t been so religious in paying attention in class as I normally would have been. I owe it all to Jin Soon, and most importantly God’s grace. Wow, it all worked out well.

Other than that, nothing much has happened. Today wasn’t a good study day. I think I let the rest get to me by letting my laziness overcome my behavior. Oh well, tomorrow will, hopefully, be better. Today is my and sweet Jia Liang’s 7th month anniversary. Yay us.

another dull study day

Nothing interesting is happening nowadays. Everyday it's wake up, dilly dally, study a little, watch TV alot, eat, sleep. Argh can't wait for exams to be over. My eyes aren't cooperating, which makes it that teeny bit tougher too. Sigh.

Jia has been getting pissy these past few days, he owes it to not being able to see me. I can't do much about it as stuff keeps cropping up, I have to study, Papa's at home, etc. What am I to do right? Besides I guess we shouldn't be seeing each other so often as we really need to take a whole bunch of our time to study. But I do miss him so. Sigh.

As it is January, I am quite eager to check out the new intake. I actually get like this at every intake, anxious to see if the new intake brings in fresh meat aka hotties or any potential competition. We shall see, as tomorrow I'm heading back to college for a little revision class. Hmmm... this should be interesting. A good deal of primming should be done tomorrow, I do want to look good when I walk into a room full of new people to meet. Maybe a few potential friends in the crowd? I hope.

I've been putting back on the weight in my tummy area. Oh darn. So much for looking all slim tomorrow. Haha.
