3 down 1 more to go!

what a relief... with financial reporting out of the way, i only have one more paper left! i am so excited though i am fatigued. i feel more energetic than tired after the paper. it was like PHEW! one more load off my shoulders.

now i have 5 full days till the official end of my exams. next up is finm3403, international financial management. yup. another toughie. =/ but i'll manage.. somehow i hope. gonna hit the law library tomorrow with huijun to study together. perhaps it may work out better that way in a group study situation. all the best to us man.

really, i can't wait for all these to be over! HEH. so well my housemate is already done with her exams. so on friday, when kevin finishes his papers, we're gonna go shopping and have dinner together. (ha i know. i'm taking one day's break) to give kevin a treat to thank him for helping us with the rental bond while we were still in search of another housemate for our 3br apartment next sem. so sweet of him huh? he even offered to pay for the rent till we manage to find the third person if he decided not to move in with us. oh wells, but astralyn will be moving in with us so he doesn't have to. nevertheless, we're grateful for his help...

i am so tired. i should stop. i need to sleeeeeep. damn it. the thought that van is going back to singapore this friday irks me. :( i wanna go home too... and NOW!

unproductivity

today is officially declared the most unproductive studying day! went to the law library at 3ish and stayed there till they just closed.

i've only managed to cover 2 lectures and i haven't commenced doing my tutorials! so that kinda sucks. i'm way behind schedule. pfft. that just means sleeping late tonight.

good thing was, instead of heading to bed earlier as i had intended to last night, i covered one more lecture while in my sleepy stupor. so that's one thumb up for me. made my life a little easier and allowed me to procrastinate and take a little more breaks. it was really tiring. and i was so sleepy despite the sufficient sleep.

i've been having problems getting to sleep so it kinda wastes time. and that's one of the reasons why i don't like to go to bed but when i finally fall asleep, i sleep for long hours. so that is even more time consuming. it all sucks. ha. but well, i had a good sleep last night. like finally after all the problems with sleeping.

i have so little time left. HOW?! i'm so afraid of not doing well. so many hopes pinned on me. pressure stinks!

took the safety bus home after vanessa and i couldn't find a place in the bio science library to continue our "mugging" so yep. :) i'm home! and i will attempt to continue studying. maybe i should give banking & lending a break? or maybe not. i don't know. we'll see my mood in a bit. for now, kudos.

xoxo,
Mary Ann

ADVANCED 21ST

brrrr... temperature's dropping, winter's here. here to stay. pffft. i just got back from church and just finished my sandwich for dinner.

now it's back to the books to conquer financial reporting and then it's over to banking and lending. i've got to finish everything! YES! smack it in my face please.

anyways, i had my advanced 21st birthday celebration yesterday with 13 others, totalling 14 of us! what a nice number yeah? well since i wouldn't be able to celebrate on that day itself, being the 14th, then well having 14 people gathered together isn't such a bad idea either! haha. the food was average in my opinion but it was more important that i had great company. the fact the 13 others were willing to take several hours out of their studying schedules for exams to celebrate my birthday for me and spend some time having dinner with me, i truly am grateful. there's nothing more i should ask for.

speaking of which, my lovelies bought me a new crumpler! awwww. so schweeet! yeap. so now i have a new addition to my crumpler family! hahaha. they got me a bigger one! YES! so i can bring it for camps and for short travels! yumyum. :D

alright. i should cut shot the blogging and get back to my books! haha. :D YAY!

PS: i've viewed my new unit and it's really cosy and nice! love it. left the moving. booo...

QUIZ-FREE!

right after financial reporting lecture today, went over to the bio science library with astralyn and we conquered our last cost accounting quiz! like finally! haha. astralyn managed a 28/30 in her first try while i got 23/30 so i had to go on with the second one. and then i got 27! yayy! haha. packed up and headed home. i was so hungry! only had cereal for the whole day.

cooked myself some yummy korean ramen (instant noodles) but i put in some kimchi base and kimchi, cabbage, tomatoes, crab meat and eggs! shiok-ness! but as i was halfway through finishing, i was soooo full! but well, it was too yummy and wasteful to throw it away so i stomached it all! wooohoo! now i'm so bloated. many hours after dinner and i still feel so up-to-the-brim. pfft.

i'm so sleepy tonight. i'm not sure if studying will be any good tonight but i'm gonna try for a bit before hitting the sack.

11 more days to finals! :(
