Sighz... I have to complain
Sighz... there is just too much work to be done. It's my last sem, so I know that I should not complain, but it's so stressful right now that I just wish the whole sem is over...
Ok cheerios then.
I have 2 s/u left, so I am prepared to use one on the New Media and Society module. Strangely enough, I did finish a couple of readings for a couple of lessons, but I dun understand much of it. I never EVER finished any readings for ONE lesson in my past NUS life. But this is the only arts module that I honestly left LOST after readings... I meant, it is my own fault when I could not catch up with jap studies because I never read those readings until exams (which was a diseaster), but after reading them I can sort of understand. But this??!! I can't understand left right and centre lah. Makes me scared that I have TO WORK HARD TO GET A C for this module... cannot slack at all. Sian.
Anyway, the test on mon was a total screwed up. There is a essay question at the back about how information society works and bla bla bla, and I ended up talking about Obama and McCain. YUP, YOU READ CORRECTLY. There is a part on politics in the reading (I am sure of that), but Obama and McCain??!! I just totally stretched the whole point beyond reason! I am sure that whoever marking that part of my paper is going to laugh his/ her head off!
I guess maybe being in a business fac for too long makes you think very business-y. Cannot really twist your thinking to an art-sy view. I dun have trouble for sociology (I did well enough), but these 2 arts modules are just killing me...
AND FINANCIAL MARKETS.... Prof was teaching stuff left right and centre, and my head becomes a total mess after each lesson. Aiyo, IA was bad, but at least I know what I am supposed to learn. Not to FM though. Sometimes Prof was in a bad mood... you can tell how the whole class feels after that lesson. (all that grumbling...)
But strangely enough, she was in a total good mood on the tuesday that just passed. Smiling, teaching us patiently, and no mood flares. I can ask her question somemore without much fear. And when she found out that I did not print the group's presentations out, I told her that I can't open it because it's in 2007 ppt (thanks to irene, I got that answer prepared), she SMILED at me and told me that she will upload a 2003 version. I dun think I can get that kind of treatment on any other days loh...
And next tuesday is FM mid term and it's 40% of the grade lah. Scary lah.... took me a long time to get certain facts right. And I still have problems calculating future price, hedging, plus I still dun get the differences between unit trust, ETFs and mutual funds. (Are mutual funds supposed to be just open end or both close and open end??) Die lah... I have to really draw on my birthday luck loh...
Anyway, Irene bought an Anna Sui's eyeliner on the robinson's expo sale. Looks good, does not smudge. But this morning she said very hard to sharpen. Hmm, I want a non-smudge eyeliner leh that is not liquid. Still thinking whether I should buy... I also looking for a good set make up brushes because I have been using fingers to apply (haha) and I also thought that I should get good foundation brushes because or else I have nothing to blend once I buy foundation!! (yup yup you can say I have everything possible but I dun have the most important one) And I already decided that I shall get shades once the whole sem is over =)
Anyway, I finally got my Clarin's membership card after more than one month.
Contrary to popular belief, I did not buy a lot of their things! I just buy enough to qualify for their membership (and buy them all at one go ;) ) And it is made from plants extracts, which I like ;)
LOL... I am buying more stuff during my birthday month! Happy...
Well, at least there is something I can be happy about. After a long complaint post. Haha!
I have to get ready to go tuition soon, and give the kids their children's day presents. Missed tuesday tuition because I have a bad headache (and I missed the IE outing at the same time *sad*). Probably due to the lack of sleep in that 2 days. Anyway, the kids are very nice and cute. Plus the parents are very understanding. Lets me cancel on them so many times (haha)...
Ok cheerios then.
