Suddenly, I got the feeling that time is running out, that there isn’t much time left before the start of my first paper. That’s a really scary waking up call. Yes, it’s time to stop lazing around, Huimei!
Haven’t been able to do much of reading up for the past few days, no idea why. The only accomplishment? I finally managed to finish writing my notes for the Database module. Ahh, 21 pieces of a4 size paper, that’s 42 pages! :D Plus the previous 32 pages I had written for my midterm, I’ll have 74 pages to read. Gahh, not fun.
Like what my friend said, progressing slowly is better than being stagnant, not moving at all. How true, I thought.
I tried doing my tutorials for the Database module for the very first time. Not really that bad, I say. I managed to figure out what I know and what I still don’t. *pats self*
That’s my first ever level 3000 module, I definitely don’t want to screw it up. The Prof said that the finals would be a much tougher paper. I’m praying hard that he’s just trying to scare us. :D See how positive I am. Hah! Nah, let’s be a little realistic. Tougher? Maybe not. Much trickier? I guess so. Thus, I have to get all my concepts right!
Off to bed now. Back to books tomorrow. Did I mention that my sis had her last paper today? I’ll still have to wait for another two weeks. *pouts*
Continue to wish me luck! :D

It annoys me a lot when friends borrowed my notes, and returned them to me, crumpled. I know it’s just a set of notes in their eyes. But to me, it’s more than that. It a set of notes with lots of thoughts, love and well-wishing. To have a friend, who cares about you, taking the trouble to take down the important notes legibly, initiating to photocopy them for you is just so so so rare. And guess what? I have that friend!
And there goes the guys, borrowing that set of notes from me, and treating it like dirt, with minimal respect to it. Just when I though it’s simply basic courtesy to return things you borrow in the same condition they were in when you borrowed them, I got the notes back, really crumpled. Honestly, it aches my heart to see the state the notes were in. I mean, even if the guys were to give me the newly photocopied version, I wouldn’t want it either. After all, it’s not the same. That original copy was from a really really nice and thoughtful friend.
I mean, this is definitely not the first time. But it annoys me a lot this time round, because I treasure that set of notes. I’m not sure if it’s the same for everyone else, but I do really treasure everything given or done by a friend, however insignificant the gift or thought might seem to be. My programming partner gave me 2 packets of my favourite candies. She’s observant enough to know that I love grape and blackcurrant flavoured candies. And got me one of each. Really sweet, I say. And know what? I can’t bear to eat them though I’m much of a candy addict.
Anyway, just in case anyone care to know. I’m still uncertain about the golden opportunity thing. I haven’t received any calls for weeks. My guess is that it’s either pending, or the intended caller just doesn’t want to break me away from my concentration for the examination preparation. First paper on the 25th. No, make that first two papers. Gahh, got to work really hard. :)
