i had my lit paper today. the shakespeare and dickens' paper. knew it was going to be bad since i didn't really studied for it. only studied dickens. i was totally doing prac crit for shakespeare. and was really tied up for time. 1 hour per essay. had to write 3. was on the verge of giving up when i started the third one, but i just kept going. sitting on my left was Jen, who wrote like damn fast, half an essay ahead of me. and on my right was Zhiwei, 1 side behind me. then i looked at Nicol, who was diagonally in front of me. he's about the same speed as Jen. then i started panicking. but i realised that Zhiwei wasn't really panicking. so i remained calm. Zhiwei, of all people, don't use me to pace you. use nicol!!! it was quite funny how zhiwei was peering over at my scripts to see how much i've written and me looking over once in a while to reassure myself that nicol and jen are insane creastures who just keep writing non-stop. it's incredible how they do it. no planning, no nothing, just open the paper and start writing. while i was still planning my first essay, Jen had already done one side of his first essay. that guy's insane.
lunch with my class was cool!!! we went Dan Ryans and i thought the place was fabulous! food was value for money! only 10 bucks for a meal i'll never finish. it was sooooo filling and sooooo meaty. felt quite sinful after eating that. then we tricked the management that it was zhiwei's birthday! ok, we didn't trick them. zhiwei's birthday is really coming up by the way. so it didn't matter. but we still had to pay for the cake. sang a great birthday song for him! it had been a long time since the class gathered together. people who were there were namely, liling, nicol, nick poa, amels, wendy, liza, mags, mark, maurice, matthew, salman, zhiwei, boon hua, david charles and me! a pretty big group. it felt like prelims was over!!! but reality hits hard as we realise that there's still one more week of prelims to go through!!! stay cool everyone! we then took a half an hour walk to Sal's house under the scorching sun! told them to take bus but everyone refused to listen and they ended up complaining. but Sal's house was damn cool. we watched "Will & Grace", some gay comedy show. was damn funny! laughed my hearts out! Sal's place was real comfy and cool. Thanks sal for the kind hospitality!!! you rock!!!
realised that i need to organise my time for next week's papers. Hist P2 will be a BIG paper. heard that the paper is quite hard. oh well, just gotta start studying like now!
Cheerio!
