eye bagged

another late night! this is the first time i'm blogging on my lappy, in hall! and it's only because my daddy's arriving soon to pick me home.. haha yes crazy hours.

glad i went for mini-class-gathering today and met up with people i haven't seen in quite awhile! it also put things in perspective: how much harder i have to work to be as pro as math-whizzes.. i wonder how they get there. but the thing that struck me today was what a senior said, and how the mindsets are so different!

"You don't need to take all the time they give you during the tests. It's definitely enough (to do all the questions you actually know how to do)."

The moment i realised that was what was meant, i wanted to burst out laughing! ok i think yh did.. because it's so different from what we're used to, i.e. taking up all the time and being able to do all the questions! i'd never want to convert to the above-mentioned mindset because it's so, well, for lack of a better word, complacent! It feels like you're not giving it your best shot, because the best guarantee of your grades is to get full marks.. seem elitist? even more ironic that it was a dean-lister talking.. but i guess because it's a bell-curve, that point-of-view can be understood! still, i can't get my mind around that. Quite irritated about my essay getting a B.. need to start working on the second essay after midterms are done! and plan like study time per module per week apart from what i need to do/submit.. i want to be better!!

then again more stuff needs to be settled too =) uni life is quite interesting. esp hall! i think without hall i'd probably be bored OR have found a different way to occupy my time. need an external cca! find me one or hope one drops in my lap (quite hard). rawr.
