Rain Rain Go Away!

So, I biked home in the rain once again. It wasn’t raining at NUS and so I decided to carry on. Then there was little droplets of water and I proceeded thinking that it was nothing. Then it got bigger and by the time I was near home it was raining cats and dogs and I was drenched! Even then, I decided not to stop and put on my raincoat since I was so near… So near but yet so far… The rain felt like a million needles poking you, and it also felt like I was swimming in the antarticas. Oh well, at least I’m safe and dry and warm in the comfort of my room now. Ok, not quite warm since my new fan seems to be super powerful, even though I set it to the slowest speed.

Anyway, being the Economist that I am, I realise that people really do respond to incentives. Like duh! And sleep is one of the strongest motivators out there. I went to school early for lessons @ 9am. I was supposed to have lessons until 6, and then a project meeting at 630pm. However, the project meeting got cancelled, and so I was supposed to end at 6. Then I thought to myself, the tutorial at 5 to 6 can be skipped and I can go home at 4 to sleep since I have a break from 4 to 5. Further into my lessons I thought that the programming lab too could be skipped since I did not have much to do at the lab anyways so I could go home at 2! By the end of the lesson, I decided not to go for the Statistics lecture since the lecturer would put me to sleep anyway. So here I am, through the rain and at home @ 12! For a day that was supposed to end at 7+ and which ended @ 12 I think that is really good!

On a side note, I got 34/40 for my Econs Mid Term MCQ test, so I guess last minute studying really does pay off!

I am so dead!

I’m awake at 230am studying for my Econs test. Have already went through alittle but still need to refresh my theories and stuffs. Also, I need to watch the Liverpool match at 4am later, since I’m a die hard Liverpool fan and you would have to kill me to stop me from watching. That probably means that I would have to sleep at 6am… and wake up at 730am to prepare for school! Lessons start at 9am, and I have lessons from 9 to 4pm. After that, it’s 1 hour of “lunch” before a 1 hour tutorial at 5pm. So my lessons end at 6pm on Thursdays, but that’s not it for tomorrow, or should I say today! I have the dreaded Econs test at 630pm, which ends at 730pm. After that, I’ll probably come home, eat dinner and die on my bed.

Just a thought, Li Lin did said in The Leap Years movie that “it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all”. I wonder if I can synonymously say the same “it’s better to have studied and failed than never to have studied at all!”. Somehow, it just doesn’t have the same meaning when used in this context…
