Life

I am finally done with year 3. Gosh it has been a mad run. Finished two actuarial papers yesterday and had a paper this morning. Needless to say, I didn't study much for today's paper and probably just passed.

Oh well, that's over and done with. =)

Hmm... oddly, this whole sense of having nothing to do feels so new. I keep feeling I am being lazy, I'm just wasting time and I should be studying or doing something. Then, I realised I have 4 long months of holiday!!!

Studying, worrying being pushed to the limits with assignments and tests for 5 long long LONG months really takes its toll or perhaps it's the degree.

I think I shall go off now and re-learn how to enjoy my holiday and actually not feel guilty for stepping outdoors, watching a little tv or even sleeping in. Gah.. I feel so deprived.

p.s. it totally dawned on me that sometimes I don't step outside the flat for days and when I do, it's either for grocery shopping or to do the laundry. -.- That feels really sad.

YAY ME!! I survived the 5 hours of exam on a SATURDAY! Whoopee!!! Bye bye probability theory, bye bye principles of finance! HAH!

Finished with mathematical programming 3 today which was okay. lalalaaa...

Next up, another killer two days. Gah! I can do thiS!! I feel so tired, seems as though I've lost the stamina to sit for endless exams. I feel old. >.<

Anyway, two actuarial papers on Thursday (stupid exam timetable), hope my brain will magically remember everything. According to lecturer, we're going to be rushed for time. Sigh.. guess I better practise writing really fast too. Then my last paper on Friday! Wheeee.... though I haven't revise for that. >.<

Four - five hours after thursday's exam to revise. Hope that will be enough. =)

I am happy, for now. Haha... probably get stressed out later with actuarial stuffs.

Tata for now! =)

I sat for my bayesian statistics and decision anaysis paper today. OMG! It was sooooooo long and we had two hours to complete three questions where questions are 3/4 and one question the full length of the page. GAH! Crazy!!

Plus, the questions are in paragraphs, i.e. chunks and chunks of words, no part(i), part(ii) etc. Only part(a) a whole chunk of perhaps 4-5 parts, part(b) another chunk etc. Basically, it's read question start writing, no time to think.

If you don't know and pause to think, you basically run out of time and have no time to finish. So so panicky and stressful!

I was rushing and rushing and there was one part which I didn't know and therefore I just simply wrote something down and skipped it.

When there was 2 minutes left, I finally managed to finish going through the paper, and went back to look at that question. I realised how to do but guess what, no time left! =( So sad lah!

Haiz... no time to check for mistakes and there were other parts which I didn't know how to do too! I think I need to not only study but also practise to write really really REALLY fast.

Now, joy to exams on Saturday, 5 hours in total. I am soooooo dead.

Yesterday was a scary day. For no obvious reason I suddenly felt unwell and the room was literally spinning. I opened my eyes whilst lying in bed and say the ceiling turn clockwise and anticlockwise while the lights moved up and down in a blurry manner. I thought this only happened in movies where they exaggerate things.

Thankfully I'm all better today. That was super scary and frightening! Needless to say, not much studying done.

4 days till exams....

Hope I'll manage to get everything into my brain and make sure it sticks somehow.

p.s. It is totally annoying when answers to past exam papers are not provided. How am I going to know if it's right or wrong? Gah!

10 days till exams! 7 papers, 9 days. I can do this! ^^

On another note, happy mothers' day to my dearest mum!
Glad you liked the flowers. It's the least I could do. =)

Back to studying.... Whee... ~ =P

Just received an email. Exam date changed from 6 weeks later to 2.5 weeks later!!

OMG!!

Such a drastic change! Didn't study for this module since the rest of the SIX papers I take is 2 weeks later and I have 2.5 weeks break after that for that module.

How am I going to finish revising for seven papers. This is not good at all. OMG... I'm freaking out. Can they do this?! Ahh!!!

p.s. the exam is scheduled on a Saturday afternoon right after my morning paper. Total of 5 hours of exam in a day. GAH!

My wisdom TEETH are growing. OW!
One grew out and three are growing at the same time. -.- Only one hurts but thankfully not too much.

On another note, exams in two weeks and I feel so out of it. I need to get studying!!

I had a dream and it was so complicated. -.-

It involved, darkness, fire, water, earth... so many elements. Gah.. I dislike dreams like these, leaves me so tired.

Finance and Financial Reporting revision class today, scheduled for 5 hours but ended up 3.5 hours. YAY! =P

During the afternoon session, the lecturer asked me a question. I was surprised and stunned since I was busy copying. It was a calculation question and I didn't know the answer. The conversation:

lecturer: What's the change of .......
me: Umm.... absolute or percentage change?
lecturer: Percentage change
me: Umm... I don't know

neighbour: XXX%
lecturer: What did he say?
me: Erm... (turns to neighbour) What did you say?
neighbour: XXX%

me: XXX%
lecturer whispering: what?
me whispering back: X X X %

lecturer still whispering: tell him he is right
me: *smile* and said nothing

Aiyerr!! So embarrassing. He went on to ask me two more questions after that. People were laughing and my friend thought it was so funny. I felt so flustered and it felt a little funny whispering back and forth with the lecturer in class. >.<
