Was browsing through my org mid terms and I realized how much of a fool I am. I have no idea what was going through my mind at that point of time. It was not that difficult after all. Nevertheless, a last chance to redeem my mediocre grades - finals tomorrow. And a paper a day for the next consecutive 4 days before a final paper on 6th May. After which I all geared for holidays. Sad to say I still have special sem which jeopardize my chances at double major if I dont do it but nonetheless there's SOW! Woo!Friday, April 23, 2010, 9:39 PM
Gearing up for exams with lots of smilies for encouragement :)Tuesday, April 20, 2010, 1:47 PM
If you ever played DOTA you'll understand this statement. "Organic Chem is just like a Centaur Chieftain with lvl 4 Return and armed with 6 blade mails" - MelvisI dont know if this applies to anyone else but the more I study it the more confused I become. It is on a total different class of difficulty. To summarise, you have to consider which functional group will react, what reagents to use and finally how your product will turn out to be (stereochemistry) which requires a certain degree of visualisation. To think that it was my favourite topic during JC.
Before the any FoE students challenge me with that statement, to clarify, I meant within the chemistry modules only. When I looked at the questions, my mind just went blank, as though I've never studied it at all.

So the issue (refer to 2 posts earlier) was brought up to the professor and it has escalated into a big hoo-ha. One was remorseful, she understands that she has not put in much effort into the report and presentation. However, the other was more troublesome. She has the audacity to claim that she did put in equal amount of effort into the report! To be honest, she did contribute some ideas, none of which we used because they were deemed not feasible at all. I recognize her effort to try to do something, but to equate the amount of work she did to what we did would be too much. Besides, none of her words went into the report!
This is exactly why I hesitated to bring the issue to the prof's notice initially. It not only sours relationship/friendship, but also more trouble when they choose to rebut your opinion. The things people are capable of doing when they are drived up the wall are amazing.

Really in some deep shit now. 25/100 for org test. Think that's a F?Wednesday, April 14, 2010, 5:33 PM
Lugging the Clayden organic chemistry textbook around in school has become my exercise for the week. Its so heavy its giving my arms a good workout.Tuesday, April 13, 2010, 7:00 PM
Presentation was a disaster as I predicted. Oh well, I guess Im not born to talk in front of an audience but I was really awed by some of my classmate. No script and they present as though they were conversing which made me appear like a total noob. Cant expect any lesser, NUS business school is one of the top business school in asia as they marketed themselves to be. Im wondering if Im able to do it for all my other 3 level 3000 biz modules.Not only that, I think Im screwed big time. Report was almost in the wrong direction and there's only 3 days to revise it. I dont know I should identify the two slackers who didnt contribute a single word to the report as the main culprits but I thought it was rather irresponsible to dump it on the other members and claim that you have other commitments to fulfill. Who doesnt? I've already sacrificed many hours of revision for my darned up organic chem to do this report. This is not the first time I have experienced this and to be honest Im getting sick and tired of getting such group members for projects. Any comments are appreciated.

Stress level is at a all time high. I've tried to go to sleep for at least three times but it was all in vain. Two tests later and a presentation next tuesday which Im incredible worried about.Monday, April 05, 2010, 8:40 PM
Preparations for intensive mugging sessions: 12 bottles of Brand's Chicken Essence, courtesy of my parents. Not limited to 12 bottles only, I suppose.
