having 2 killer midterms in two consecutive days isn't exactly very healthy for the brain....nor the heart... both my midterms left me highly traumatised and if i thought my econ 119 midterm was bad last week then i dunno what i can use to describe the two this week..... well but of course i think i am partly at fault too.... maybe i didn't understand my material all that well too... but there really wasn't time to complete both midterms.... my GSI joked that i could write off questions 2 and 3 for my econ 182 midterm... hmmm wonder if he also thought that those were beyond us and judging from how he usually criticises the professor... i think this killer midterm would leave lotsa room for students to complain and i wun be surprised if in our next section both GSI and indignant students engage in some professor-bitching...sigh dun even want to think about what i would get for my midterms.. shall just enjoy my happiness now while i can.....

feel somewhat inspired to study when after i went for office hours at the I-house cafe i was really drawn by the cosy and comfy atmosphere there.... its a little like FSM cafe, well just that it is a lot less crowded... and there's music too... but eventually i got too distracted by the music that was playing.. maybe it was KOIT 96.5...can't wait for my 2 midterms to be over... cos i hav lotsa things i want to do... i have to go to the history of art dept to see what their R and C classes are like, cos the English R1b classes dun seem as appealing as i thought they will be... then should prob try to find out more stuff abotu EAP if i am really serious about it... and go to the IAS office to see what PEIS coursees they offer next sem......
can't decide what i should do for thanksgiving either.... should i go LA with shiying and melvin or go oregon and portland and seattle road trip with ziyang and dunno who else or stay here and try to study for jap orals and other subjects for the whole weekend and bum..... all of them hav drawbacks and perks so i really can't decide... =( always feel terrible and helpless when i can't decide.... got a nice icq msg from shing who tried cheering me up!! =) really glad that i am going back to sg in 2 months time!!! after 1 year away from home.... but there is this lurking fear in me that i might be so accustomed to life here already that i might actually find it strange back home.

ziyang let me drive his car today and so i drove alone to ranch and the feeling of having a car and being able to go wherever you want to was really pleasant.... haha albeit it wasn't my car. but still felt a little paranoid nonetheless cos after all i haven't driven for near to two months and thus was prone to accidents and stuff. cable guy came this mroning to install the cable box... so yay now we hav 5 HBO channels for and additional $1 per month... and cooked chicken herbal soup this afternoon and i hav such a huge pot of soup i prob hav to eat it for lunch or dinenr tmr as well... did some studying for my econ 182 midterm and though i managed to review a few chapters my progress was painfully slow.... aargh! at this rate i dun tihink i wil be able to finish studying.... but at least i did get a little work done today.. yay!! =) hope tmr will be more productive....oh forgot to add.. shiying called me to ask if i wanted to go out for dinner and though i had to reject her i felt really nice she asked...
