It's been around 2 weeks since I last blogged. Term is coming to an end this Thursday and I'll be having exams from 24 Apr. This semester seems to pass by fairly quickly; one of the reasons is probably of projects and presentations - ya know, as you start to rush to meet deadlines and you hit one after another, time passes before you know it.
I am getting a little tired - my semester begun immediately upon my return from HK and there appeared to be no real break for me in-between. I am just hoping this semester will pass by quickly as I can't wait for the holidays to come so that I can rush to complete my projects and at the same time, engage in something meaningful - example, helping out in the chemistry olympiad training.
Had a 2nd bioinorganic test today and it's worth 20%. I kinda screw up in it as usual as I "refuse" to remember some of the obvious stuff. My only consolation is that I did well in the first test (worth another 20%) but the problem is everyone did very well in that test too. So no reason to be over the moon over it. I never like test that is not able to spread the students out.
Poor Emily dear is staying back in school again to complete her projects. She has a couple of projects which require her to work in the computer labs and thus she needs to work overtime. I watched her group's project on amphibious vehicle last Friday. It was pretty interesting and worked fine, just that it moved a little too slow. I can never imagine myself creating a vehicle that can move. Engineering was never my cup of tea, I guess.
I am not sure how I am going to survive with 3 exams in a row (24th to 26th Apr) but I hope things will turn out fine. Luckily Natural products is on 2 May, which leaves me a couple of days to revise. Tmr will be the final day for bioorganic presentation; Dr. Lu is probably going to brief us on exams stuff after that. Tmr will also be Chemical Sciences Society's exam discussion day - I'll be going there both to help out and to catch up with my juniors. Thursday will be a big day for most of my cohort people as it's the Honours symposium. I'm suppose to go and sit in; well, I'm actually not very comfortable in attending it. The consolation is that big shots like Nicolaou, Stang and Hahn are giving a talk on that day.
I have always hear people using the argument that "there is always 2 sides to a coin". But if you think carefully, life is not a piece of pancake and there are many facet to it. No wonder Forrest Gump remarked that "Life is just like a box of chocolate, you'll never know what you're gonna get". Clearly, the world is 3-dimensional and many a times, there are many ways to assess a situation.
