Everything that goes in, comes out.
How I wish this happens during exams so that the stuff that I crammed into my head will be fully utilised. But sadly, no.
My stomach seems to enjoy rejecting food a lot these few days. Uh, no no. I'm NOT suffering from any kind of eating disorders (if that's what you're thinking). It's just an irritating flu bug that decides to keep my body high by over-reacting to minor changes. It's annoying and tiring having to puke after every meal. Sigh. I wish that the medicine was more effective.
Missed school THREE days in a row. Wow, I bet this is the longest period of time I'm absent from school (other than the horrible flu I had in Sec 2). And now I think I can't catch up with school work again. T_T Hello econs? Can you speak more sense (cents) to me please?
After rushing in and out of the toilet for the whole of last night, I totally lost the sense of time and still thought that today was Thursday (this is how blur I can get). And I NEARLY forgot to hand in my H3 research paper. I was STILL at HOME at 4.28pm when I suddenly awoke from my daze of semi-consciousness. I HAD TO SUBMIT THE REPORT BY 5.00 PM SHARP TO NUS, FACULTY OF SCIENCE, LEVEL 9 DEAN'S OFFICE. If not, then hello FAIL grade on my A levels certificate.
Tell me, how brilliant can I get. I checked the calendar to make sure that it's really 11th Jan today and not 10th Jan. I never knew anyone more sotong than this. >_< Rushed all the way there. Luckily, 154 was already at the bus-stop when I got downstairs. Managed to reach there at exactly 5pm (how lucky I was) and the person-in-charge still had the cheek to smile at me and say 'how punctual'. o_O""
[Digress: Ouch my stomach hurts now. :(( When would it get better?]
Ok, as I was saying, with this burden off my back, I can finally welcome the report for christmas event after letting it rest for 20 days since 22nd Dec. Uh, and of course, stop procrastinating and START doing my overdued tutorials. It's the FIRST time that I owed school teachers work. T_T
20% more to go at the oral defence. They said that they're pushing it back to April, which is good I suppose, at least I can have more time to prepare during the March holidays.
But I would have to return the NUS library card to them soon. :( Just when Madeline, Mei Xiu and Xinyi got theirs. And it's kind of unfair because they can get to skip CCA without counting their absence into their final 80% attendance thing, but when I had to miss CCA last year to go for research module, my absence contributes to that 20% which means that I can't skip as many sessions of CCA as I'd like to this year. That's just so sad. :(
And I realised that it doesn't really matter when I started doing H3 - we end at the same time this year [!@@$%#@%#]. Yea, it just dawned on me after getting the news that they wanted to push back oral defence to April for this year, which is when the others are going to take their written exams as well.
H3-SRP is just so not worth it. It just wastes LOTS and LOTS of your time that could have been put to better use. And to make matters worse, it doesn't help if you're the only ONE from your school under this program for the FIRST time in the school's history of 33 years, coupled with an attachment with a very dedicated (so not) mentor that is not under NUS at all. This means that everytime you receive an update from NUS about deadlines etc, you have to 1) forward to your teacher-advisor in school and 2) forward to your mentor (who obviously doesn't read emails at all, or he chooses to be blind to all emails sent by Jane). This is how 'well-established' the co-ordination system in NUS is.
And here's another difference I'd noticed. When I tell my CCA leaders, "Hey I can't go for cca tomorrow, 'cause I have to meet up with my mentor to discuss my H3-SRP." They'll just say 'huh?' followed by 'very important meh? meet other time la, you already know tomorrow got cca still meet for what?' As compared to my other friend, "Hey I have to attend H3 lecture tomorrow, can't make it for cca." The cca leaders :"ok, will take note" and EXCUSE her. That's so unfair. :( And by the way, I CAN'T CHOOSE WHEN I WANT TO MEET MY MENTOR. He's such a freaking busy guy, he set a date for me and see whether I can go and meet him. If can, good. Then my project can progress. If cannot, then too bad, and I'll be stuck where I had been until probably 1 or 2 months later.
Being the odd one out feels quite horrible.

EDIT: This sounds so much like a complain entry to me. LOL. But hey, that's the truth! And I'm in a not-so-positive mood now (though I've FINALLY submitted my report and there won't be any more late nights) since my stomach decides to play merry-go-round with my dinner. It's churning like crazy and the taste of magnesium carbonate after every meal is yuckkyy.
