Bear with it and soon it'll be over.

I dread next week.

But nothing's gonna stop time from ticking away so I might as well just grind my teeth and get down to it.

My cause and effect essay with referencing is due on Tuesday, and I have yet to start working on it. B. Tech journal's deadline is on Wednesday. Alright, so I've made a headway there, but my progress is somewhat disappointing. Thursday is the big day, our internal review for our final design project. Which I am working on, and let's just say that I still have a long way more to completion. And by Friday, I have to whip up 3 A3 sized sketches and an A4 sketch.

I get through each week by promising myself that it will get better somehow. Even though its all but a big fat lie. It never gets any better, but instead speeds downhill at a pace I find hard--no, impossible to keep up.

I'm caught between work, studies and rest. Relaxation is no longer a priority, it is a privilege.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about my life. I just need to get it out of my system -- the muddled thoughts and emotional exhaustion.

I can't even be bothered about trivial matters or insignificant people that give me a moment's annoyance, be it in real life or cyberspace. Time wasted can't be repurchased. And so, I shall give only important things and irreplaceable people in my life precious time, like my family, my boyfriend and my friends.

On a side note, I am no doubt elated to have done well in my recent quiz despite studying for slightly more than a day. I will do my best to make my parents proud -- it's the least I could do to repay them for bringing me up well :)

My results baffled me at first, to the point where I approached my tutor and asked him if he had indeed marked our papers properly. I honestly felt like there was some mistake in my results, considering the fact that I did not have a feel-good feeling after the quiz, but since everyone in class improved by leaps and bounds this time, it does seem like an overall upgrade, or in better sounding words, an overall improvement. Besides that, my assignment scores were pretty satisfying. Practice does make perfect, and hard work pays off well.

My life revolves around my studies now, so I apologise for going on and on about it. Mainly because that's the only thing I can blog about right now, because I don't think that you want to read about how infuriated I am about certain snippets of Budget 2011, particularly about the plans for the construction of a 100-storey building. It is rather stale news, but much less miserable than the recent tragedies and rising death rates.

Here's something that you might be interested in (if reading is your thing la), Lee Kuan Yew's eulogy. Many say that it is a political gimmick, but truth be told, political gimmick or not, it does seem heartfelt and sincere in my opinion. I devour the Insight section of the Sunday Star weekly without fail, and this is by far my favourite piece.

And on this note, I'll end my post. This is an extra long post (including the article) because I won't have the time to update for the following week. Till next time, au revoir!
