Road to temporary freedom
Tuesday, June 06, 2006 Just 2 mins ago, I was bumming at Roy's blog, reading his latest post, about this time of the year where everybody around you in the Uni are busy like worker bee trying to meet up its quota, mad like crazy professor attempting to transform a frog to a dog, worryng like a hamster inside its own cave waiting for the big fat cat to go away, and so on. Here, i would like to quote my cousin bro a lil, "yes yes i know they are worried, but then i look at myself(yes me!)..im a student too! and what am i doing? -reading blogs and all non-exam related stuff from the infinite depths of the internet...", (See, 2006). I am feeling exactly the same like him.. the only few differences between me n him, n maybe other students is that, first, I am a postgraduate student, hence, higher difficulty in terms of assessment n consequences to follow on. Second, I do not have exams, HOORAY!!!, but.. i have many many other major assignments in return. Third, although i have more flexible timeline for me to deal with my assessment, i very much prefer examination (i often score better in exams than major assignments). Fourth, i know that all of you would argue that "I also have assignments what, quite major also *insert ahbeng ah lian slang", well i agree on taht, but when i mentioned "major" here, i meant 3000 words n above, n mind you.. i have plenty of those. Fifth, most of the assignments are not structured, as in.. it's not instructed properly, it's free for all, as in, the lecturer allows you to do whatever you want as long as it;'s relevant to the course, n in return he/she will be 200% more strict on the marking, n nope, it's not a choice, it's compulsary for all of us to follow that "structure".. (where's my old sweet spoonfeeding method of education? lol) Anyway, what i m trying to say here is that, yes, as usual, just like the normal me, i m as calm as mount everest (ignore the avalanche once in awhile) even though i m so much closer to the end of the semester. So, yeah, right now right here, i m announcing that i m officially in deep shit (not so much of literally), but metaphorically, yes i m pretty swarmed right now. Official count of words to crunch out before 24th of June = approximately 13-14k. Sighz. Well, i m not completely unprepared n procrastinated this time, i have at least 3 skeletons for the assignments up n ready now, just waiting for me to go to the organ bank of knowledge n pick up the appropriate parts n pieces of flesh and bloods for my skeletons to be up n running. Now, it's easy to talk about it, but to actually enter deep down into my own library of thoughts n pick up stuffs n essences that are useful, that's something super difficult. The whole process involves, tons n tons of filtering, rearranging of materials (as i do not have a very good search engine in me), choosing, and finally producing something out of the gigantic library of nonsense in my mind. I've always been good in drawing the outline of something, a skeleton of something, a framework of something, but i am not so much of a filler type. Since young, i always like to sketch, but when comes to coloring n the whole process of completing a drawing by enriching it with colors, i sux, n i often turn the whole masterpiece into junkiepiece (tho i m often lucky, accidentally won some drawing contests before, :P) Maybe it's because of my personality, maybe it's because of my style of thinking, maybe it's because of my blood type, maybe it's because of my upbringing, i do not have an answer for that.. but yeah, i m a skeleton guy. So now, tho i have some skeletons up already, i still need to dug up 13 thousands clusters of visual information that made out of horrible looking symbols/icons called alphabets.. Oh damn.. i hate romanic alphabets, n the words that consists of those things..  13k words more to go.. till i finally achieve my temporary freedom.. wish me luck man, i really need that. leaving skool f-r3d at 7:45 PM 1 pokies {WTFPWNKTHXBYE} |
