A really long post of my hectic week!!!
    - Saturday, November 11, 2006

Been such a long week...Finally finished my counselling presentation, my Sociology of Tourism term paper and a Psychometrics quiz...

It was such a stressful week...Spent the whole of Monday meeting up with my project mates and doing up the slides for our presentation. Luckily we were all so determined to finish it on that day so yeah, everyone put in alot of effort, the slides were done up and we were ready to present on Thursday!

The Tourism term paper was not that easy though..We met up on Monday evening to settle the parts of who does what and then we all had to go back and do our parts and then meet on Thursday evening to combine everything together. Me and Trish stayed in CK's room from 4pm-2am!9 whole freaking hours!!It was seriously crazy man..but we finally finished most of it, with CK and Trish meeting on Friday morning to finish up the conclusion and do last minute editing so as to meet the deadline of 12pm on Friday! I am SO SO GLAD we could pull through this awfully difficult paper...I really count myself lucky to be grouped with the both of them,they are really fun people to work with...We laughed so hard in CK's room but we also worked really hard...Put Trish and CK together and you get a really wild combination..Not too confident about this paper though..just hope we can get a B+!=)

All thanks to Marcus for offering to send me back after that...he came by to pick me up at about 2am and then when I got home, I went to study a little for my quiz before going to bed...Had to wake up at 6.30am the next morning for my QUIZ!!I was damn scared about it actually...cos throughout the week,I just read through my notes with any spare time I had so was not too confident about it too...

On friday morning, I just read through my notes as fast as possible hoping I can retain some of the concepts in my head...I was totally falling asleep during the first half of the lecture, but when it was quiz time, I told myself to get focused and I prayed bout it...God really helped me a lot..I found the quiz to be easier than the previous one, and my lecturer was nice to give us more time for it..so yeah, all was good I hope and I shouldn’t do too badly…=)

I was utterly tired on Friday after the quiz..wanted so much to go back and rest, but I had two more lectures after that...But what made my day was I got back two of my term papers from my Adolescent Psychology lecturer..and...I DID DAMN WELL FOR IT!!!!=)It was totally surprising...cos I don't usually do well under this lecturer Dr. Sim. I like his style of teaching but when it comes to answering his term paper questions, I always don't do that well. He mentioned that he was quite impressed with the 35% review paper..some of the papers were written so well he wanted to publish them..haha..

Obviously,when he said that, I was like so panicky cos I wasn't expecting to do that well for it..so when he called us to go collect out papers, I went to find the 15% paper which I was more confident of.It was a 4 page commentary paper so I turned to the back and saw an A-. I was over the moon when I saw it cos that meant that could pull up my overall grade since I wont do well for the 35% review paper.My friend Yin Qi found my paper and passed it to me...then when I was walking back to my seat, another friend Kat came to ask me how did I do..she told me she had two B+ and she was really happy! I smiled and told her I got A- for one, but the other one I dared not look..Then she said,"I help you see want anot?"I said,"Dowan la".She was like "Never mind one, just look". So i plucked up my courage to take a peek. I flipped to the end, and I saw a FREAKING A+!!I immediately looked back to the front page to make sure that it was my paper...and when it was, I screamed and she screamed too and she said "CONGRATULATIONS!!!"

I was damn happy for the rest of the day and probably for the remainder of this sem and the whole of my life..haha..This is the highest grade I got for a term paper in my 3plus years in NUS...So when he said the standard of the papers was so good it can be published, guess I belong to that category then???haha..I should have more confidence in myself seriously...Now I know I just have to be focused, do what I can in my work, and God will truly help me to do the rest....Now I won't worry so much about this module already...I should just study for it like any other module and not put too much pressure on myself and to stop telling myself it's the hardest module this semester for me...

Guess when U put God first, everything else will be put in place...Joining the church choir, going for CG every week, and going for Young Adults sessions once in a while really takes up some of my precious time, but guess everything will work out somehow..HE will help you along the way when you fall...=)I am really happy...totally unexpected..and I really thank HIM for that...

I had to tell my parents about it since this was my best grade ever..so we three had a good meal at CREPERIE, this nice restaurant near my place..and from there, I discovered I really HATE goat cheese!!!haha...It was a rather unique dinner, not that filling..but I enjoyed my time with my parents...=)

Looking forward to IJ girls night out tonight and meeting Marcus too..=)This is gonna be a very good weekend before I start working hard for my exams!!
