Cruel Cruel Fate

I cannot believe this! Why does fate have to be so cruel? Why! The first time I took this subject, the coursework was as such:

Test 1 – 15%

Test 2 – 15%

Project – 10%

Final Exam – 60%


I did moderately well for the first test but I flunked the second one. As for the project, I had this sadistic lecturer who failed me without any valid reason. I tried to reason with him but it was pointless. I was so fed up as he would not even listen to any sound reason. How am I to plead my case if I am not even given a chance defend myself or make my point audible? He was so sloppy while marking the project and just rushed off to the next person without even properly ending the current presentation. It was all so confusing as nobody knew if their project was accepted or rejected. My presentation was on the last day, so you could very well imagine the chaos.

The second time I took this subject, the coursework was as such:

Test 1 – 20%

Test 2 – 20%

Final Exam – 60%

I was ecstatic! No project and above all, Mr. Sloppy Lecturer were not in charge of the subject. This time around though, I admit it was my own fault. I did not study for both the test and missed a few lectures and tutorials here and there. Yea, I brought this upon myself. I allowed my vehemence for the subject to overtake the fact that I needed to pass it in order to graduate. A lesson well learned.

So now, I am taking it for the third time and God willing, for the last time. Just so happens that the coursework is:

Test 1 – 15%

Test 2 – 15%

Project – 10%

Final Exam – 60%

The same as the first time I took it. But that’s not all, the real deep shock it that I have to cross paths once again with Mr. Sloppy Sadistic Lecturer.

The session I registered


The blasted announcement!

Believe me; I would have gladly changed my lecture section if I knew that he was going to be my lecturer. It is too late now as it is the third week and I have other subjects to be worried about as well. If only they posted this earlier. AH CRAP!

Dear readers, I must beg your pardon. This might be a sight of me that you have never seen. I was taken by a whim. Yes, I was overwhelmed by a sudden urge to draw that I offered to help my cousin design a birthday card for her friend. FOR FREE!! I must have been struck with temporary insanity. Front Inside Ah boy, I sure miss drawing! But I need a project ... hmmm ...

There goes the last drop.

This is what I detest about staying in the hostel: Water Shortage! How on earth is it even possible, when each wing has 2 huge water tanks? It's frustrating allright! When I was washing my clothes in the evening, the water supply was rapidly decreasing. An hour later as I was about to take my bath, there was no water in the bathroom except for the pantry. But of course, I can't very well bath in the pantry now can I? So I rushed to the other wing and thank goodness there was water there but you can tell it's running low. It's a good thing I took my bath then, because now the whole block is out of water. Everybody is going to the next block. It's just like the great Exodus, only this time, the multitudes are carrying pails, towels and soaps. Needless to say, I thought it would be wise to save up some water from the pantry. I have to prepare for the worst. It would probably take them the whole day to fix the problem and I do have an 8 o'clock class tomorrow mornin...
