The Finish Line
Failures don’t plan to fail; they fail to plan
“Failures don’t plan to fail; they fail to plan†~Harvey Mackay. So true, so very true.
“We all fail, some more often than other”; again so true, so very true.

Procrastination: Laziness Pays off Now
And so here I am again ranting about why I shouldn’t procrastinate and how I should start working towards the final goal. Hmm, alright with that said, I shall think about it later. Now it is time to relax and get my mind off how terribly I’ve done in the morning’s english literature oral examination. Totally love this quote I saw off the internet: “Hard work OFTEN pays off after time, but laziness ALWAYS pays off now.” So young and true.

First Semester 2011: Exanimate
Saw this interesting word and thought that it fitted the bill perfectly to describe me at the end of the first semester this year.

Oh and of course the term tests are approaching real soon. Continue reading
Results Out Happiness Gone
Examination results were released days ago and of course that means that reality starts kicking in again. Until I get to pass that re-examination I’ll be worrying my ass off, while I should be at least. Anyways, I think I did pretty okay, nothing too spectacular or extremely terrible. If I were to compare with the rest of the cohort I would say a little below average? Yeah, not really average I guess, since it is a little bit lower than that of other people whose subject combination seems to be of much higher difficulty to that of mine. Of particular horribleness are the subjects Physics and Math which I both did rather badly. Continue reading
