A walk in my shoes…

Eh… Gonna be leaving pretty soon. Flying to KL on Tues… sigh. Part of me is reluctant to leave this place and the other kinda looks forward to my departure. I mean there’s no point dilly dallying here as I’m not doing anything particularly progressive. I really enjoyed my holidays. Got along nice with my bro (surprise, surprise) prayers do come true eh? Had a great time while my sis was back with us. Other than that, I have been bouncing back and forth between reading a novel, downloading, and going out. I brought some of my books back with the intention to study for my exam this coming 2nd year… tho I wasn’t the tinniest bit motivated to open my books. eheheh… I did go to the library - bloody, freakin far!!! Habis petrol only!!! - tho that’s just to get extra understanding of the illusive subject called anatomy… ahahahaha

———————————————————————————-

I’m not that looking forward to leave maybe because of the looming prospect of my anat and histo exam in Jan. Considering the fact that I haven’t studiend one bit since June, I’m pretty much screwed!!! Cramming is in order… sigh. The dread… yes I think that’s the reason. Plus a little dash of homesickness…. I dun wanna leave my daddy. Damn I can’t bring him over with me, it’ll be nice… heheh ;P

———————————————————————————-

Gotta clean the room (again!), get back into study mode, settle my registration and all those official stuff, prepare mentally for a new roomate (I wonder how this will turn out… sigh) and do my shopping!! Now that’s alot of stuff to shop for. My fridge is literally empty. Emptied it out before I left. Guess will be eating out or just plain rice on the day I arrive then… Atashi bimbo da you (I’m poor!!) ahaha…

Right. So the first day in Singapore was spent at the Night Safari… which btw, wasn’t that interesting. Yes, I saw animals. Yes, the night show was ‘entertaining’. And yes, I thought it was ok. But still, for it all to cost that much, ahaha… no thanks for the next time. I was also kinda sleepy during the safari and all. Was late and I had not enough sleep the night before or during the journey over to Singapore.

———————————————————————————-

Second day in Singapore was spent at the Zoo… animals AGAIN!!! NO, I do not particularly like animals. Unless they’re quiet, cuddly and harmless. hehe… But anyways it was much better than the Night Safari as the animals were, well… more active. But still, ALOT of walking. So yeah… manage to burn some of the weight I accumulated during the exam month. haha… After that we walk at the riverside. Very nice. And then saw the Merlion, or like my sister likes to call it, the Lionmaid. What I liked best was the sitting there doing nothing but just looking out at the scenery (the sky, TALL buildings, and the really ugly ship yard - as least that’s what I thought it was) basically, just chilling. I LOVED IT. Then for the night walk we walked down Orchard Road. My travel of Orchard Road consisted mainly of looking at big exoensive looking buildings and really expensive branded shops… ahaha… basically window shopping as I could not afford to do any ACTUAL shopping. And most of my ’scenery’ was the walls advertising Singaport Shopping Centre which covered the construction side next to the pedestrian sidewalk blocking out the view of the shops opposite the street. NICE view… not.

———————————————————————————-

So yea… Orchard Road basically sucked to me. Don’t go there unless you like window shopping or that you’re actually LOADED with cash. So, conclusion, the only interesting part of Singapore that I liked was the financial centre, which was where the Merlion was located. I actually liked the Urbun Jungle of the city centre. It’s not just high-rise building all the way, but also lots of trees and I LOVE the landscaping they did with the plants and the random weird looking sculptures. Really made Singapore look so sophisticated and modern. Kinda remind me of parts of NY that I saw on tv. Then there was the fountain of wealth. It was nothing impressive at first but after that it was ok. When the fountain was on, and the laser show as well, things got much more interesting.

———————————————————————————-

Yea. So I like Singapore. Tho, just only the city centre. I think I might actually like living in Singapore but that another question altogether. No specific plans for tomorrow but I hope I won’t regret it.

———————————————————————————-

Thought of the moment: The guy’s name is Francis… hehe…

Hey ppl!!!!

I’m in Singapore right now. At this very moment, I’m in the hostel where I’m staying for 3 nights. It’s a REALLY good place for such a price. Anyways, my free 30mins of internet per day has been reduced to 13mins. So this will probably be short.

———————————————————————————-

After 3 days in the hotel in KL, with not much shopping to do, I have finally left for Singapore. Not exactly one if the places in my must-see-places list but ah well… a holiday is still a holiday. Anyways, the the ride over to this country was spent by watching movies on the bus. ahaha… interesting movies no doubt. But the 1st impression I had of Singapore was that the place was said to be really clean right? So I was thinking that when I saw the trees near the immigration area… the branches were so clean!!! I thought "Singapore’s so clean that even the TREEs are clean" ahaha,… tho I was proven wrong after some time. But singapore is just a cleaner version of M’sia… to me anyways.

———————————————————————————-

On the bus, it was pretty much boring aside from the movies available. I watched Eragon and Fearless (in mandarin WITHOUT subtitles!!) but I understood anyways. But I spend most of the time after the movies watching some guy sitting not far from me. Hey, what can I say, the guy was good looking… not just the looks but the body too… ahahahahahahaha. Yea… that’s me being bored…. Was… fun…

———————————————————————————-

As much as I like seeing a new place, I do NOT like walking under the bloody hot sun. GOD!!!!! It’s bleeding hot here!!!! I can’t even stand being out of an air-conditioned room more that 5 mins. I’m SO gonna suffer back in Kuching as I don’t have air-conditioner in my home… sigh. At least I got my dad to fix the car!!!!

———————————————————————————-

Owh yea… I’m planning to take Chinese classes when I get back to Kuching. Taking it while I’m still there and probably continuing when I get back next summer. ahahaha… Can’t stand being a banana anymore!!!!

———————————————————————————-

Thought of the moment: The guy working at the hostel I’m staying is CUTE!!!! ahahaha… But really… he is ;P

I kinda figured out why I have no idea what to say when someone comes to me disappointed. At least in exam results anyways.

———————————————————————————-

Just finished my chem exam. I’m disappointed and sad. I only got a 4. I knew everything I had to do, but when it came to the point where the teacher asked me a few missing things, I panicked. I couldn’t think straight. I couldn’t even seem to undestand what she wanted. *Strike 1* Then I said the wrong thing for the extra Q. Instead of base I said alkali. *Strike 2* So my 5 was down the drain. I was so disappointed when she signed my report with a 4 (good). She thought I was gonna cry. Truth be told, I wasn’t… not then. But the more she told me not to cry, the more she said that I was a good and smart student and that my I’ve done my exam well, the more I wanted to cry.

———————————————————————————-

I know I did my best. I know I prepared my best. I know that I deserved that 4 based on my performance. But somehow I don’t feel any better. I still feel disappointed and thoroughly sad. The usual things ppl say: ‘You did your best’ or ‘It just wasn’t your lucky day’ or ‘At least you passed’ doesn’t work. It doesn’t make me feel better. Apparently my best wasn’t good enough.

———————————————————————————-

I don’t think I wanna aim for a 5 anymore. I mean, yes you should aim as high as you can but I don’t wanna get disappointed again. It’s physics next. PHYSICS!!! In what universe can I get a 5 for physics? I only understand a little on this topic and a little on that. Physics for some reason just won’t get into my head. I was so sure I could get a 5 for chem cuz I knew what I was doing. I knew and understood organic chem. Maybe being a pessimist is good. If you get more that what you hoped for then it’ll be a pleasant surprise. If you don’t, no harm done.

———————————————————————————-

Thought of the moment: Why did I panic?? WHY???!!!!

It’s Friday. Two more days left to prepare for my Chem exams. Again as usual I’m not worried about taking the exams as well, I think I’m kinda immune to it but I’m sure I’ll be hyperventilating and sufferring from tachycardia AGAIN… eh… I think I’ll still have all those even if I knew all the answers by heart. *-*!

———————————————————————————-

So what am I doing here? Hmm… you could say that I’m chilling… tho the occational thought ‘You’re wasting time, Eugenie… valuable time…’ do pop into mind. But then again, I have been sitting on my desk for about 14 hours a day since Tuesday. So, aside from a rather sore ass at the moment, I’m great. *forces a grin*mirror cracks* lol… Hey… organic chem isn’t that hard. It’s actually kinda easy just my problem is that I’m getting the structure mixed up. I’ll be drawing a mixture of pyruvic acid and lactic acid… what do I get?? A NEW STRUCTURE!!! ahaha… and I’m mislabelling my structures too. Sigh… cramming sucks. While going through all… 35 theoratical Qs (which about sums up the whole text book and lecture thrown in together) I’m wondering, what was I so nervous about STPM. I have my STPM organic chem refference book with me and as far as I can tell, IT’S SO FREAKING BASIC compared to what the shit I’m learning now. Maybe STPM isn’t so hard… wouldn’t know.

———————————————————————————-

I just finished at protein… well sorta. By the time I was done with amino acid and peptide, I was TOTALLY SICK of it. So reaching protein, I just thought… ‘you know what, I’m gotta study this later if I have time. If I so happen to get this Q during exam, I’ll just ask for an extra Q to make it up’ *grins* Seriously, would I really care how the protein fold in my body, so long as it FOLDS??? Jeez… So freaking many molecular structure!!!! AHHHH!!!! *cracking*cracking*

———————————————————————————-

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Well, all study and no play makes Eugenie a dull girl. Can’t do anything about it do. My whole daily routine has been reduced to sleep, eat, and study. And of course personal hygene. Btw, STILL NO HOT WATER!!!! Everytime I think of going for a walk, paranoia sets in.

‘You’re wasting time walking!! You could finish one Q with this time!! You wanna fail?? You wanna get a 3? or a 4? You should sit you ass back on that rock hard chair and STUDY!!!!’

So the intented PEACEFUL, RELAXING walk ends up to be a trail of paranoid thoughts. Even falling asleep seems to be a crime to my paranoia. Falling asleep means getting through the hurdle of worries.

Eg: I still have that much Qs to go through. And I still have to refresh the previous Qs. Then there’s the practical Qs. There’s Physics. Then Bio!!!! OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!

Thankfully, I am still able to sleep even with the paranoia. *thank you, God* So…. back to chem then…

———————————————————————————

Thought of the moment: Cephalin = phosphatidic acid + colamine residue… Lacithin = phosphatidic acid + choline residue… Phosphatidylserine = phosphatidic acid + serine residue… So… what’s the formula for colamine, choline, and serine residue? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Latin’s OVER!!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!!

Yesterday’s events:-

———————————————————————————-

Woke up at 5am… no paranoia… yet. Calmly took my shower (no hot water btw, so had to boil) then sat down and started to pray my rosary. Hey, what can I say. At times I do need a higher power to calm myself down. And guess what? Mother Mary was just right there. *grins* So yea… once that was over I tot that I’d be on the table studying, you know last minute cramming. BUT instead, I just fell onto my bed and in an instant, I was asleep. AHAHA!!! Anyways, I wasn’t late for the exam. Purposely didn’t bring anything other than my report book, and stationaries. Didn’t wanna end up opening the book every few seconds and then panicking. But anyhow, I was already panicking. The exam was surprisingly easy. I mean not easy that I finished in like 30mins (used up 55 mins from my 1 hour) but still, there wasn’t a term that I didn’t completely not understand. Phew!! But I did make one tiny mistake… actually huge. Gave the wrong definition for para- in paratonsililitis… Honestly, I had NO CLUE what para- meant in this context. ahaha… took my best shot and it turned out wrong. ah well… turned out to be cellular tissue (when para- is combined with suffix -itis it means cellular tissue) Jeez… why didn’t someone tell me that BEFORE the exam?? But anyhow, the teacher was so nice that she gave me another 3 Qs to answer. Got that all right and answered her oral Q and she gave a VERY relieved and happy Eugenie a 5!!!!!!!!! YIPPEE!!!!! The whole time I sat there watching her mark my paper, I was suffering from tachycardia. I tot my heart would burst… or just stop!! ahaha… She kinda heard me yelping for joy outside the exam room… HEY, I tried to yelp as quietly as possible… but still… eheh!!!

———————————————————————————-

So… PHEW!!!!! Now that Latin is in the bag, got 3 more to go. Chem is next on the 16th… OMG!!! I have no idea what time!!!!!!! AHHH!!!!!! *take deep breaths* I guess panicking in a way is good… makes you actually study. But seriously, I could do WITHOUT the paranoia. ahaha… Let’s see what happens on the 15th. ahaha

———————————————————————————-

P/s: Thanks for the encouragement midget. Wish you were here to always remind me when my paranoia starts. Cheers!!!!

———————————————————————————-

Thought of the moment: Alcohol, phenol, thiol, carboxilic acid, amines, and something else… food?

Tomorrow’s the 10th, Tuesday. Tomorrow is my Latin exam. The more I study, the more I feel like I’m not ready to take the exam. It’s like ‘this term existed? What the hell does it mean?’ Then I turn the page and find out more or less 5 more new term that I never new existed. OMG!!!!!!!! TOMORROW’S THE EXAM!!!!!

———————————————————————————-

I woke up today and had to take a moment to reasure myself that today was the 9th. I woke up thinking it was the 10th. Scenario: ‘OMG!!!!!!! I’M FREAKING LATE!!!!!!!!! I’M GONNA MISS MY EXAM! SHIT!!! Wait… today’s monday, 9th. Tomorrow is 10th. Exam tomorrow lar. WAIT!!! Did they change the date? No they didn’t… right? Owh, no worries, if I’m not there on time, my group mates will call me… they would, wouldn’t they?? WOULDN’T THEY????’ Yea… was pretty much paranoid. Still am…

———————————————————————————-

Clinical terminology is HARD. Define the term, seperate the word part and define the word parts. Sometimes the definition of the word part doesn’t even make sense in the whole definition of the term. I’m thinking that logic might not apply in this particular part of Latin. And my teacher is FOND of saying ‘Latin the the language of logic’ Pft!!! Logic to me might turn out to be totally bizare to you!!! ahaha

———————————————————————————-

Should sleep now. Sleep should get rid of the paranoia. I’m not so much worried about taking the exam… I’m more worried about actually MISSING the exam!!! Exam is tomorrow. Exam is at 10am. I will not miss the exam. I will not miss the exam. Exam is tomorrow. Exam is at 10am. I will not miss the exam. I will not miss the exam. Exam is … … … … (did I not just say I was paranoid??)

———————————————————————————-

Thought of the moment: Today’s the 9th… right? Didn’t miss the exam. Completely safe. Tomorrow’s the exam cuz tomorrow’s the 10th… RIGHT?? It wasn’t today RIGHT??? RIGHT??!!!! I won’t miss the exam!!! I WON’T, I WON’T I WON’T!!!!!!!!!!

For once, I’m posting in BM!! Mr. Baluddin, will be so horrified if he actually read this. ahaha!! Then again, I was never his best student *grins*

———————————————————————————-

Ok. Hari tak de la ape2 yg menyeronokkan… kelas seperti biase je untuk aku. Hadir kelas anat, lepas tu cepat2 buat kerja fizik mase lecture yg tak pernah aku hadir kecuali lecture pertama 1st semester ngan lecture pertama 2nd semester. haha… malasnye aku ni!!! Kenape aku malas sangat nak hadir lecture? Sebab bagi aku macam tak gune je. Nota dan lecture prof tu bukan nye aku paham. LANGSUNG TAK PAHAM!!! Jadi baik je duduk kat rumah buat benda lain. ha… pandai kan?

———————————————————————————-

Kelas anat hari ni seronok sikit sebab tak perlu terang ape2 kat Anna. Kena cari arteri kat abd cavity lepas tu die masuk dan terangkan kat kami. Ade berita baik juga bile die masuk. Ape berita baik tu? Har… yg arteri2 ni semua tak masuk dalam preparat kontrol!!!! ahaha… tak perlu la kami susah2 tension nak cari arteri semua tu. Tapi bagi aku macam tak susah je cari arteri2 ni. Untuk bab ni tak susah la, sebab sikit je. Lagi pun, kalo ingat name arteri, cari organ yg disebut dalam name je dapat la arteri tu. ha!! Pas tu kami ulang balik peritoneum. Seronok juga. Sebab mood Anna hari ni baik je. Dan sebab dah dengar Larissa terang peritoneum semalam agak senang juga la. Tapi mesti la ade salah sini sane dan ade pula benda2 yg ditambah. Tapi seronok, sebab tak tension nak terang depan Anna!!! Seronok nye kelas anat hari ni!!!!!!!!

———————————————————————————-

HA!!! Lepas tu sesuatu yg lawak terjadi dalam bas dari 4th korpus balik ke hostel. haha… sayang nye aku tak nampak ngan mate sendiri. Ni har, pak cik yg cerita balik kat kami ni. Untuk para pambaca yg tau siape pak cik, tau la kamu orang yg die asyik tido dalam bas… berdiri atau duduk!!! Ni la yg lawak nye. Untuk para pembaca yg TAK tau pak cik… skarang tau la sikit2. Dulu kalo die tertidur mase die berdiri, kepala akhirnye akan terhantuk tiang!!! ohoho… dah due kali aku witness kepala die tu terhatuk tiang!!! Lawak nye. Kuat juga bunyi!! Pas tu satu kali die terhantuk gelas tingkap sebab die berdiri kat tingkat. Ajaibnye kebolehan pak cik ni… Pas tu, hari ni punye paling BEEESSSSS skali!!!! Tapi sedih nye aku tak nampak tapi lawak juga dengar pak cik ceritakan. Ni cerita nye:-

                Pak cik dah ngantuk. Dah die plan nak tido dalam bas, tapi sedihnye tak de tempat duduk. Jadi die pun berdiri.. nak buat ape lagi? ahaha. Kat depan die, duduk seorang laki tua russian yg botak. Sebelah laki tu, mak cik russian. Ok… pak cik sebelum naik bas dah ngantuk. Bile dah lama dalam bas, lagila die ngantuk!! Jadi tertido. Kan bile tido kepala akan jatuh2 sikit. Lepas tu kamu dikejutkan balik. Lepas tu terlelap lagi. Kepala turun. Terkejut. Terlelap… Begitu juga untuk pak cik. TAPI tibe2 bukan sahaja kepala yg terturun ke bawah, tapi SELURUH bahagian badan die dari aras punggung ke atas!!! Alahai… kesian pula kat pak cik russian yg TERjadi mangsa pak cik ni!!! Kepala pak cik terhantuk kepala botak pak cik russian. Mak cik russian sebelah tu bising pula… tergelak. Pak cik russian terkejut ‘Ape sal ngan budak ni? Tibe2 pukul aku pula?’

Haih!!! Pak cik, pak cik!!!! Setau aku, hanye pak cik yg mampu buat macam tu… tapi kalo tak de pak cik, kelas tak selawak skarang… haha. Bile kali pertama die gtau aku peristiwa ni, aku pikir pak cik russian tu lebih pendek drpd pak cik dan sedang berdiri kat depan pak cik. Paham2 la kalo kepala tertunduk ke bawah sikit mase terlelap tu dan TERhantuk kepala botak pak cik russian tu, TAPI TAK PULA!!! Ni, pak cik russian tu DUDUK and pak cik BERDIRI… ish2… dasyat juga. Takut la aku kalo duduk dekat pak cik yg berdiri. Salah2 nanti kepala aku pula yg jadi mangsa. haha… Tak pe la pak cik… kalo gitu, aku pakai helmet!!! HAHA!!!! (^o^)

———————————————————————————-

Fizik seronok juga hari ni!!!! Kelas hanya 30 min!!! Prof tak datang!!! ahaha… Jawab seoalan dan balik jer!!!

———————————————————————————-

Keseronokkan hari ini kekal lagi dengan panggilan dari Anastasia, cikgu russian intensive kami ni. Die panggil gtau kelas esok cancel (tergelak aku kat telefon lepas nya gtau) tapi ganti hari isnin. Tak pe la. Hari isnin dah takdo kelas lalu. hahaha… jadi esok relek jer!!! Prepare kepade kontrol anat (main2 ngan preparat la tu untuk kelas anat esok) dan lecture histo je. HAH!!! Lecture histo aku pergi selalu. So far, tertinggal satu je sebab Nizhny games tu. Senang la esok. Kalo boleh aku nak habiskan kontrol computer aku lepas lecture histo. Masih ade CNS1 ngan visceral organ. Tak pe… boleh punye. Bukannye susah sangat…

———————————————————————————-

Dah la… aku nak tido lagi… banyak tido la aku ni. Ish2…

———————————————————————————-

Thought of the moment: Ooo… an ant!! Hmm… I think it’s something else… some creature from Phylum Insectida or something…

Desperate times calls for desperate measures. Agree?? How desperate have you been? ahaha… So what desperation am I talking about? Well what else in a student’s life? TIME!!!

———————————————————————————-

Sigh… I wish I had more time. Like… 30 hours per day as an example. Or just be better with time management. I’m not saying that I while my time away doing nothing useful. But for a student who’s currently trying to save as much money as she can (succeeding a little), I can’t exactly go out and eat everytime I feel the urge to NOT cook. Times like these, I learn to appreciate my mum so much more, and at times like these I wish I just stayed in Malaysia to study as I’ll have the pleasure of having a nice, wonderful, filling meal for less than RM15. Unlike here. So, my time is spent cooking, clearing my room, not to mention the dishes as well, and going to and from classes (damn, I’m not in a university). I’d like more time to actually sit and read up on my materials. At average, from 0800 till 1600 I’m at classes (owh the horror…lol), get back about an hour or so after classes end, depending on how the traffic is doing, gotta cook, then settle down to eat. WOW… it’s already 1900!!!! OMG!!! By then my brain feels like mush or granite… either ways, nothing will get in. So here is the perfect time to do some notes or just hometasks… which doesn’t really involve that much brain power compared to memorizing. Then a normal human being needs at least 8 hours of sleep. Jee… lemme see… Nah… 6 hours is the max most of the time. So from 2300 till 0500 my lights are out. Then my whole world repeats itself. I WANT MORE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait till my classes end. Then I can fully concentrate with my exam preperations. At the memont, I’m studying a lil bit here, a lil bit there as I still have to prepare for anatomy classes and my zachuts. DAMN!!!

———————————————————————————-

So back to desperate times, calls for desperate actions. Desperation: TIME. Action: Going to class BLUR!!!

While this is NEVER the best idea to do, what else can I do? I am already sleeping 6 hours per day. If I don’t cook, where will dinner come from? If I don’t make my notes or my tasks (physics) I’ll be majorly screwed. So, sorry to my chem, histo, bio, and anat teacher. Tho being blur in chem isn’t such a big problem… it’s easy for me to catch up while she explains. But for anat??? ahahahaha… lets just say I hate feeling like an idiot in that class but seriously, I need to sacrifice some things. And since my exams for anat and histo are in my next sem, well, what the hell. It can wait one more month!

———————————————————————————-

Wondering what I’m doing here if I don’t have enough time? Well, I’m relaxing. Brains got to rest a lil while before I hit the books again… more like papers… but specification is not necessary. Feels nice to ‘talk’, specially when there’s no immediate reply… ahaha.

———————————————————————————-

Aside from studies, my life rarely include much else. I spend most of my time in classes or my room or on the bus. I love bus rides specially when it’s not crowded and that I actually get to sit. Sometimes for de-stressing, I’ll take the bus with the longest route (at the moment the bus going to my classes) get off at the stop, cross the road and take the same bus back in the opposite direction. ahaha… why is it de-stressing? Cuz I’m away from the hostel (which at times can be really depressing) and I do like watching ppl. For some reason, when I’m on the bus, I don’t seem to think about anything in particular. It’s like my mind just watches, but doesn’t anaylize what I’m seeing. Kinda hard to explain. I’m sure you’ve had those times where you just daze off. Not in dreamland, but not in reality as well. Ah, well. It’s bliss for me. haha…

———————————————————————————-

Thought of the moment: This is a really pointless post isn’t it?? 

                         It’s Monday. 26th Bloody May 2008. Monday is starting to be my 2nd fav day in the weekday. Why? I only have two classes; Russian and Latin.

                         Since my finals are coming up like 2 weeks time (gosh… that soon? Shit) I’m busy trying to get my clearance for exams. What clearance? Going to every single teacher that teaches me, sitting for some test, hopefully passing it (I really don’t care even if I get a 3. Point is I NEED TO PASS!) and have them sign my ‘report book’ - I thought I’d be done with report books after I graduated from Sec school but it seems that I’m stuck with it for another 6 years. So, zachut (report book) signing officially begins TODAY!!!

                         First on the list was passing my Russian zachut (reffering to the test). We had our written last week. Since my teacher did not announce any failures I’m sure I passed (DUH). Today was oral (Yippee… my ‘fav’ part) Had to recite an pre-memorized dialogue with another groupmate - Azli was my partner - and then literally make a dialogue out of thin air on the spot. I don’t know what is it with Russian classes and dialogues but we’re always asked to make dialogues. I HATE THEM!!! The on-the-spot dialogue was well… er… shit. Any russian idiot would be able to understand what we were saying BUT any russian teacher would probable be able to spot say… 20 grammar mistakes. WOW!!! So… if I were my teacher, and teaching english, I’d probably fail my student with that amount of mistakes. BUT thankfully, my teacher so generous and understanding that she gave both of us a 4/5 each. One zachut down and 7 to go… long way

                          Next up was Latin. Owh I love the subject. Not so much the teacher but the subject. Writen was last week and my result was ‘very good’ I have no idea what that is when converted to numbers (1-5) but who cares. Point is I passed. Today was again… oral. 20 Latin proverbs to resite in from of the teacher. Lets just say, I chose the easiest proverbs that I could remember. Kinda hard considering that I took most of the easy ones for my last semester zachut… but I found 20 and I nailed all of them *grins* My fav: Per aspera ad astra (no pain, no gain) ahaha… Now I know what astra means!!! Star!!! *lame* So, my teacher, Tatiana graciously signed my zachut and passed it back to a very happy, and spirited Eugenie. HAHAHA…

                          I wonder what subject next… I have a bio test tomorrow on Evolution. Us human originating from the simplest of life forms, without much of a brain (if there was or maybe just the main spinal cord), no bones, blind, deaf, limbless (possibly) and without much purpose in life. Sweet. Thank goodness we evolved!!! But then again, did we? Or are we not the creation of God’s own hands? HAHA… The Bible vs Darwin.

I should probably be preparing for my tests and the exams… I am. Sorta. Just… don’t feel like studying yet. Hence, I’m here!!!

———————————————————————————-

Thought of the moment: When is the rice gonna be ready???!!!
