hell week is over

And so the hell week is over ...

Yea!! That's right! That freaking 20% literature that left me with 6 hours of sleep over two nights was torturing. But at least it's over now :) Still need to prepare for my presentation on it next Friday but yea.... at least it's not 20%. 5% only :p It's gonna be boring coz majority did theirs on lateral ankle sprain, including me :p

And so there's till lab reports and article critiques and assignments to be done but yea.... it's no longer hell week. The worst of assigments is over I must say. Now even 10% lab reports do not scare me as much after that 20% literature review.

I ended the hell week with a blast! Eating and stuffing myself up on Saturday with a raya celebration in the evening, lots of yummy yummy food. Rendang la.. ayam masak merah lah.... sayur lemak lar... roast duck lar.... char kuey teow la... sambal telur la.... and so many many more. I contributed too... with my kuih bingka which leaves the aunties asking me for recipe :o Teeheee... i feel so proud...hahaha!! And the eating session did not end there. Right after we ate, it was pot luck at Mamasan's at night. Followed with charades and drinking as punishment. Thank goodness I had Karen as my representative for drinking. My excuse... I needed to be the sober driver :p And well, she was a happy girl... saying that it's been ages since she drank. So... that's good. Wahahahahaha! Both sides benefit.

And on sunday... it was a morning of social crazy netball. Haven't had that in ages and it was good!! The day followed on with me starting on my lab report and trying to get back to study mode. Which was... HARD!!! Couldn't think and the results I had didn't make sense making it difficult to explain it. And this resulted in me handing in my lab report yesterday at 4pm on the dot! That was the due time and I popped it in the pigeon hole right on 4pm. For once, it was literally last minute.

What's next?

Week 10
3% article critique
5% lab

Week 11
5% lab
10% literature review
3% article critique
5% presentation

Week 12
3% article critique
10% lab report

Looks like it's not all over afterall huh? It just keeps coming all the way through the final week. But.. seriously, the worst is over :p Need to start preparing for finals because.. I so do not, and cannot afford to fail!!! I've been offered a place in Sydney but in one condition, I need to pass my remaining papers with an average of 65%. And also, offer only stands provided the remainding places are not filled up. Hmmmnnn..... so it's still not confirmed yet till... till i complete my finals and get my results and wait for them to get back to me.

On a brighter note ....





I am so looking forward to it!! Perhaps I should start doing some training now? It's only a month and a half away!!! So excited!! Karen is going to do the 32km one. She's super fit ... nearly everyday, she goes for a run... gosh.. the discipline! respect!!! My turn in doing that will come.. one day.. one day.... When I'm more focused, more fit and mentally stronger. Lolx!!

In the mean time, i'll stick to the 13km course and look forward to that weekend! It's gna be a a run and a mini road trip as well. Wooot wooot!
