Friday blues..... @ 11:35 PM
People always have monday blues...but I am the exception...
On a usual friday for this semester, I have lesson from 10.30am all the way till 7.30pm. It is better on even weeks when there are human motivation tutorials in the afternoon to occupy my day before MB106 lecture at 5.30pm. Fridays are blue-er on odd weeks when i have to drag myself thru 6 hours of break before my next lesson...but this week, it is SO special and memorable that i will remember for life.
In the first place, i really dread the arrival of friday this week because of the release of quiz results during cognitive tutorial. I knew that i may not have done well as i should..therefore i truly dread this particular friday...But, thats not all...
After receiving my results, in a state of angst and frustration of all the stupid mistakes that i made....i toppled my waterbottle and it hit my right toe nail...OUCH!!! yes..., now there is a blueblack and it still hurts a little...But, thats not all...
To appease myself, i had my comfort food- vegetarian with my favourite potatoes, to make myself feel better. Thereafter, i had a productive discussion with lee shyuan over the presentation for human motivation...When the clock strikes 2.15pm, we made our way to the tutorial room, thinking that it is good to be there early to enjoy the aircon. Strangely, there was no one..and we waited..and waited...
2.35pm...
lee shyuan: Where is everybody??? it is like 5 mins past 2.30 already...
Me: ya....they are soo late?? wait wait, was there a change in tutorial room???
lee shyuan: okok, i check edventure and email to see if there is any announcement.
Me: (looking at my timetable to check that we are at the correct tutorial room)
Me: umm, i think it started at 1.30..
lee shyuan: ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!
Me: (weakly) ya....neh...u see...(pointing to her the timing for the tutorial)
lee shyuan: so means, it ended early??? then our assignment how??? need to submit in tutorial leh!!!
Me: oh no oh no how.........wait i call C and ask her...
lee shyuan: okok, i check whether there is any way we can contact dennis(name of the TA)
Me: (after talking to C) they ended early...cuz there is no presentation this week, they handed in assignment and left already!!!
lee shyuan: shit la, how?????
Me: okok, we call Prof Joyce????
I called her..and she picked up!!!!! It was such a relief that she is in her office!!! And, we rushed to HSS to hand up our assigment...
At the end of it...
Walking out of HSS...
lee shyuan: We are sooo smart right....university life so exciting hor??
Me: ya...friday is so eventful..
Looking back, I think that despite all these upsetting things going on today...i find myself giving thanks to God in everything.
Thank God for the quiz results, for i know my mistakes and i did relatively well and above average :)
Thank God for all the journey mercies this week as i drove to school. I have never driven on my own since i got my license and i am glad that there are considerate drivers out there who are patient with my driving and give way to me :)
Thank God that I was able to find out in time that tutorial was at 1.30, if not we would have missed the deadline (assignment to be handed in by the end of tutorials, which was 3.30pm) and there is no way we can argue our way thru to hand up in another tutorial since our session was the last one for the week :)
Thank God that Prof Joyce was in her office to pick up the call (university profs may not be there at their office all the time, it was taking a leap of faith) :)
Thank God that today is the 25th :) Happy 17th~
