dead week

they call the last academic week 'dead week' for a reason. i so dead tired. ive been trying to finish off whatever that's required for the semester. and i guess i've been doing it a little too much, but its something that has to be done, if you ask me.

for english, im supposed to have 15 blog entries, reviewing editorials from newspapers or commenting on issues, and 6 more for a group entry. techincally, we should have been doing 2, at least 1 every week. each entry is a minimum of 250 words. i remember early in this semester, i was thinking, well, that isnt much, i should be doing consistently, and when the professor said that he expected people to rush in the last week, i thought i wouldnt be doing that.

since i got so involved on campus, the latter happened to be true. thankfully i had done couple over the semester, but im rushing so many entries now. i did 5 entries on monday, and 7 yesterday. and i spent practically the whole day doing that, so much that my eyes are sore from looking at the powerbook screen. i only have 5 more to go for today, which i will hopefully complete. 250 words isnt much, true, but when its added up, its something. i must have written 3500 words of analysis in the past 2 days. plus, on monday, i was finishing off my history text, and i managed to read 100 pages of that, play a soccer match (which we lost) and do 5 entries.

couple of the guys in my section of the dorm was drinking... on monday night! so i couldnt really sleep in peace coz there was so much noise outside. i wonder if the noise issue is better in west campus at all. last night was another case, i was doing work til 12 plus, unable to take it anymore, went to sleep, tried hard to sleep, but couldnt sleep.

this sucks. but i know, by end of today, i will have a relaxing thursday and friday. its worth being tired for. and i can even start my history revision early.

i found out last night that i have another final: intro to engineering. i was shocked, coz there isnt anything to test at all. but its basically an one hour paper with really straightforward questions. i just need to look through the topics covered briefly. i thought the grade would have been decided by our group project paper.

im going to find out my health grade today. its nerve wrecking, coz the last exam was alright, but i need to do well to get a B, since my first two fucked up.

if everything goes better than expected, i could end up with a GPA of 3.6, which is excellent, ill get a 2.8 in the worst case scenario, which i really hope wont take place.

gosh im so tired... but somehow, im able to pay attention in lectures.

we watched 'super size me' for health class on monday, since we're done with the syllabus. its a pretty shocking revelation of the fast food industry, directed specially to macdonalds, and i thought it was a pretty entertaining documentary.

i managed to get hold on two movies ive been wanting to watch 'dirty pretty things' and 'lost in translation.' when im finally done with my english assignment tonight, im gonna treat myself to the lovely audrey tautou in 'dirty pretty things.' thankfully, its not in french, so i wont need subtitles. i read yesterday on CNN that the director of amelie and andrey tautou collaborated on another film which will be similar to the theme of amelie, but it'll be set in the world war 2 era, so i'll be pretty excited to catch that, whenever it may be.

been listening to way too much dido recently... but her voice and background music blends well, so im not complaning. its pretty good music...

alright, time to leave for history...
