Finally!

Well, well, I'm finally here. I calculated the time it took from door to door, and it came out to be around 37 hours - and I only managed to sleep for a max of 1 hour in between. But whatever it is, I'm here in one piece and glad to be here.

I guess my sleep deprivation continued its work, I went to sleep at 4:30am, but snapped out of it around 12, so I'm trying not to sleep at all during the day and just sleep at night. Who knows, I might be able to combat the jetlag well, it hasn't really sunk in yet.

Denise left her and Koustav's number, so I called them up, and Koustav was so delighted to hear my voice, boy, was I glad to talk to him too! I went out with Lorraine and Samantha for lunch, just easing up to the weather. It was cold by Singapore's standards, but a little too warm for mine, but I guess I'll get used to it.

I'll write up by travel log soon, just not yet. Oh, and an update on my grades for the semester - yeah, I got 2.35. I definitely burnt out. But thank goodness, I don't have to repeat any classes, so I'm just gonna take it and deal with it. My overall is still above 3.0 and is on course for at least an honors, so I just gotta make sure everything's fine from now on. I'm now classified a Junior (third year level), so I should have access to quite a lot of classes from now on. Whatever. I'm here to take a big break and just forget about academics for a while.

I'm just glad I'm here!

Leaving for Singapore

Phew... It's been a long, hard semester. I really need a break. I think, that the reason why I think I did so bad this semester is probably due to burn out. Just thinking about it, I haven't really had a break since I started my life at Georgia Tech. While most people had a good summer break, I was working full time, and I didn't really have time to rest in between the transition, after I ended my first work semester, it was housing staff training straight away and then the semester. The grades are scheduled to be out later today, and I'm not looking forward to it, coz I know I did badly. There's nothing I can do but to sit down and take it. I managed to do the exams, but I'm not sure how it'll turn out. I just hope I didn't fail any classes. If there's anything, then it's that I've definitely learnt my lesson, and from now on, I'll make sure I won't make this mistake ever again.

My laptop met a freak accident while studying at the library. My friend, who was studying with me, tripped on the power cables, and that snapped the pin that connects into my PowerBook. The pin seems to be stuck in the PowerBook, and I can't take it out. I went to the Apple store, but they don't do repairs, so they redirected me to another place, but since I don't have a car, I guess I'll get the repair done in Singapore. So basically my PowerBook's out of power. That sucked.

I'm really looking forward to the trip, though it's going to be for less than 2 weeks. Great news is that Leisha, who studies in Emory, is probably going to be in the same flight all the way from Chicago to Singapore! I'm flying American Airlines, so I wasn't expecting any personal entertainment system, so I was dreading the long flight. I bought couple of good books to occupy myself, since I can't sleep, but heck, if Leisha's gonna be around, at least there's gonna be some company. What's better, her boyfriend, Greg, is coming to Singapore a week later, and probably will be on the same flight when I'm heading back to Atlanta, so there's another company.

I'll be touching down on the 22nd, slightly past midnight. Since I won't have a local number, for the time being, please contact me at -deleted-, leaving me your name, a number where you can be reached, and I'll try to get back to you as soon as I get a temporary SIM card.

I'll try to put up my travel log once again, look forward to that.

Okay, see you guys!

Injustice

I've not felt such injustice for a long time...

Probably should not blog about it, until finals are over, as I still have two more major papers I need to take, and am in a serious need of sleep as well.

But I went into my probability exam very confident of landing an A, only to find out that the final exam was nothing I've imagined it to be, very abstract, the open notes policy didn't help. And to think that some people were allowed to skip the final based on a high average by just having an upper hand in being able to obtain the test material from a website - well, that's a story I'll have to tell next time I get to blog. I would have thought that I was probably one of the few people in the class who actually knew what was going on in the class and whatnot, and to be shafted while the guys who probably don't have equal understanding of the material as I do get away with an A and me getting a B... well, that's just making me mad. What's more, there's practically no ground for argument against this, as no rules were broken. Sometimes, you just gotta sit there and take the unfairness.

My MSE results are out.. I made a 87, which means I got a B, and I should be happy, but not getting an A in probability renders it pointless.

Unless, somehow, a miracle takes place, of course, which I'll find out when the final grades are out on monday, but I highly doubt that there will be any chance of that happening.
