I'm still surviving at the moment...just got back from uni. Had my 15min fieldwork presentation today in front of 11 other students and my fieldwork supervisor. I thought 15min presentation was going to be a dreadful one. Turns out, it wasnt as bad as i thought. Amazingly did my slide show the night before, practiced and timed myself as well the night before..how last min, just glad that it is over. We always have our tutorial classes for fieldwork in a conference room..one big square table with lots of chairs and surrounded by 6 LCD screens! Definitely will never forget the presentation skills i learned from I.S ...Thanks alot to MIss Beatrice LOL...and also from Eynesbury College. Always remember..colour of ur slides...contrast..eye contact...not too many words. Haha.
Anyways, the pass few days was quite stressful, had to complete all the assignments in a short period of time. Phew..just hope it all goes well. With that, due to the stress and lack of sleep and probably lack of fluid, a massive pimple just pop out this time it was on my forehead as illustrated at the pic below. Hurts like hell..and it is quite swollen, feels like i just knock my forehead on a wall or something. At least my fringe is hiding it. Unlike last year, similar case..i was understress with one of the assignments. I had a massive pimple somewhat on my chin plus a massive stye..that took days to disappear. My friend thought that i have conjunctivitis. LOL..and no its not because i look at inapproriate stuff. Im prone to having a stye on the eye for some reason..due to lack of sleep probably, not drinking enough water, or some dirt or dust went into my eye. Brrrr. Oh didnt realise i was wearing the same pajamas hahahaha.
Finally the landlord has sort of fixed the backdoor, this time with the door knob inside and the code thing that we have to key in facing outside. Though it is more secure compare to before, i still feel it is not good enough. Anyone who desperately wants to get into this house can easily break it. My landlord was telling me that she will get the frontdoor fixed as well..bla bla..and was giving lots of excuses with why they dont provide keys or do anything to both the front and backdoor before this cuz students never lock it properly. Whatever reason it is still risky to not have both doors locked. Total nonsense.
I tend to be more sensitive right now with footsteps, door openings that i hear from my room. Sometimes my imagination will just go wild..what if someone knocks down my door..break the glass..window..whatever. Hope it never happens. I use to hate it when the place is so noisy..but right now i reckon its more creepy when the house is quiet, when all the students goes to uni or work.
Ahh..so what is next on the list. Chinese language oral test tomorrow! oh dear. LOL. not completely prepared. I think the first task is introducing yourself to the tutor? or having a conversation and you have to answer in appropriate/polite manner..hahah my mandarin can go rojaks sometimes. Then read out a sentence or two from a passage that we are assigned to read and remember..lol. Sounds easy. Recognizing the chinese characters is a challenge. Then few more online discussion for rural unit..and im done with assignments.
This week is the last week of uni and believe it or not exam starts next week! I hate this uni. How can they take away our study break. With the upcoming 3 weeks break, might as well give take one week out as our study break and i dont mind having 2 weeks off. Sigh.
First paper ...neuroscience. SIGH. I think the lec has one more topic to teach us and she was juggling if she should do a pre-exam tutorial class. Ohhh i would prefer that.
Alrighty..thats it for now. Hungry. Dinner time.
