Halloween.

The hardest day of this week is finally over!  The midterm was mediocre, not too bad but definitely not the greatest.  I tried to cram right after my midterm for my lab quiz, but ended up just skimming everything and gave up.  I don't like studying everything just a few hours before the test.  I just get frustrated and fail to memorize anything.

Since it's Halloween today, some people dressed up.  I only saw a few people dressing up, but it's nice to see some spirit throughout the campus.  I've heard that people dressed up as pokemon, pokemon trainers, transformers, Psy, Darth Vadar, Terry Fox, dinosaurs etc etc.  I wish I stayed on campus mroe and noticed the people around me, but I had to cram for my midterm and quiz.

Need Food.

I just want this week to be over with.  I've been studying for my ecology midterm for ages now and I don't think I've absorbed any material.  I'm not looking forward for tomorrow as I have to cram a lab quiz right after my midterm.  Not to mention I'm studying with an empty stomach.  I seriously need to load up some junk for for this term...

Hurricane Sandy. (October 29, 2012)

I didn't have to go to school today, but my group still wanted to meet up today to talk about our presentation.  It wasn't a long meeting though, thank god.  I got home before the wind started to pick up.

I guess I did a lot of studying tonight, but I'm still not ready for the midterm because there's just too many animals and plants to know.  All I want to do is to get over with this midterm and move on!

Lots of Rain.

Wow, I'm actually pretty tired today.  I didn't do much at Tam because I just helped out with some skill challenges.  The ride back wasn't as long as I thought it would take.  Curling at Waterloo was pretty good, as we totally dominated the other team.  Classes are cancelled tomorrow, so I don't even know if I'm gonna go out, but I need to find lunch.  The rain tomorrow is not helping either.  Plus, I might have a meeting...  I guess I'll see how I feel tomorrow.

Nightmare of BIOL 370.

The day started out bad as I woke up from a nightmare about my BIOL 370 mark (Apparently I failed in my dreams).  I have a feeling that it might be a reality soon.  Then, the CS 100 wiki server was down for a couple of hours.  That postponed my schedule in completing my assignment and then start studying for my midterm next week.

Day 2 of figure skating was full of surprises.  A young Canadian girl surprise the field and won the competition, while Patrick Chan derpped and finished second.  My favourite ice dancers, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir redeemed themselves after a shaky short dance.  I'm always so amazed with their lifts!

I finally got the chance to start studying for my BIOL 350.  I'm not feeling great about this midterm as there are tons of names and characteristics of animals to remember (including some scientific names!)  Time to start cranking those gears in my brain!

Yawning All Day.

I kinda slept in today because I slept pretty late yesterday, helping Steph with her music composition.  I did some CS 100 before watching figure skating and my TV shows.  CS 100 proved to be very tedious again.  It's good that i'm learning all these new skills, but the assignments are just long, boring and pointless.

Figure skating was pretty exciting because Canada is doing pretty well.  It's nice to see that there's an upcoming star for women's singles (unlike the so-called 'veteran' that keeps choking in competition).  Too bad I won't be able to watch some of it tomorrow as I have to teach piano.  Hopefully there will be  some replays online..

Bail-outs. (October 25, 2012)

One of my group members decided to bail out on the meeting today.  I was actually ready to get all the brainstorming done and get things over with.  This is not a good sign for this project.

The Greyhound bus took a long stop at Cambridge, which postponed the arrival time.  I was going to get a bit at McDonalds on the way back home, but I didn't have enough time.  I ended up getting back home around 8:40, so I had to drop off my stuff and leave right away to go practice curling at Tam.  Good thing that I wasn't too hungry.

Real Food.

Today was a long day.  Time passed by so slowly today.  I ended up getting some pasta at SCH for lunch, but it wasn't that great.  Then I shopped at the Waterloo clearance sale and got myself a pair of sweats.  I got a large, thinking that I could where it at home only, but it appears that I could JUST fit into it (it's still loose).  The lab was short (thank god!) and I get to go home to shower and eat lunch with Harry and Agatha.  Can't wait to to go back to Toronto tomorrow!

Rain.

Rain, rain, rain.  I hate rain.  My shoes are pretty old, so it doesn't take rain very well.  Wet sock?  Yes, very uncomfortable.  The music midterm was pretty easy, so that was good.  I've been living off soup for lunch for the past 2 lunches, so I am determine to get some real food tomorrow.

Back on the Ice.

Finally back on the ice for some good curling. I was afraid that I'll have some sort of bad flashback because of the fall. At first, I was a bit uncomfortable, but I quickly gain confidence when I took my first slide. Overall, I played okay and it was a great that our team bonded well.

I wish I could say the same with my BIOL 350 group. Hen I came back from curling, I have this long ass chain of email to go through. It was pretty difficult to follow along. To me, there seems to be a possible conflict in interests. What bugs me is that I wasn't able to have any say in it because I didn't have access to email. Now I have to go hunt down people tomorrow and hope that I'll get everyone to be on the same page.

No More Stitches.

I got my stitches out today.  My doctor was being really aggressive during the removal of the stitches, so it was pretty uncomfortable.  The wound bled a little bit, but nothing too major.  Hopefully, the wound will heal up fast enough before my grad photos.

Long Drive.

The drive back to Waterloo wasn't too bad, but the tutorial was totally not worth it.  All I basically did was just getting the assignment and breeze through the tutorial exercises.  The drive back to Toronto was ridiculously long.  There were traffics and accidents everywhere.  Then my mom had an emergency and asked me to bring her some veggies for the shop.  Originally, I was supposed to bring my brother to Kim's for a haircut tomorrow, but apparently I got the dates wrong.  I guess I didn't read properly that Kim changed it to tonight.  Either way, good thing I found out early enough.

Healing Wound.

My wound is started to hurt a little bit after 3 days since the incident.  I think that means that it's starting to heal.  I'm starting to get sick of the baby food I'm eating.  I can't wait until my jaw gets better so I can eat some real food, but that's not until 2 weeks later.  I need to find smaller bandage because the ones I have are too big.

Nothing Broken.

I went to the doctors today to see if I need an x-ray and see how my wound is doing.  He said that I was doing well and I don't need an x-ray.  He also said that it'll take up to 2 weeks for my jaw to fully recover from the impact.  I spent the remaining of the day playing pokemon. =D

Starvation.

I managed to get a temporary section change for my lab and completed my quiz before I left Waterloo.  Best part of the day was my dinner.  Marble Slab milkshake with white bread. MMM.

Sore Jaw.

My jaw was too stiff today to even eat a tea biscuit.  Hence, the only thing I ate for lunch was half of a tea biscuit and a cup of tea from Timmy's.  My prof for animal physic emailed me this morning saying that I can do a 85% final.  I decided to just tank through the midterm instead (which I failed miserably). At dinner time, my jaw is a lot looser, though there was one part of my jaw that feels weird (something to do with my nerves?).  I really hope I didn't fracture my jaw bone.

Stitches.

So today wasn't exactly my luckiest day.  Curling was bad because there weren't enough teams to play. Then, I tripped on the hack and fell chin-first on the ice.  I didn't think it was THAT bad until I saw this big gash on my chin.  I thought to myself "yup, stitches for sure!"  The funny thing was that I was laughing my way through.  It was my first time getting 'hurt' and going into the ER and boy, the wait was long.  I ended up waiting for about 3 hours before a doctor came to get my stitches done.  Good thing Vivi was there to keep me company.  I ended up getting around 7 stitches.  What's weird is that my jaw hurts more than the wound right now (probably because the doctor froze my chin).  I'm worried that my jaw is gonna be weird for the rest of my life.  I have a midterm tomorrow, and I totally wasted a lot of time.  I don't even know if I'm up to writing the midterm through pain.  I have to decide what my options are.

I Hate Animal Physiology.

Studying for animal physiology midterm is so boring.  I don't think I'll do well on the midterm because the material are so boring.  Non of it is really going into my head.  Not to mention I have other things to worry about, like the group meeting tomorrow.  I didn't start reading my article yet and it's around 16 pages long.  I need to somehow skim it and pretend that I know what's going on my 5pm tomorrow, while study for my animal physiology exam...

Steak, Yum. (October 12, 2012)

I just realized that there's steak at SCH every friday.  Looks like I'll be going to SCH for lunch every Friday to get some protein into my system.  The greyhound ride back to Toronto was pretty quick.  We got back home pretty late though since we took a later bus.  I just realized how little time I'm spending in Toronto and how tiring all this traveling is.  I'm thinking of not coming back home that often, but there's also teaching piano.  To be honest, I didn't want to teach piano in the first place, so basically I got pressured into doing it.  Now it's really biting my ass back.

Free Soup.

I was going to do a lot of CS today, but I ended up going out for free pork bone soup.  It wasn't as good as the ones in Toronto, but it was free regardless!  I was late to my music class, but apparently it was kinda one of those "extra" lectures that we don't really need to know.  I guess it good for me because I didn't miss any exam materials.

Chilling.

My week is basically over.  I finished my music assignment today and it took earlier less time than I expected.  After class, I basically chilled until hot pot started.  Since I kinda slacked today, I'll have to work hard tomorrow.  After all, I have another midterm for next monday, which is the course that I'm most worried about.

Midterms...

One midterm down, and a billion mores to go!  The histology midterm wasn't TOO bad, but I messed up on a couple of answers because I was just stupid.  I tried to cram for my music quiz, but ended up just skimming it and gave up after awhile.  There were some questions where I had to guess, but it's all good!  Now I just need to get myself to start on my essay...

Thanksgiving Dinner Part 2.

I skimmed through my music material because I spent most of the time studying histology. I entertained my grandparents and aunt by playing mahjong with them. We had our second thanksgiving dinner, which was a lot better than yesterday night. Now I'm just waiting for my ride to go back to Waterloo. I don't even know if I'm gonna sleep early tonight...

Thanksgiving Dinner Round 1.

I studied for the majority for the day until I had to teach piano.  I think I got most of the stuff down, though I'm pretty sure there would be a lot of curve balls on the exam.  The Thanksgiving dinner was alright - wasn't too spectacular.  Time to go back to studying because I'll have to entertain my grandparents and my aunt for the entire day tomorrow.

Sleepless.

I didn't sleep well last night again, despite of sleeping in a good environment.  I only had one student coming in today so I had some time to study (one cancelled last minute).  Steph came over for a crash course on intervals.  After giving her a crash course, I passed out for an hour or so until dinner time.  My mom called and asked me if I want to go out for sushi with her and Patchi.  At first, I wasn't going to because I already ate dinner at home, but I decided to go anyways just to chill.  In the end, i ate just as much as them.  Yeah, I'm pretty much a fatass now...

Better Than Expected.

Today was actually better than I thought!  The tree test went pretty good, though there were some trees where I had no clue what they were.  The wait for the greyhound wasn't too bad, though I probably budded some people.  Since we got back earlier than expected, we met up with Kim and went to Eatons to try out some glasses to see what kind of glasses to order online.  After we had a quick snack (more like dinner for me) and went back home.  I should be studying right now, but I'm so pooped!

Stress Mode On!

The stress is on!  I have so much to do over the weekend.  The tree test tomorrow is gonna be hell.  I don't have enough sleep either.  This is bad, very bad...

Smooth Day.

I was pretty productive today!  I finished my CS assignment earlier than I thought.  I did some tree studying and actually went out to look at some trees.  The lab tonight was short again, which was excellent.  I also finished writing my personal statement for Ryerson!  Now I'm trying to study for histology, which is the only thing that's not progressing smoothly.  Oh well.

Crappy Internet.

I just realized how much work I need to do for next week.  Not to mention that it's thanksgiving weekend.  I already have lots of plans made and I don't think I'll get much studying done.  That means I have to work harder before the weekend comes.  This shitty internet at home is not helping at all!

Healthcare Club.

I pretty much worked my ass off today. Did some cs and caught up with my readings in music. I tried studying for my tree quiz this Friday, but it was really hard to remember all if the tree names and its attributes.

I joined a healthcare club because Charlene told me to check it out since her friend is the president of that club. There is a conference at Queens, but I don't think I'll be attending because its on a weekend before my presentation is due. I think it's pretty irresponsible to leaves group hanging so I guess it's not meant to be.
