I understand now the meaning of hell and the "year 3 crisis".
SC4215D at 9 am tomorrow and SC2204 at 5 pm. Thank God their subject material is relatively similar and thank goodness I have Pam and Wilson to stick both papers out with me.
SC2210 on Thursday at 1 pm and then it'll be over.
And all I can do after that is cross my fingers and toes and hope and pray really really hard that the two A+ grades which I've received this semester haven't gone to waste.
Dear, I'm sorry to have worried you; I get these bouts of pessimism sometimes, so don't let it bother you, ok? But thank you for loving me and being here anyway. :)

There've been lots of changes in my life recently after one um.. major change. Lol.
My hall room is suddenly getting really packed, and I've somehow managed to accumulate a LOT of new stuff in what must be record time.
A new pillow.
A new pet.
A new sound system.
All in the space of... five days? 0_o
Bizarre. But I'm thankful anyway, dear. :)
Anyway, the new pet: a hamster. My first hamster, really. Before this, the only pets I had were three mice. And I'm constantly finding out in rather shocking ways that hamsters' daring apparently has no limits.
Previously, with my three mice, if they were in a high position and the ground was too far away, they would just stay where they were.
This hamster, by contrast, not only attempts to plunge headlong to certain death (if he hits his head), but even does it backwards-- yes, he even motors *backwards* till he falls off.
It's really quite disturbing. *shakes head*
But, here: everyone, meet Nuzzle.
A small male hamster of Winter White breed. Judging from his size and how often he eats and sleeps, it's likely that he isn't anywhere over a year old, the little munchkin. ^_^
It's also good to know that he utilises the wheel quite often. Although half the time, he's not actually running in it. He sleeps and eats in it too. :P
And, the new sound system, which was acquired only today:
Creative's I-Trigue L3500. This is a shot of the speakers alongside my laptop; yes, don't mind my wallpaper now. I've been told that it's the furthest thing from what you'd expect to find on a girl's desktop. :P
There's a subwoofer as well, which isn't in the shot since it's under my table.
And the whole system cost just $79 at the Creative Warehouse Sale!!
I swear, Creative gives "daylight robbery" a completely new meaning-- it reverses it; it's as if it's enticing customers to come rob the store by buying all these products at dirt-cheap prices. :P

9.30 am.
The view from my hall room's windows is better than that of my own room at home, in some ways.
At home, the only things that my windows look out on are the windows and backyards of all the neighbouring houses.
In my hall room, my windows are subtly obscured by a tree.
This morning I realised how soothing the view could be.
With the blinds down and half open, swaying in the breeze generated by my ceiling fan, and the leaves and branches of the tree itself swaying in the wind and dappled sunbeams playing upon the green and brown.
I wish every day of my life was like this.
Mornings with the sound of birds and rustling leaves, of trees filled with sunlight, and all the time in the world to sit and stare. And listen to you tell me that you love me. :)
But the books are calling.

Life... is good right now. ^_^
Coz Gerri actually got an A+ for her SC4215D term paper.
Got the shock of my life when I saw the grade staring up at me from the cover page of my paper: "Excellent. A+"
I wanna frame up the paper man. Lol.
The very first level 4000 module I've ever done, and my term paper turned out so much better than I expected. XD
And there was a second kind of shock waiting for me when I got back to hall; *that* question got asked a lot sooner than I expected. :P

Since it's already 2.32 am... I was shooting last night since our range will be closing for upgrading work on Thursday.
And I got a new top score for the 50m distance. :D
Previously, my highest score at 50m was 277/360; I think I achieved that during the NJ shoot, I can't really remember when.
And last night it hit 281.
Gerri is very very happy. XD

In the small hours of the morning, breathing in the cold pre-dawn air--
i m always quite worried
With quiet piano music playing and the sound of a keyboard tap, tap, tapping--
always feel like i shd be doing sth to mk u feel beta
A book open to pages of blue and green highlights and red lines and scribbles--
care for u ma
And a tiresome two weeks that loom ahead.
tt y i say i hv a soft spot for u
But at 2.02 am in the morning, Gerri felt loved. ^_^
