Summer Summer Hot hot!
The weather is ...weird. It was around 8 degrees 2 weeks ago, 19 degrees last week and 33 degrees this week. I think it easily went up to some 34 degrees yesterday. Annette's room and the whole of the third floor felt like a furnance. *Sam, think you feel very glad that you don't live in that room now?* Even my room was warm! It's the coolest part of the house since it doesn't face the sun and is always in the shade. It seems almost strange that I had to open the door wide to sleep. There's just this suffocating warmth that makes you feel choked. Passed by Mineralbaeder (Mineral baths) on the U-Bahn and it's no surprise that the place was PACKED. I seriously wouldn't really want to go to Mineralbaeder on a HOT SUNNY day because of the crowd.
On another note, I finished paper number 2 last Saturday. It was a weird procedure. We were supposed to finish the paper in 1 1/2 hours' time and start at 10am. by 11.30am, only one person submitted the paper while all the others were writing anxiously. So the lecturer(in) told us not to feel stress, just take your time. Whoa! I eventually handed in my paper at 12pm, and there were many others still at it. Spent the rest of the afternoon studying at a friend's place. The weather was already very warm and her room happened to be one of the last few blocks before the forest :(
On Sunday, I overslept (again). Maybe it's because I need to study, but I've been sleeping alot. Woke up a few hours late for my study plan. Started on Maths since I don't want to waste time searching for the English versions of Marketing online before I get the book on Monday (today). *Thanks Jenn for sending me the marketing notes from NUS. I'm getting desperate.* Anyway, I was quite demoralised. For something I love to do, I got really sucky at it. Used to love Math and integration, differentiation.... etc etc because those are the stuff I could do without stress. In fact sometimes without studying, and I would spend time thinking about the question even as I was doing other things. So I sat down and found out that except for basic Integration, I forgot almost every other integration rule. Lacked of practice URGH! *Thanks Ziming for teaching me Math*
