Day 7- About Motivation

My heart nearly sank when i got the call from the PS dept today. I thought my appeal for the NM mod was rejected and i had to settle for my 2nd option. Luckily i was in the middle of a class and told the lady i'd call her back. After class i went to the NM dept and yes! they had vacancies for the NM class! Thankfully, because the PS mod i was planning to take as backup is quite difficult and taxing.

Felt better then and I went CL to zap all the readings. While photocopying, I met William there. I think ppl in their last sem look visibly more stressed. I saw the same look on QW the day before.... resigned, rugged, sleep-deprived.... but still optimistic! This sounds a bit bad but now I'm yr3 and seeing all these fellow yr3, knowing that there r ppl subject to the same paper chase, same pressure cooker, you feel a tad less alone. haha

While zapping, I overheard these group talking. 1 girl told the other guy "What did you do to your eyebrows, you look so different! You look like a freak." I looked up unconsiously and the guy in qn was quite embarrassed "Why you say that so loud, you see now everyone is looking at me!" and he looked at me. Everyone in the group followed his gaze and looked at me. Hahaha all I could do was smile back. This guy just had to drag me into his little embarrassing moment..... Haha guys these day are also becoming more vain. I remember 1 friend asking me where to go for eyebrow trimming cos he wants to have it trimmed before his birthday party. Omg, I personally do not visit these places.... this is like a reverse of gender roles! I think I'm quite stuck in the mud over these things....am I?? (Horrified)

Met Merle on the way to the comp lab to upload the workshop website. I took 1 day to rush this out because I wanted to send the link with the debrief letter to all the participants. And waaa.... HYuan wrote on the tagboard that I abused QW again.....Poor me! My hardwork goes unrecognised....lol. I've made a mental note to tell him that the nx time I see him. Oh yes, Merle and I were so funny at the comp lab.

We were trying to read the thumbdrive but the stupid computer couldn't detect the drive. So I logged to the terminal beside. Still couldn't read. Then......wala! after what was like 5 minutes Merle's folder opened on my terminal! We nearly fell off the chair laughing. We got it wrong from the start. The CPU that belonged was to the right of the monitor and we thought it was the left. Of course the computer couldn't read the drive! It was the wrong CPU....Duh!

The team went for dinner XO mee fen at Holand drive. We finally got our reimbursement from Amelia so our pockets felt a bit fuller. The whole meeting was dominated by complaints of exploding telephone bills. I count myself lucky cos mine was $65.68, probably the lowest in the group. But I didn't make much calls la, not like those with gf and bf to call every other night, I only bothered once or twice to send an sms back home.
