Here's a sign that I've probably spent my day productively:
Breakfast: 8 Digestive biscuits, 1 cup Milo
Lunch: Starbucks Iced Brewed Coffee, tall
Dinner: Subway 6-inch steak sub, 1 bottle Coke Blak
Supper: Orange juice
Drinking orange juice evokes vivid impressions of cramped cabins, solicitous (or not so solicitous, depending on airline) air stewardesses, ceaseless engine hum and endless hours of tedium. Dreams about airports and air travel etc. have begun popping up, right on schedule. I am also sleeping way too much for someone who's supposed to be cramming for finals.
Last exam is tomorrow, thank goodness, and then afterwards it's an all-nighter(s) rush to finish a term paper due on Monday. Which, naturally, I haven't started yet - but it's for a pass/fail class. (That's what I say
now, but come Sunday, it'd be hell all over again.)
One thing I've learnt from this semester: choose study buddies well. My study buddy for organic chemistry is this grimly-driven PRC third-year Biochemistry major. We get serious work done, and there isn't a lot of irrelevant small talk - in fact when we were walking back to our dorms at the end of a full day's worth of organic chemistry (time at last for idle chit-chat, one would imagine), we were discussing Archimedes' Principle and how it relates to global warming and ice-cap melting. I made a mistake with my physics study partner, and (long story) ended up almost dropping the course 2 hours before the exam - which would have been a tragic, tragic screw-up.
