Exam Sideeffects, TV Online and the Pursuit of Rest
Exams. One word says it all. If you ever taken one you know what I mean. If you never had the “pleasure” of taking one, let me just name some of the side effects: anxiety, dizziness, confusion, insomnia, sleepiness, panic attacks and memory loss. In extreme cases, exams may cause serious injury or even death…

Groogy Weather, Groggy Me
Greetings again, and sorry about missing two day of updates. Dealing with stress, putting up with administrative nonsense, writing assignments, attempting to dance around illness and living with the sudden wacky cold-wet weather, puts me in a mood where I rather not even poke my nose from under the blanket. On the bright side, everything…

Panic Supression and Firefighting
Day 3 of Hell week #1. At least the security assignment is out of the way. I wish I could say the same about the library research assignments.

Delirious Joy
Had my first exam today. Just as I predicted a practical cakewalk. Funny for a course I spend 0 hours studying for too… The questions were simple enough, a bit of guessing but overall great! I am so happy that this course is over. So two more exams to follow. Data structures… (youch!) and systems…

Hanging in the Balance
What a day… rainy, and very trying with most of the family sick… sigh… Tomorrow is my first exam of this semester. Looks fairly straightforward, multiple choice + 2 scenarios, all for a UI Design course. Funny how the course itself seems to be a mixture of common sense and corporate marketing lingo… (Translation: bs).…
