It's a little more than a week to the start of finals, and the stress factor is starting to creep in. My finals open with Math 293, a course I have been doing well in, and ORIE 320, a course I havent been doing too well in. But before them, I have got one more ORIE 320 prelim this Thursday to deal with. Felt quite accomplished after ompleting the Math HW, but now, I am kinda stuck in my 320 studying. There is no help available at least for the next 14 hrs, because the f****** professor refuses to hand out solutions to the practice prelim.
I have always studied based on practice prelim. I think this approach isi pretty useful, because it emphasizes the important concepts and you can see them being applied into problems. And to make matters worse, my housemates are consumed by CS 211 final project ( and having suffered over summer because of CS projects, I can understand) while my other orie buddies are far away. Really depressing, because I got to simply grit my teeth and plough on. Time is not really on my side too, sighz. the first signs of obvious stress, when you always feel you dont have enough time...
and when tt happens, you tend to make matters worse by simply doing nothing. so browsing away at the endless websites (straitstimes.com, yahoo, soccernet), all which I have visited over the past6 hrs, as well as watch tvb shows on crunchyroll.com etc etc etc. and then it's time to sleep, and you have just succeeded in running away from your fears of exams...
I got to find a way to stop this.
And oh, the sight of a white car from atop my window at my attic every morning almost ruins my day EACH AND EVERY DAY. I hope i will not see it too often, especially over the next 2-3 weeks.
Please respect my wishes, appreciate.
