Mission Accomplished

Yesterday I finally completed the final assignment due for this semester......oh what a relieve !!!!

I had my first good night's sleep in almost three weeks last night. The slumber was so peaceful. Perhaps, the loads were taken off my shoulders when I completed ALL my assignments. I felt so much lighter now. I only had 4 hours of sleep for the past few days as I was struggling with my assignments. At one moment, my mind even went blank ! I've gotten so frustrated...and almost gave up ! It was indeed stressful which caused all those sleepless nights. I was so worried then.



Though I had completed four assignments for this sem.....however I still have to face another hurdle.....my exams next month. I haven't touch any of my four books as yet because I had been concentrating on my assignments. This sem, I vow to finish my revision much earlier.

Rain And Asignment

It's raining dogs and cats outside....gushing down in torrents and I'm still here struggling with my paperwork. I'm half way through it. Our of 4 questions, I have already completed 2...meaning that it's 50% completed....great achievement la. Give a pat on my shoulder.."Well done..Ann...keep up the good work !"

Actually..I'm racing the clock as I only have one week to meet the dateline. What a relief..I still have two days off for Diwali to get things settled.

The past few days...my brain had been pretty stubborn with no contributions at all.

I thought that I had been re-inspired to write. ... Maybe if I didn’t waste so much of my brain power on meaningless piece of essay....which gone out of topic.

I've gotten the idea of working smart. Since, I'm so confused on the questions....this time around I'm going to perform the 'cut N paste' strategy on this assignment. I had found a few writings on this topic from the net. I'm going to reorganise the ideas and put them into meaningful chunks. "Plagiarism"...ya the dreaded word in the world of writing. No choice la...I'm lost.

Assignments

One assignment pending....dateline extended to Nov 2nd. Thus far, I had officially completed 3 papers. Got 'stuck' with this last piece....questions a bit confusing. Therefore I need to obtain certain clarification from my lecturer on my next tutorial (tomorrow).

Hopefully, I'll get good grades for all my hardwork. Seriously, I need these marks badly... in order to maintain good grades this semester.. Well...I haven't been studying lately due to my work commitments in school (approaching year end...lots of reports to settle).

Studying is tough...what more being a part time student.
Not only the assignments are overwhelming but also preparing for exams at the end of each semester......Not forgetting the volume of work that has to be undertaken is too much too many! In addition, I'm taking extra papers...which make the load heavier. My "Pendidikan Moral" paper is also giving me constant headaches as I'm not good at it. Simply not my cup of tea...as I don't and never teach this subject in school.

Studying is hard !
Hey..it's ain't easy to be a part time student as I had to juggle my studies with other jobs and chores....namely my teaching job, my tuition classes, my motherly duties, running the household....the list goes on. Meaning that, inevitably reduced my free time to nil.

Nevertheless, I managed to develop one important skills @ "multi tasks" .
I became more organised and managed my time better. The good point of being a part time student. Not only gain knowledge but experience too.


I occasionally confided to my best friend over this "stressful life". She always encourages me to work harder and never give up.....so what more could I say ?????? Thanks for being such a wonderful friend, Ms. G.


For the past weeks, I had practically put aside all my books and concentrated solely on my assignments. I'll probably be in the "lost world" during tomorrow's tutorial sessions as I did not prepared nor read up anything.

Ultimately, I hope to settle my last paper during this Diwali break. After that, I will have to start preparing my my exams (end Nov). Phew......tension.

I could hardly wait for Christmas break where all my exams/assignments are over. I've planned to go for a short vacation before school resumes in January the 5th.
A well deserved holiday. Looking forward to it. Hooray !!!!!

One more assignment

What a relieve....I managed to complete one more assignment (HBME2103-Pendidikan Moral Tahun 2) a while ago. Tomorrow, will proof read it and then print and bind. Hooray. I still have one left and the date line is 26th of this month. I'm way ahead of my schedule and I'm truly happy about this accomplishment. Thanks to that 9 days break last week which allowed me to fully concentrate on the completion of my assignments.

Super Tiring Days

One week break..9 days to be precise. A good opportunity for me to pay full attention on my course-work assignments (four altogether). Managed to complete only two (fully completed and binded). There other two still pending....as I'm rather blurr with the questions.

Being a perfectionist as well a careful person, I had 'wasted' quite a lot of time going over my writings (proof-read) many many times. Believe it or not, I stayed till the wee hours just to go through each and every words, sentences and paragraphs. It's not one or two pages...but 30 over pages per assignment. Eyes almost go blind now.

I retired to bed almost 4 am since Raya day. I noticed a slight blacken rings beneath my eyes....scary. I need to take a break from work. I need to hibernate like a koala bear tonight. Need to replenish my lost energy. And then dream of having a gorgeous hunk or geek also doesn't matter....sitting in front of my laptop helping me to finish the rest of my assignments.....wow.. on my behalf. It would be a dream comes true if tomorrow morning I wake up to see my assignments lying neatly on my table. This would be better that striking lottery.

Well..after today, I'm going to relax a little bit. This weekend, I don't intend to touch anything concerning my studies. For two solid days, I just want to sleep and laze around. My brain and mind needed a thorough rest.

I intend to go for a facial session, get my hair done ...perhaps a new style..! Buy my self some new clothes as a SELF REWARD.
