I laid in bed last night thinking, 'What a difference 2 weeks will make'.Just under two weeks from now, I'll be in Shanghai, on holiday. Until then though, there's a major (major? ha! that's not the half of it!) obstacle in the way in the form of MSTs (Mid Session Tests).I am so unprepared it's freakin' scary. I can't believe I managed to get myself into this kind of trouble. I've asked for it though, really. This whole term I'm sure I've played flash games in class more than, well, actually BEING IN CLASS. Stupid stupid stupid...Well, there's nothing for it now but to hit the books hard in the time I have left. That in itself wouldn't be that much of a worry if not for the fact that there are so many thoroughly unnecessary distractions (as I refer to them) in the way. First, there's IDEA presentation tomorrow, and when a module is as useless as IDEA is, anything and everything associated with it is a waste of time/effort, let alone something as consuming as a freakin' presentation.Then there's my GEM next, on Wednesday. I have no idea how it'll turn out. Things could go REALLY bad or they could turn out okay; I really haven't an inkling on which it'll be. Cross my fingers it'll be the latter, but this is one hope which is really very much in the hands of fate; I have next to no say in the matter.Lastly, we have Economics on Thursday morning. It's hard enough trying to cram stuff into one's head in such a short period of time, but when you have to face someone like my Econs teacher, it just makes everything all that more difficult. I'd rather just use this week to do revision, but then we're supposed to do a tutorial on a topic not tested in this MST on top of a practice paper. I'm fine with the practice paper, it's the (at this point of time) extremely superfluous tutorial that's getting my goat. And if you don't do it, risk facing her wrath. What a fucking pain in the ass.I'm so angry/tired/crestfallen now that I'm just hoping for a turn of fortunes (in whatever form) right now. At the very least, I managed to get through the Stats practice paper without too much difficulty just now (albeit with lots of reference to notes). That's a step in the right direction. But it's only the first of many to come in these next 2 weeks.Wish me luck, I sure as hell am gonna need it.
