Sigh... why must this happen everytime?As we get ever closer to another set of tests, I find myself falling sick again. Maybe it's some psychological reaction I have, I don't know. What I do know is that this is seriously irritating.I haven't done much studying today. That's looking at things from an objective viewpoint. Number of hours put into studying is amazingly low. Nevertheless, I feel somewhat better now that I've more or less covered Statistics. I've memorized the few different formulae that are used in these 3 chapters (although they give them in the test paper), I've worked out when to use which formula, and so on. I think I need more practice, but at least the foundation is quite alright.I'll be doing some MOB later tonight, simply because it's the first paper. Going by that same train of thought, I probably won't be doing any Economics until one or two days before the paper itself. That sounds scarier/riskier than it actually is; I already do have quite an alright understanding of most concepts so I should be okay. I'll make sure of it as we near Friday.The only module I'm really worried about this time around is probably ITAB. Having done next to nothing for it (plus the fact that it's difficult to really revise for this subject; the textbook is only really useful when there's a teacher around) during the whole term so far, I have cause to be worried. I'll just polish up whatever I know and push for as high a grade as I can get. No minimum standard set for this one, that's for sure.I have to do really well for Statistics, Economics and MOB. Statistics, to make up for my horrendous SPSS results. Economics, to shut the face of my stupid teacher. MOB, simply cause I feel that it's possible to do well for it.For PACC, I'm just aiming to continue my slow but sure improvment. My first test ended with a 54, second with a 57, and third with a 70. While by no means good scores (especially when compared to other people), the fact that there's an upward trend gives me something to shoot for. Aiming for a B+ or maybe even an A this time around.So that covers everything. I hope things go well... I'd like to head off to Shanghai in a good mood, not under a cloud of disappointment.I also hope my mild flu clears up, or at least doesn't get worse, during the week. This doesn't bode well for a trip to a cold place. I wouldn't like to fall really ill on holiday. Has happened to me before and, without a shadow of a doubt, it's hell.Well, here we go then.
