My deadline to hand in my work was yesterday at 1pm. I rushed and struggled to finish my work... it was to write 12 pages worth of reflection on my progress throughout my years as a student. I had no choice but to burn the midnight oil to finish the work. Here is a brief idea of what I did.
Thursday
0500 woke up
0530 started to edit my work on the computer
0830 hungry, decided to eat some cereal
0845 resumed my work
1400 lunch
1420 resumed my work again, planned to finish everything by 6pm
1800 work not completed
1930 went to uni to print out some stuff
2030 decided to go home bcoz the idiot colour printer did not want to print
2045 gulped all my food (microwaved chicken tikka masala), and started work again
Friday
0000 needed my caffeine boost...had a cup of cappuccino
0500 still struggling to finish up the last few pages
0600 urgghhh...why can't i finish this work!!!
0800 stomach was growling...very hungry..had not had anything to eat since dinner....but I did not have the time to even walk to the kitchen to get some food, or to drink water..
1000 finally finished the typing..now I have to print out the headings for my folder...
1030 still no time to drink water, was too absorbed in printing, drawing boxes and cutting the headings...my hunger pangs have gone
1100 began arranging everything into place..pasting the headings onto the right dividers, and also printing out some of my work to include into the folder...still no time to drink water...
1200 realised that I needed to print out those coloured pages...decided to screw the colour coz I wouldnt have the time to use the printer in the uni. so, I decided to use my black n white printer instead...hmmm..turned out ugly..but nevermind.
1230 30 mins to deadline....began to write down the contents...there were 20 headings..gotta rush. oh..just remembered I forgot to print out the front cover with my name, ID no..
SHIT!!
1245 finally completed everything, changed into proper clothes (was still in my pyjamas) n left to hand in my folder. was thirsty...but again, no time to drink water.
1250 arrived at the uni (quite fast eh? coz I ran, i would usually take about 10mins with a leisure walk). my throat was so dry...as in REALLY REALLY DRY...it was even difficult to swallow my salive...then, I thought, hmm...I sitll have 10 mins left...maybe I should try my luck with the colour printer.
1255 yay!! I managed to print my 2 coloured graphs...was quite happy, but I realised that the colour didnt turn out as nice...probably the ink was low or something..but hey, nevermind, at least they looked better than the black n white graphs!
1300 reached the office to hand in my stuff...was glad to see that I was not late bcoz there was quite a queue, everyone waiting to hand in their work as well.
1315 ahh....done and dusted...wasnt too happy with my work..coz i didnt have the time to read over again..
1330 arrived back home, saw my friends waiting for me for lunch (their deadline was an hour earlier than mine). AAahhh...finally, my first sip of water!!!!
1400 had lunch at a nice pub, decided to hang out at in the shopping mall..was looking for a
nice coat to wear for my oral exam.
1700 discovered a nice coat in Zara..but no size. sigh. was told that new stock may or may not arrive in the next week..so maybe i'll try again.
1730 everyone was in need of caffeine..ended up in starbucks for some drinks. They have new concoction of drinks, like Banana caramel and Java chips (both are frappuccinos). I decided to try Java chips (which has coffee, choc, choc chips..something like Rhumba). It was really good....so thick and just the right degree of bitterness!! I thought the Rhumba was too sweet.
1830 left the city centre and took the bus back to home.
1900 home at last. realised my room was in a terrible state of mess...papers everywhere on the floor, the leftover cuttings all over the place, books here n there.
2030 It is American Idol time!!! had poopcorn too while watching.
2200 very sleepy..couldnt open my eyes, but decided to give my mum a ring (coz i told her i didnt have the time to chat with her yesterday)
2220 fell asleep while speaking to her...sorry mum!
2221 ZZZzzzzZZZZZzzzzzz
By the end of the day, my eyes were straining and aching, my muscles were tensed and I think I have permanently developed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my right arm. SIGH. Such "fun" life I have!
