Test week is over, now the study recess is coming
I haven't updated my blog for a few days, since I had to deal with my assignments due this Friday and prepare for that Java test. A pretty intensive week, and after that it's a study recess, two weeks. The Java assignment which is a Chess Game almost drove me mad, I really mean it, for those Java codes, I haven't got any sleep from Tuesday to Friday afternoon after I submitted it in lab, I was crazy. The week before study recess seems to be the busiest time for each student, you can tell when you go to the labs in campus 3 o'clock in the morning, there're still students working on their assignments, that never happen on normal days, and I'm one of them. Really good students never stay overnight the week before exams, they study in normal times, you certainly wouldn't see them 3 or 4 am in the lab. At least that proves one thing, those studnets are not lazy or giving themselves up. You can be unintelligent, but never be lazy, though the first one makes your life hard, but the latter one really can kills you
I'm not a program person, program languages like C, C++, Java are my biggest headaches, I'd like to suicide myself before they get me. I hate'em. That's why I didnt' get sleep for several days, I was working on that stupid chess game which worthes 20% grade. I almost gave up, but that 20% does matter, so I thought I'd better do it, being flunked here can't be a joke to me at all, I know that. I'm very confident with other papers, but not for this. Thus, all these days I was concentrating on that chess program, trying to get as much grade as I can. Guess what? I made it! I finished the program 10:20am, and had a test 11:00, the second Java in-class test, I didn't even have time to go over the book, so I didn't get on very well with it. I didn't expect anyway. The chess was not the only assignment due Friday afternoon, I also had to hand in my statistic assignments which covered all problems assigned every week. That was really sore to deal with those numbers after you haven't selpt for a few days, dull mind, thinking slow, when I was in the office of my stats lecturer asking questions, hardly could I tell what I'd like ask clearly. But that old man is a very nice guy, patient, kind. I worked out the questions I left since I didn't have any idea about them with his help. The chess was due 5pm Friday, and I submitted it 4:52pm. The comments for those codes were required, I wrote them in a very rush, pretty simple. I'm thinking I should have started it earlier, but I really don't believe that I could make it.
After all done, I just felt my nose was a kind of bleeding, on my way home, I was trying to think about any possible mistake that I might make accidentally in those assignments, though I was not willing to dig up those mistakes that could make me regret, because it doesn't work once I handed them in. Only, I couldn't let myself stop thinking about those things immediately, and that's a weird thing that I feel upset when I can't think about any mistake because I'm afraid of those mistakes that I dont even know I've made them, however, on the other side, I'm afraid I remember any mistake that I've made, because it's too late to correct them. What a ontradiction. Exhausted, hungry, thirsty, just like a dog roamed around, and got back to its kennel, all it needs are a simple meal, a shower, and sleep... But it was too late to get a shower, I bet there was no enough hot water, so after I gorged my leftover, I went straight to my bed, I just miss my bed...
I was waked up this after by my landlord, that was a call from my mum. I haven't been online these days, and my cellar phone was out of battery, so she couldn't conact me. I still felt a little dizzy, I know it always like that, and this kind of special situation happens 3 or 4 times every year, I mean stay overnights for a few days working on my study, and relax completely, two extremes. Chronic suicide. I took a shower, thanks God the hot water could last after I finished, because some one bathed just before I did, I could tell from the foggy mirror in the bathroom, by the time, I saw the refelection, unkempt hair, beard, sunk orbit, swollen bloody eyes, and pre-signs of pimples, they always wait for any opportunity to show their recognition, and now there it is.
It was good sunshine, I cleared my bed room, washed those dishes and bowls that I left days ago. Then I remember my cotten padded slipper, it has been soaked for almost one week... I swear to God I'm going to wash it... It's just not convenient to wear my leather shoes everytime I go to the kitchen, or even only take a piss. I mean those laces! What a mess, sheets anywhere, books, it's not a easy job to tidy up a room like this, but I have to, that's a part of my life here anyway. Sometimes I complain that I've got nothing to do here, well, then I find myself sth. Clearning bedroom is interesting work to some extent, I could find sth that I've been looking for a few days somehow, and realize that one sock is missing, but the other one from another pair is missing too, so I could make a new pair. It's just like that.
Now, I'm two weeks break.
