Caffeine-Infused Blogging
February 16th, 2007
i have my coffee and that familiar cloud of “SEI LOR!!!!” looming over my head. highlighters, post-its and a tropical rainforest worth of notes are haphazardly scattered around my desk. my hair is up in a bun. i am starving.
yup, it’s another pre-exam night. another all-nighter. i am going to be so grumpy tomorrow. watch out, world!
i am currently mugging for a Politics exam, the material of which i have totally no clue about. i blame this on my politics lecturer, for his liberalism when it comes to attendance. “i do not take attendance because it is a stupid thing to do, and a waste of my time,” he announced on the first day of class. needless to say, i have ever since foregone many a politics class in favour of a nice long lunch or a shorter academic day. the result? i have absolutely no fucking clue what Woodrow Wilson’s 14 Points are, or why he came up with Idealism. all i want to know is why we call him Woodrow Wilson when his name is really Thomas Wilson.
Isa says Absolutism is a sure topic for the essay section. there isnt even an Absolutism in my notes. what the hell? so if i wrote about brand preference for vodka, do you think Mr Leong would find it funny? absolutly.
nights like this remind me of what a nerd at heart i really am. coz i love studying. yes i’m one of those freakazoids. i cant help it. it’s the rush. and that feeling when you go into the exam room and realize you can answer all the questions … yeah you know that feeling … is it not the best feeling in the whole wide world?
speaking of bests. i had the best valentines day ever.

I believe that no exam should be given on a Friday. That’s just plain evil. With that said, I’m going to study for my exam.

what irony that your teacher say taking attendance is a stupid thing to do…in Politic class….
maybe that’s some of our politicians are trained……not to attend the meetings…or fall asleep when they’re there.

Er it’s really easy to get an A in Mr. Leong’s classes.. you just have to attend his class all the time and take notes :P but ya, it’s actually really easy.

“i blame this on my politics lecturer, for his liberalism when it comes to attendance. “i do not take attendance because it is a stupid thing to do, and a waste of my time,” he announced on the first day of class. “
Funny, many students asked for this liberalism but ended up blaming their lecturers for giving such liberalism when they screwed up XD.
Any lecturer that give me this kind of thing gets A+ in my book. There’s one of my lecturer that want to do this kind of thing (for the same reason as your lecturer) but the uni admin people insisted him to take attendance which left him no choice but to do it. Bah! :(

Hope your exam went well! I learnt about the Wilson stuff last semester but I can’t for the life of me recall anything about it, and I do mean ANYTHING.
Oh well. :)
