Battle of the Exam Date

Something interesting happened today. You know, finals are approaching and everyone is all worked up. I have to admit, this semester has been very tough. Everything is twice as hard. I went to class everyday, every week and still end up knowing nothing about anything. So yeah, everyone is feeling the stress.

The Finals timetable is out and some people are happy about it, some people are okay about it and some are unhappy about it. Today's class featured an emotional debate between the happy and unhappy. I have to admit I think I understand why half the class wanted to have the Pavement Analysis exams on Saturday instead of Tuesday (they seem to have an exam the day before). I also understand why the other half wanted to have it on the set date, to get it over with and move on with other courses. So everyone had their own reasons and priorities.

What got my attention today was how the professor managed to solve the issue calmly, wisely and rationally. I was really amazed at how he controlled the argument, making fair points with an open mind. It's something I wish to learn to do. To be able to solve raising issues in class like a wise owl. Ah... I can only dream to be that kind of professor. :)

I'm too sleepy right now. I'll write more about this tomorow. I think.

Here goes...!

I have got to put my procrastination-ness to an end. We're all done for second tests now. Got only one left but it's take home so should be no problem. So now i'm down to the most feared task... the proposal for my Dissertation.

Here goes.

The guidelines. 

I know it's been a while

I know, I know. I sorta broke my own promise to be an active blogger but I got lazy. Honestly, I got lazy in all aspects of my life. It has been a crazy brainscraping semester and I have been procrastinating like a bish. No matter how I tell myself to get up and do stuff, my brains seem to overwrite it. So I'm stuck with a bunch of assignments and a huge ass proposal to complete.  So about my Masters Journey... Here's the update. Second tests just passed. As expected they were twice as hard as the first ones. I screwed up Highway Capacity, having no clue what I was doing just because I missed ONE important class. I had no idea the jibber jabber I was mumbling about in Advanced Transportation and don't even let me start about screwing up in Pavement Analysis. Everything is sooooo difficult this semester. All this time I keep getting lucky. Scoring high marks and maintaining grades. I just hope my luck hasn't run out. 

No matter how hard i try, i still know nothing

I guess life goes on. I still got a dissertation I need to work on. So far I have compiled like 50 journals. I got like 7 days to complete 50 pages of report and then, a presentation. So far, all is "okay". I still have writer's block, which also explains why I haven't been blogging for so long. This isn't easy. Especially when so many things are distracting me. Rust, shopping, being broke, trying to be skinny. Urgh... I need to sort out my priorities!
