Believes she was born with her foot in her mouth, and sprouts the most random nonsense. Has egoistical tendencies, sticks by her principles, extremely hard-headed and a tongue of venom (when provoked). Otherwise, she's a harmless little fart. Really. Easily bribed with Starbucks' hot chocolate and colourful balloons.

TitleMeep?

A’right, finally done with one midterm exam. One which I studied extremely hard for - so I hope the results will pay off in the end.

I am after all, grade conscious. Make that extremely grade conscious.

Anyway, the purpose of this entry is to pimp my new design on Brendalogy.Net. (Maybe not quite, since I’m rambling about other matters here as well but … you get the point.)

It was designed during one of my classes - yesh, bad, bad me - when I somewhat lost interest halfway in what the professor was yammering on about. So, it gave me an excellent opportunity to practise illustrations and design elements on my tablet. ;)

I’ve plenty of other stuff to do for the next few days, despite the fact that it is supposed to be my one-week long midterm break at this moment. Yet, I have to come back on the first day of my break for an exam (today), not to mention another one at the end of the midterm break - next week, to be exact.

It goes against the rationale of having a midterm break in the very first place, and completely shatters the concept of a ‘break’. Huh? Break?!? What break?

One more paper to study for.

One (half-completed) assignment.

One (barely started) report.

Plus, even more coding for my FYP.

All these, on top of having to cope with yet another relapse which took place the past couple of days - which leaves me practically no time for anything else.

So, apologies if updates are few and far between over the past few days (and for the coming week). And if you don’t see me lurking around your blogs as of late, it’s because of the same reason as well.

Le sighhhhhhh.

Hi Brenda, hope the exam went fine:-) And all the work during what was supposed to be your break will someday really pay off, this I am sure. Me, I am on holiday from work, but as a part time student of computer science (first semester) I have got to get things done, too:-)

It’s a SHEEP! omg so cute. :D Plus I’m a bit in love with sheep because of the whole knitting thing. Without sheep where would I be?? I wish I could design. That is SO cute.

Also, that is NOT a break. Good luck!

Hahaha YAY!

Glad to see there are so many people around who love sheep as much as I do. (:

Cheers,

Hey Brenda! With midterm situation, cant u complain to the dept? or the dean perhaps? its against school regulations to give exams during the break though.

And I’m sorry to hear about your relapse. Hope u feel better soon.

Brenda’s reply: Actually, giving midterms during the break seems pretty common in my university. :( So there isn’t much I can do about it apart from giving it my best shot. ;)
