Ramblings

Its a tad few hours to my next paper and I've yet to finish studying.
And I'm still blogging.
Okay maybe not a few hours, I still have slightly less than a day left.
The major issue here is that my productivity is dependent on the weather.
Problem?
Major.
Because yesterday was a drizzling day meant that my studying went well, what with metadata is data describing data and nots. I still don't really understand my literature-loving lecturer of an accounting module.
Well, before we let the angst of being unable (note unable, not unwilling) to study in this weather, let me do a wee bit blogging.
This was one hell of a semester.
Over-estimating myself (again), I accepted the uni's recommendation of taking up 5 core modules this semester. That was wayyy insane simply because I wasn't really juggling last sem's set well.
Yep, to add-on (this is really becoming the fave phrase of us), my business mods this sem are superrrrr project/presentation intensive and my 2 other accounting mods are horrendously content heavy. Two textbooks for my paper tomorrow.
So this very much surmises the fact that the long project hours in school are justified. When I meant long, I don't mean 6-hour long. It's just how we willingly agreed that a very long day of project is better than many short meetings throughout the week. And so it was decided. 4/7 days of recess week was on day-long projects, and most sundays are back-to-school days for more meetings.
And projects don't end at 6pm. Projects don't end at after dinner-time. Projects only end when the security guard wants to go home so he chases us out of the building. This usually happens at 12mn. And they don't end end. They end to continue on the next meeting.
And since the midnight cab fares are cut-throat, I have no choice but to start driving to school. And then I realized that driving to school save a million hours for me so pretty soon it became a bad habit. Read: high fuel and parking costs
Then there comes the tutorials which we have to do because tutorial presentations just spring up on us. And because project meetings are killing our time, we just never ever meet for tutorial presentations anymore. So when a crazy question is fired, we smoke our way through the smoky forest and finally turn to our group mates helplessly, and by which a smartass who still has time to mug the textbook will announce the explanation.
All these come at a price, but its a price worth it.
Because of all these group meetings, school is totally rave.
Love my bizcom group mates who just go crazy in the middle of meetings and start laughing at baby pandas or dance around the sectional room. Love my marketing group mates who always come up with last min skits that we have to incorporate into our presentations and who always have the craziest ideas. Love my biz anal group mates who are so damn witty that all I did was to beautify the project slides. Love my managerial acct group mates who always have answers so if I didn't do my tutorial I'll just take theirs to present. Love my AIS group mates who totally went through hell with me to get that insane report done up.
So I'm just really thankful to be where I am today after all these experiences and pleasure of working in groups. I'm sure that in future when I go out to work, my group mates wouldn't be so nice to each other so I'm just gonna treasure the life I'm having in uni.
1 more week to freedom then... HOLA!
