Mid-terms have officially started...we just had a paper today, and oddly enough, it seemed almost TOO easy. i saw people walking out of the exam hall half an hour into the hour-long paper. i finished in about that time as well, but i stayed to beautify my answers a little. the standard was a far cry from the tutorials and practice papers we've been receiving. not to sound overconfident, but i think i can get 80+% for this paper. as for the rest of my modules...my confidence is nowhere near this extent. i have maths consultation on wednesday morning; hopefully that'll iron out my doubts about fourier series. as for physical chem, i'll take it as it comes. hopefully tomorrow's tutorial (which i completely haven't prepared for) will help.

today's been one of my more productive days ever since starting school in NUS. managed to do quite a lot, probably because i had a 6-hour break in between my last lecture and the mid-term. finished up my molecular modelling, and got the data i needed faster than expected. i also used the time to check my grades for the most recent bio assignment. this is what i saw:

look at the comment for assignment 2. so primary school! still, i'd be lying if i said that i didn't feel a little sense of pride/accomplishment after reading it. there should be more TAs who are this encouraging. maybe i should do something similar for my tuition kids. now, if only they would give me work which was deserving of such comments...

anyways, it's getting late. i'd better head off to bed. something tells me i won't be getting as much sleep as usual for this entire week.

-random thought of the day: Must finish lab reports!-
