This week is supposed to be science e-learning week, but it's turning out to be quite similar to other weeks. the only noticeable difference is that i can legitimately skip 2 modules' worth of lectures. that aside, it's pretty much the same. my other 3 modules are either non-science, or require me to be physically present (lab), so i'm actually still in school as much as compared to during a regular week. bleh.

the most significant event that's happened so far this week is my japanese mid-term. at the risk of sounding overconfident, i THINK i can score close to full marks. 45/50 (90%) seems to be within reach...assuming that i didn't forget any extended vowels and that my listening scored decently. after all, i know what to do for practically all of the questions. i've thought of a new strategy to help with those listening questions that give you a frame of reference, and ask you to deduce what day it is. now, i simply write out the days of the week in japanese in order, and count as necessary on the paper. so much easier than trying to do it mentally.

tomorrow, i may go do a little shopping. depends on my mood. i definitely have to do my lab report, and in case i haven't mentioned it yet, preliminary processing has shown that this set of data has the potential to be the worst data i've ever collected in my time in NUS. definitely dreading writing the report. well, as a small consolation, my friends may end up going down with me as well. but i guess i'll see how bad it is tomorrow, before i decide on whether to cal SOS or not.
