Just one day after exams, and it's back to business in the lab. kind of sad that i don't have december to rest and recharge like normal. worse is, i can't exactly take it easy for lab work either, because my december has to be used to catch up for research.
organometallics was...interesting. the paper wasn't undoable, but at least for me, required a fair bit of thinking. i'm grateful that i managed to not leave any blanks, and i (for once,) don't regret anything i wrote down, even though i know i had mistakes. the reason is that given my knowledge and state of mind at that point in time, i answered the questions as best as i could. i actually think that this is the best core module exam i've sat for in my NUS life so far.
so, after the exam, we went to the italian place at u-town (the same one where i got drunk last semester) to celebrate. this time round, i performed slightly better, and wasn't completely wasted. guess those holiday drinking sessions helped somewhat. the pricing was reasonable...slightly more than $200 for a tower of beer, 8 (12-inch) pizzas, a soup, and a couple of other drinks. splitting by 7 people, that's close to $30 per person. it's mainly the alcoholic drinks, actually. as usual, we had fun relaxing and just forgetting about stressful stuff.
now that semester's ended, i've got a lot of cleaning up to do. putting the notes away, sorting through the accumulated mass of paper near my table, and various other home improvement projects. not forgetting the usual december routine of an east coast walk. this year, i'm thinking of not doing christmas cards any more. but, i still have about 2 weeks to finalize that decision. also, i'm thinking of rewarding myself with something...maybe a (few) steam game(s) like batman, or...i don't know. something that i would not normally buy, at any rate. well, we'll see.

-random thought of the day: Borrowed (but haven't read) a lot of comics.-
