Counting Down the Days and Deadlines

Since the last time I listed all my deadlines, a few has been cleared, and to keep myself reminded, this is what's left.

- IT1004 Term Paper (almost done)
- NM2220 Project (halfway through at least)
- GEK1520 Final Test (just started studying)
- GEK1520 Term Paper (not started)
- NM3215 Presentation (not started)

Well in the next 2 days, another 2 of them will be done. Still alot for the last 2 weeks though, and it looks like I can only start studying in the reading week. Not like I really study that much also. Although there are some other administrative issues I have to worry about also.

- Module Preference Exercise
- SEP Application
- Teaching Feedback Exercise

The worrying thing is that when everything is more or less settled, the deadly exams would have also arrived. Well, it has become not a matter of chionging for my projects, but more of getting them over and done with. Yes, sad but true.

On to other issues, it is always nice to chat with caleb and joshua about life in general, about why we are studying, about life after school, about marriage and the working world. Yes girls, we guys can chit chat about these stuff too, haha. Caleb and I were talking about where we would have been if NUS had not accepted us, and how our life would have been so much different. For the better or for the worse we do not know, but all we know is that the path of life is so unpredictable. Just one small decision in life and the path for your entire life would prove to be different.

Anyway, something dissed me off real bad today. Apparently, one of my project group mates didn't submit the softcopy peer evaluation form for my group, after saying that she would. She only submitted the hard copy, and it was only until I happened to ask her to double confirm today, that she said she did not submit. At first, I was worried it was actually due to miscommunication that we did not tie down who should submit, but when I asked my other friends, they too said that they remembered her saying that she would do it.

She then gave me the reason saying that day so many of us wanted to help to submit, so it was not settled who should do it and eventually she did not submit. What the hell, what kind of reasoning is that. No offence to her, but that is one lame excuse. I was really pissed because so many of us had put in so much effort for this project, and to be honest, I think I myself had put in alot of effort with the website and presentation. Therefore, I was worried that this stupid mistake was going to cost us some marks, so I went to consult the lecturer. Thank goodness she was nice enough to understand, and will not penalise us.

This is going to sound a little crude, but this incident has just reminded of how some people just cannot be relied on. Just to submit one peer evaluation form, and she can't do it. How irresponsible. To be honest, I had this hinch that she was going to forget, but I told myself that I really need to place some trust in her. Guess I misplaced my trust, and should have just stuck to my gut feeling.
