Multi-Tasking
Accoding to non-verbal intercultural studies on chronemics, I belong to a monochronic culture, whereby time is very important, am more task oriented, and would rather do one thing at a time. As a result, I think I am not that good a multi-tasker. That is why I hate exams or test which falls on the same day, and the same applies to projects. Perhaps that is also why I felt it real bad during the 12th and 13th week, when almost deadlines were around the same dates.
I think this can be both a good thing and a bad thing, whereby I can stay really focused on some thing, but then again I tend to neglect other things. But somehow or rather, as ironic and illogical as it may sound, my mind seems to react otherwise. It somehow tends to naturally multi-task, thinking about so many things at one time. When studying, I will always think about other modules, about after exams, about papers which have finished, and everything else under the sun, except focusing on the notes in front of me. Someone needs to drill the point into me that:
There's no point thinking about after exams, as I still have to get past the exams first. And, there's no point thinking behind about previous papers, as the only thing that is probably going to change by thinking about previous papers, are the marks in my future papers (as I am probably going to lose marks by being so distracted).
Sorry for the ranting here again, but this blog post shall serve its purpose as a self reminder to myself.
And pui, blackburn actually lost 0-4 at home to villa. To me, apart from blackburn, villa is perhaps the other most improving side in the premier league, but to lose by that big a margin at home is horendous. What happened to the ever so steady nelson and samba, with friedel as an execellent last resort. Disappointing, and things started going bad since we lost to united. Then again, if you rewind back to any other previous season, I wouldn't be feeling it as much as I wouldn't be expecting much. But just because bburn started the season so well, expectations on them and from myself were naturally also high. And to think of it, it is an all so familiar scenario I am experiencing in school now :p
