Okay...finally I have 'some' time to settle down abit and relax so thought I'll post what the past few days have been like to me...so here goes...
It all started on Thursday night when I had some exercises to do for the next day. So I went back to my room after dinner and started to work on those exercises. Unfortunately, the subject was statistics (data analysis and research methods) and here are the equations:
Math = numbers + calculation = Statistics
Car Mun + Math = disaster
So I went on to do those exercises and as I looked at the 1st question, my heart started to beat faster and I started to panic. You see, I had jazz exam the next day as well so I had to finish up my stats quickly in order to be able to study jazz after that. However, once again it's stats and stats = math so obviously I had a difficult time. I tried and tried and got so frustrated that I decided to give up and try it again the next day after my jazz exam. So I studied my jazz, listen to the jazz cd (part if the exam consists of being able to recognize some jazz tunes) and went to bed. The next morning, I got up, switched on my laptop and started to check my emails before going for a shower. And guess what? My jazz lecturer emailed all of us to tell us that the exam was postponed to Monday because the hall that our class was held in had some audition thing going on! I was so mad!! I had to panic the night before because I thought there was going to be an exam the next day and now I have 3 exams instead of 2 the following week! I was so frustrated and felt as if someone was playing games with me. So I went to drown myself in the showers. After that, I decided to do my stats calculations and guess what? it took me 2...yes TWO freaking hours to solve ONE calculaiton question! I knew I was Math dumb but that was bad!! Again, another thing to add to my frustrations...But I did manage to get them done at a later date...greatest thanks to Darren for showing me the solution that was so simple I could have killed myself...and also to Lay Poh who taught me how to use my own calculator...now you know how bad I am...
The following days were the weekends and that was when I planned to devote my time to stats (going to have the exam on Mon or Tues). We have a list of terms and essay questions to study for and so I logged on to Blackboard to check for the terms and to go through all of them. When I got to my stats page and clicked on the edu exercises (that's what it's called), a sign came out saying 'System Error'...you cannot imagine my face...I was mortified!! And the system was not fixed until Sunday night so you could imagine my panicking and despair...so yea...so much for the end of the week and my weekends. I thought they are supposed to be the days that most people are looking forward to...Guess it's not that time for me yet!
