Going to school in half an hour's time. Managed to get the four proofs done yesterday. Except one part, which I believe I'll have to sit down for an hour to get the calculation done. Calculation. When there's calculation, it's super tedious. Calculations without numbers. All p, p', s, t... and at the end of it, should get a function of p.

Google became a good friend of mine nowadays. It directs me to sources that answer my questions. Matrix computation questions in particular. I've to present one question next week. Assignment due next week. Econs tutorial next week. Most important of all, my driving test. If everything goes well, I'll probably be happy during the whole of my mid semester break. September. My tuition kid is sitting for her promos at the end of the month. Bet she's going to complain bout her stress the next time I see her. When I was her age, I was stressed too. And somehow, this stress carries on till now. I guess, a certain amount of stress is going to tag along, no matter is it studies or work. As long as one can handle stress, it isn't something bad, as it gives one motivation to meet his/her expectations.

Indeed, I'm fortunate to have my supervisor as my supervisor. Haha. He's nice, helpful, encouraging and everything. But most important of all, is the fact that I look up to him. Despite his busy schedule, he makes time for all his students and he carries out all his duties in school well. He shows enthusiasm in his teaching, in his research. He is friendly. He smiles all the time. When I was leaving school after my 7-10pm lecture, he was still in school. Sometimes, when we look at him, we think of his popularity among students, the fact that he's a very good lecturer and helpful person. We sometimes wish, if only we're like him. Now that he's my supervisor, I see the workload he has to handle. And sometimes I think, I rather have more free time and be less successful than he is. It's so contradicting of myself.

Before I go into some deep thoughts of whether I want to be like my supervisor next time, it's time for school. Haha. I'll meet my supervisor in the afternoon. But before that, I gonna go for graph theory lecture. Sitting right under the lecturer's nose actually helps a bit in appreciating his proof. I'll grab a front seat later. :)
