It's another week. Counting down to the end of the semester.

My gosh. AODE is getting harder. Sigh. I thought I could use that to boost my morale this semester.

I feel rather demoralized by my low efficiency despite taking merely three modules this semester. A contrast to the days when I could handle six modules. Maybe I'm getting old. Or perhaps, a good timetable plays an important role. Wasted a lot of time on transport each day. And it's a great waste of money too. Transportation fee is on the rise these days, and each month, I've to spend at least $80 on transport. That's just bus and train rides. Not that I'm taking cabs or something.

I was really embarrassed when my supervisor asked me how I'm coping with my modules. I told him I'm dying. That's a fact. Computational harmonic analysis and AODE are interesting, and I don't mind spending time on them. Of course, it'll be million times better if I'm able to get my doubts clarified during AODE tutorials. The third module is nothing but waste of my time. I get really bored sitting there for three hours each week. I think it's rude to do my own work or doze off when others are giving presentations. Hence, I try to maintain eye contact with the presenter even though I don't understand. Frankly, it's a torture sometimes.

I'm pretty touched to see my supervisor asking the computational harmonic analysis lecturer how his three students are currently coping. Certainly, it's also pretty stressful. Apart from the two of them, the ex HOD was there as well. Sigh. I have to work really hard in order to be up to their expectations. Of course, on the other hand, I'm really pleased to know of their expectations. I think, I worked a really long way to achieve this. And I'm always grateful to all those who helped me out along the way.

Yawn. Sigh. Lots of stuff to be done. Before I go, here are two pics of the graduate office. lol.






I dump some of the books and papers on the side. Purposely avoided them when taking the photos. Haha. For those who had been to my table last time, yes, I changed table. Math department is kind to answer to my request. :) I think they all know that I'm damn problematic. lol.

ok, I think my phone camera is not bad too. Haha. And guess what, I have now a doraemon ringtone, doraemon message tone, and doraemon wallpaper. Haha. I was shocked to find lots of nice themes online. Most of them are for nokia and sony ericsson phones. :)

I guess I better go and do my work. Counting down to the end of the semester.
