Week 4 and 5: The "Great IMI Depression"

Hey what's going on, y'all? I know it's been like quite a while and how long since I have blogged, but my sincere apologies. I've been very busy for the past week since I have been burning up for my assignments, projects, class tests and everything, which explains it. Assignments and projects are among the stuff which never stop coming. DTAT, CMSK3 and MMP1, in particular, are what I have been burning up on for the past week. And this week, I have been burning up on studying for my CMaths2 test and OOPG lab test.


The CMaths2 test and OOPG lab test were the 2 class tests which I sat for yesterday. Both really blew my brains out like a shell of mortar fire, with the CMaths2 test being quite a, what I might say, not a difficult one, but a rather tricky one. It took me really quite long to think over doing the test questions, and I felt really like I'm under a trauma from it. Well, OOPG lab test actually wasn't so bad, I just had to do 7 programs for 3 questions, but the crappy thing about it was, I was close to finishing one of the programs by an inch, and due to a lack of time, was unable to do so, and I could not compile and run any of my programs. :( But the good thing was, I was able to get most of the basic elements of the object-oriented programming structure just right. :) That's all I can say for the 2 class tests.


Next, I have the DTAT and CMSK3 assignments. It has been quite a tedious process for me in the case of DTAT, where I have to take a hell of a lot of pictures for my first assignment, though for the final part, I only have to use selected photographs. I have been taking a lot of photographs over the past few weeks, and not a day comes by where I tire myself of all these affairs. My research portfolio for my CMSK3 report assignment was originally set to be due this week, but due to a majority of us lacking time in doing our research for the report, as well as a number of errors in most of our portfolios, our lecturer decided to extend it to Monday next week. But our report deadline still stays to Week 14. Whew, that hopefully gives us enough time to do more research over the term break. Same for OOPG assignment to be due in Week 13. I just hope the term break gets a little less tense for me compared to the previous term break in Semester 1 in June. That's it for the assignments.


Other than that, everything's almost coming to an end, such as the DTAT assignment 1 which is due next week, thankfully I have completed about 80% of the assignment by now. The CMSK3 research portfolio just needs to be amended and then submitted on Monday. Today, in the evening, I just had a French lecture and listening and writing mock test. Whoa, the speed at which the lecturer spoke out the words nearly dragged me off the rails. Fortunately, it was just a mock test. The real test will be conducted next week. So I think I better buck up for it by reading through my French coursebook.


Tomorrow is the day everyone loves and hates, as it is IMIND Day, where students from my course ranging from Year 1s to Year 2s to Year 3s participate in all sorts of sports activities just to have a short day of fun. What I do not like about this event is that it is a 3-hour evening event, starting at 5.30pm and ending at 8.30pm. Hopefully this would ease our tension of our assignments. I don't know for sure. But I was just saying this to stay positive. I really would like to relieve myself of the stress I had over the past week.

Well, this is all I can say for now, just hope for the best of relief for tomorrow and that I would be able to make another post soon. Cheers.
