National Day... and how I spent it...

On monday we, educators at NEI were having classes cut short due to the national day celebrations on campus. But as most of us had a full back-to-back 6 hours before it, many are reluctant to go. Biologically we need food. Luckily our tutor didnt escort us there and told us that we are supposed to be there. Thereafter I went back to hall and tried to clear out the mountain of reading and assignments. Its really no joke when they say things are intense. With a 30+ hours spread over 5 days, everyday morning lesson at 8.30am and ending mostly around 5pm, it is taking a toll on this Night-Owl.

Though I am sleeping earlier ever since I've started. Sometimes noises from the 'wildlife' in the hall and trying to clear some work left me sleeping late. Sometimes I just dont feel sleepy. Anyway I have no problem gettting up on time. The difference is whether I am awake or not. Even if a Night-Owl sleeps early and gets up early, the Night-Owl would still feel sleepy despite sleeping enough hours, because mornings are just not his best times. The brain is not awake. Not to mention I wake up automatically at 7am every morning, even weekends. Screw this biological alarm clock! And I am awake earlier than Tab. She gets to poke me when I choose to stay and laze around in bed.

I chose not to go home for National day cos I have stuff to clear. Not to mention the holiday book syndrome plus more distractions at home. So Tab went back and I stuck myself in the room to do work. So inbtween meals, bathing, readings, guitar playing, game playing, internet surfing and checking for assignments, I managed to get my notes orderly and catch up with one module. The rest I am still chasing the runaway train. Cleared some stuff and I dont feel as stressed but still on my toes.

Sadly being in pilot programme, some assignments are starting and are due very soon.

Which means, while Tab can still read her storybooks and stuff, I am already trying to clear stuff.

Which means, I am feeling the heat now.

Which means if her assignments starts, cos we have some common modules, my stress and workload would have doubled!

Now where is that psychological clinic. Did I mention that some course duration is just 6 weeks so assignments for that module is due on the 6th week and now we are nearing the end of Week 2.

Help.... (feeble tone)
