I'M BACK!!!!!

FINALLY FINISHED THE FREAKIN' EXAMS!!!! this is prolly my toughest exams thus far, i've never studied as hard in my life before, at first i thought O levels was the hardest studies i had, but this definately won hands down.

IMC paper on Wed, finished it in an hour and headed out, as Garry put it, i just can't be bothered to sit there and think of the answers to the questions i know nuts about, so i cane out, and they were all so surprised that i headed for the exit on the hour mark.

Went back into the study room and continued with my biz policy, i lost touch with my laptop for 2 days there, as i was really determined to put the blardy biz policy paper behind me. If dumb steen had came up with something really similar to previous years' papers we would have all aced it, but as u noe it, he's bastard enuff to flunk half the cohort for the 30% assignment, he came up with a pretty different paper especially for the 4 questions on the lecture topics, the other 2 questions were on the tutorial readings, at least he wasn't that spastic to ask about the topic which most of us did read, he came up with Nutt and Courtney, which KS, Garry, Gabriel and I all did the 2 questions cos we had discussed it and could almost memorise it backwards, lolz, but we had to do 4 questions, so i did the qns on Corporate Governance and Resources. Previous years' question on Corporate Level Strategy was all the same, basically there are 3 sub qns, if not only 1 sub qns is diff, this time all the 3 sub qns were different i was like WTF, i nearly panicked for a moment when i flipped open the exam qns booklet, i tot i was taking a different paper, i took a deep breath and analysed the questions again and thankfully i could do 4, they are 15 marks each and i MUST score 40/60 in order to pass the entire course cos i flunked the assignment..

Just came back from a 3 days road trip to the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast if you guys are wondering where i disappeared to, too tired to post pictures in this entry, i will post it tmr after i wake up, am gonna take a nice long sleep after this, it's been a long time that i haven't woken up after 9am..shall pamper myself for a bit and just slack the whole day tmr, been spending quite a lot of money too, esp during the exam period cos we had to eat out and buy stuff to sooth the soul after a hard daý of studying, retail/food therapy..hee..shall blog more about my trip tmr..so stay tuned..

ps, nearly forgot, we had a post exam celebration feast on saturday, with cereal prawns, teriyaki salmon, chilli crab, spring roll...BIG FEAST!!!..shall post them up soon too...

they were giving this out in the Student Union area on thurs, came pretty handy esp a day b4 the killer paper...it's something like RedBull

the room we were stuck in for about a week...look at all the lecture notes scattered around, all mugging for the killer paper..

studying together is good as we can ask one another if we have any doubts or queries then if we can answer it means that we understand the topic

Pork Chop with Mushroom Sauce on saturday, lunch at Sunnybank on Saturday

thai green curry for dinner on sunday...
