updates.......

realised i've been using the same title over & over again......just cant seem to think of other titles to use....maybe i'm just lazy......anyway,i've been working really long hours last week.......i predicted i'd work about 15 hours the week before......and it turned out i worked for 30 hours....twice of what i've anticipated......its really tiring.....especially when i had to work till 130am on friday & still go back to work by 9am on saturday morning.....the GM is constantly asking me if this is really the type of job i want.......haha....seriously i don't know.....to date, i've complete 55 hours for my placement......at least i'm able to complete the required number of hours so its not too bad....

time flies really quickly.......its already may & i've yet to make a decision.....a part of me want to stay on for honours while the other part of me wants to go back.....there's lots of constraints.....& i just can't seem to make up my mind.....

will be having my midsem exam this saturday.......i'm not particularly scared that i can't pass......but more of afraid i can't get good grades as there's too many theories involved.......i'm really hoping to do well since it's just a level 1 subject......this semester's almost ending and i have 3 more assignments coming up....don't really want my university life to end so soon.......oh well......guess i just have to face the reality......

1 assignment down!!!

finally i've finished 1 assignment....it took me so long to find a suitable article.....the criteria given to us was:

1. it must be a refereed academic journal article
2. it must be related to transport and tourism

finding a refereed article is easy, finding a refereed journal that's related to transport and tourism is extremely difficult!!!!i've found a few good ones......but they're all under the recommended reading list...so we cant use them.....then i found some that're not too bad......but they only talk about transport......it took me 4 days to find something that usable and interesting to read.......for this piece of assessment, we're told to review it.....none of us has actually done a journal review before.....so not sure if all of us are on the right track.....oh well....its submitted....don't want to care anymore.....

i still have CML 3 that's due on monday at 10pm......gonna finish the questions by tonight and discuss with my friend......need to finish my statistics tutorial as well....good thing i only have class on monday next week....but Ipswich Festival's starting next friday......think i'll be super busy during weekends as i need to help Events Corp as much as i can.....thursday was an eye opener for me......i left the company at 515pm....but the staff are still there working hard.......i always have the impression that they'll end at 5pm......maybe cos the event's coming up real soon that's why they're still in the office????to date, i've completed 25hrs of work placement......maybe by next week i'll be able to complete another 15hrs????

Updates

i know its been a while since i updated my blog......once again jon has "requested" me to update my blog......sometimes i really find it a chore to update......but for the benefits of my friends....guess i should update as frequently as possible......

today's the last day of my mid sem break......i spent the first 3 days in goldcoast.....my initial intention was to stay there on monday, stay at my friend's place on tuesday and go to class together on wednesday.....however, my friend decided to go to sunshine coast on tuesday, so i had to change my plans...i decided to stay 1 more day in goldcoast.....because my class starts at 10am, i had to leave my brother's place at 720am........took me about 2 hours to get to St Lucia...i'll never do such crazy stuff again.....

thursday i went for my placement.......was there since 9am and ended at about 445pm......similar to the previous thursday, i basically help the staffs with tiny stuffs such as sending out mails, checking posters for errors, print and laminate them. i also help them to design some signage....if you really want to know what i've learnt so far.....i would say i learn to operate the franking and laminating machine, learn to use microsoft publisher.......for those who don't know what placement is, it basically means attachment/internship.......so far i've worked for 17hrs......need to be there for at least 43 more hours before i can complete my placement......hopefully i can finish on time......

uni's starting tomorrow.....and i have assignment due on friday but i've not started doing....guess i should just stop blogging and start doing my assignment........i'll try my best to update as frequently as possible.....

CML Quiz 2

think people may find this weird......how come i published 2 posts today......well...not that i'm extremely free (or maybe i really am).....probably i just want to stop thinking about my stats quiz for a moment.......i remembered how frustrated i was last week about the perdisco quiz.....the website had been down for so long....and there're so many restrictions......many people had been complaining......the situation was so bad that my lecturer had finally decided to make it optional (kinda ambiguous...but at least its not compulsory for us to do the perdisco quizzes now)........something to cheer about.......and now we can stay focus on the CML quizzs.......

was doing my 2nd quiz in the library today with a few other friends.......we were told before hand that this would be the toughest quiz of all.....and we gonna spent the most time on it.....true enough......i spent a long time doing it.....had been doing it since 130pm....we stopped at about 5pm when the library closes.....went out for a bite and continue form 6pm to 720pm.......but its still incomplete.......i still have about 2 more questions....and mind you,the whole quiz only have 13 questions......can't believe i actually spent so much time doing 1 quiz.....i had to spend alot of time reading the question,digesting the information and pick out the right formula for the right question.....

haiz......felt that i could never conquer probability.....it has always been a topic that i feared since sec sch days......and this quiz is mainly about probability......hopefully i'll do ok for this quiz.......

Slacking?????u sure???

how come no one's believing me when i said i'm slacking this semester?????i haven't even started writing my assignments...not even started with research......every week just come and pass by quickly.....the only stuffs i did was stats tutorial and online quizzes.....oh well....hopefully i won't slack too much and stuff up my final semester......

just started with my placement on wednesday...went down to help them set up for the event,got free lunch on wednesday and thursday......actual work will start this week.....i'm told to go down on every thursdays and maybe more frequently when they needed help with the events.....hopefully i'll be able to management my time properly.....

midsem break's coming...my friends are planning to go down to goldcoast for 2 days, visit one of the worlds, shop and eat......kinda inconvenient when we dont have cars....have to take public transport down (about 4hrs journey)....since our mid sem break lies on the Easter week, makes it more inconvenient for us since buses don't run on public holidays and shops r closed as well.....oh well.....hopefully we'll manage to get out of ippy during the break....
