i believe in miracles.
one more day at home and the "institute of hermit-ology" will come knocking on my aunt's door to invite me to be the honorary guest at their next convention. HAHA. dry luffs* i realise that was urm.. NOT funny at all. i am nearing the end of my lab report. miracalously, its not even midnight. so, i decided to reiterate to u, my dearest bloggie; and of course u lovely cyber people you, the benefit of knowing how the past [deplorable] days went for me.
18th oct 2004. The Monday.
wak bought me a 10-trip train ticket. which works/ will work out to be the ultimate awsomeness, esp with the finance being on the down-low. miracalously, i semi-finish my r&m lab report n' even submitted it 4 hrs prior to submission time due (at 5pm). MIRACLE i tell you. cant rem how the rest of the day went. i didnt sleep that night.
19th oct 2004. The Tuesday.
spent the entire day at home. well. my aunt's actually [which is where i still am now]. did my psychology of decision making lab report. went to the docs in the noon. i remember it being a beautifully sunny day but.. i was obviously wrapped up in my work. so much so i was oblivious to this fact UNTIL i opened the door to an over-friendly post man commenting on the beautiful day. i was in my trackies and jumper?! like halo! 24 degrees! u know the theory; hot outside, cold inside! watched the o.c. .. oh. highlight of the day: guy sebastian performed his new single: kryptonite. or something like that. nice. i realise im a guy fanatic. his stardom has 4-5 of my sms' to thank for =) .i slept at 3am tt night [rather, tmr morning] n' cldnt wake up for sahur.
20th oct 2004. The Wednesday.
i actually finished the dec makin lab report!!! well, cept for the nitty gritty like the referencing n' editing; which i finished off in uni. but hell yeahhh!! i finished it. i, nur asyikin hamzah, hereby believe in miracles. serious! so. i met ling at the 6th floor psych office to submit our labbies. lethargy and tireness forced me to overcome my fear of taking elevators alone. i bippety-bopped and went la-di-da on my [new] mp3 player. old man? where!? [credits go to 'the eye'. freakee show. yes dee. im still having nightmares over it]. i rem, i went on a detour to the city [instead of taking a straight train fm caulfield]. didnt know when wak would be able to pick me up. safest time i know fa sure she'd be able to is when the kids are let out of sch [3:30pm]. t'was only 1 plus then. so, the detour to the city i went! good chance to catch up with lings. feels heaps ages since we last spoke. like really spoke and really hang out - JUST the two of us. i slept my evening off n' went to bed at 9pm tt night. i was pooped out!
21st oct. The Today.
now. this i can remember! its called the recency effect. bear w' my "i've read a gazillion research journals" state of mind yes? yes. so recency effect is when something recent happens and because it's just been stored in ur STM (short term mem storage), u rem it clearly.
right-EO. i've blabbed off the tangent there matey! i woke up substantially early. 6? well. hyperventilated and panicked when i realised i know nothing about the psych of lang labbie. panicked until i spoke to ling n' she reassured me tt everything's on the web. so.... somehow, i finally understood what i had to do. im still at it btw. but its not too bad. the glitch is of course tt i have to go to clayton to submit this dratted assignment in.
its the final countdown. this labbie is my final assignment for my entire "real" school life. i know i still have that summer program but tts now really a sch. just a summer program.. plus lects and tutes not compulsory = nogo. i can see it even now. same diff. i feel like im a 'distance student' even now. really dont see the need to go to class. yes. it jogs ur memory n' in exams, u think.. "ah.. tt time when tt guy was being spastic. tt was the day we studied schizophrenic". u know.. the "priming effect" - i wont even go there!

11:48pm - The Now.
this is my final final final lab report. aside from the summer program ones n' the highly-likely repeated subj [god forbid!]. im too tired to be ecstatic. ive turned my uncle's in home office into a post tornado zone.
i wanna make an announcment. DO NOT MAKE PSYCHOLOGY AN AMBITION! its not as cool. i swear. ok. so im thinking, since im about done with the introduction and parts of the other parts, i shld sleep yes? maybe i shld. n' wake up for sahur n' finish it off. i gotta go to uni early. catch a lift w' wak when she drops the kids off at sch.
revision for exams officially starts tmr. monday paper is an open paper. 50 MCQs for 2hrs. u must be joking right? quote from alice: "u can just see it. the helpless clueless students vs. the deplorable merciless MCQ designers"! JUST 50qns for 2hrs? and open book???!! fishy... u reckon?!
