Not-so-motivated anymore.

In light of my recent exams, i decided to change my desktop wallpaper.

Do Your Work. Don’t Be Stupid. I am hoping that this desktop wallpaper would motivate me to study, but i guess im just too stupid. I am slacking and procastinating like crazy. Haha.  I need to read 3 novels by tuesday for my english 223 exam, but I doubt that I can do that. I’ve always been a slow reader so I hope that I would read at least 2 of them.

I have written 3 of my exams so far and all of them were pretty bad. I hope i would pass all my courses. Psyc 304 exam was pretty tough and geog 312 was just brutal. I think I did ”okay” with my geog 122, but I pretty much BS-ed the whole exam. So no certainties of those.

I’ve never felt so stupid and dumb in my life. I’ve always considered myself a decent-smart guy, but I guess this year is not my year. I am barely passing my courses and i hope that i would at least manage to pass my courses. I just want to get this school year over with. Starting summer school, I am going to start trying harder and buy the darn textbook.

Late update: I finally got scheduled for my knee surgery. My surgery will be on Wednesday, the 30th 1:30 PM. But apparently i need to be in the hospital 2 hours prior to my surgery, so I have to be there by 11:30. I was told that I am prohibited from any eating or drinking 12 hours before my surgery or else my operation would be cancelled. Oh my Goodness! 12 Hours of no food and WATER! AHHHH! I’m okay with not eating food, but no water?! Don’t know how i’m going to handle that.

I am kinda excited for my surgery, but kinda not. I am scared that some complications may happen  (ie. ACL/MCL problems?) but im really excited on getting my gimpy knee fixed. I hope everything goes well.

Anyway I will end my post here. I need to read my novels =(

Next week is going to be intense. I hope I survive.

contradicting to my desktop wallpaper is a sticker on my laptop.

 

Almost got pulled over >.<”

I should be sleeping right now, but I feel like writing an entry. Something interesting happened to me, but more on that later….

I woke up early today hoping to go to UBC to study and then head off to work; but I got lazy and decided to get more sleep.  I ended up deciding to go to school after work because I didnt get any studying at home. There are just too many distractions here.

I decided to go to work today because I feel bad that I will not be showing up next week. I was given the option to skip it but I didnt. Work was alright, not too straineous or hectic; but wasnt very productive. 

After work, I went to UBC with my friend to study. We ended up going to Koerner library to study because there was no seats in Irving. It was actually pretty good that we ended up studying in Koerner because I wanted to use the psych textbook in the reserve stacks. I got tons of studying done there, but Im still not ready for my exam. We stayed at koerner until 11 and decided to head home; it was getting really late and I didnt want to drive home at 12 midnight.

So here is the interesrting story. On my way home from school, I almost got pulled over by a cop. Me and a bunch of cars were going at around 110km/h in UBC highway. There was around 6 or 7 of us (6-7cars), and I was one of the last ones at the back of the group. Out of nowhere, the car behind me switched lane and drove beside my car. At first I was like, “this car is going to overtake me” but all of a sudden, I was like “oh my gosh, thats a cop car!” The cop car turned on his blue-flashing-cop-trademark-lights and everyone started to slow down and drive at 60 km/h. The cop car was still beside my car, so I thought i was going to get pulled over, but luckily I didnt. The car on the other lane (the one in front of the cop car) switched to my lane and let the cop car pass through. I was relieved that I didnt get pulled and told my friend that it would be funny if I someone gets pulled over. 2 seconds later (literally), the cop car pulls over a car. haha! sucks to be that guy. Out of all the cars, he was the sucker who gets pulled over.

I wouldve been so screwed if I was the one who gets pulled over though. Not only was I speeding, but I didnt have an N sign on the car. I wouldve gotten 2 tickets and some crazy spazzing from my parents; but thank goodness I didnt. So on my way home, I was following the city limit and all paranoid from getting pulled over. Oh my goodness, city limit is so slow. Took me forever to get home.  I was really hoping that I would be able to beat my record of 18 minutes from 41st street to home, but I guess not =(

oh well, at least i didnt get ticketed!

Motivated to study.

Classes have finally ended, and exams are all thats left. No more term papers and assignments =)  I can’t wait for summer to come, but stupid finals exams are around the corner. I have my first final (psyc 304) this Friday at bloody 8:30 in the morning. From what I calculated, I need to get 47% on the final to pass the course. I hope I pass this course. Its 6 credits and i dont want to retake it once again. I got 37% on my previous test, so I’m somewhat nervous for this exam. Maybe I shouldve bought the textbook >_>

Geog 122 and 312 finals are next week, both 8:30 in the morning as well. I am not looking forward to those exams because its going to be a short answers/paragraph writing exam. After that, I have Eng 223 the following week. I am super screwed with my English class. I haven’t read 3 of my novels (maybe I should stop blogging and start reading my novels). I thought that my english final exam would be something similar to my canadian lit class. But boy was I wrong. I was really hoping that the prof would give us the topics for the final, but he didn’t. So now, I need to do some major reading of novel (or at least read sparknotes).

So in light of my exam period, I decided to stop using MSN and facebook for the next 3 weeks. I asked my friend to change my facebook password and I uninstalled MSN from my computer. By doing this, I am hoping that I would turn into one of those hermits.  I am really motivated to do good on my upcoming exams because I have been slacking off for the whole term. But I don’t know, I have a feeling that by the end of the week, I am going to start slacking off. I am barely passing most of my class, so I must keep myself motivated. No MSN and no Facebook until April 29 5:30 PM.

I decided to take a summer course for the upcoming summer semester. I will be taking psyc 302 Infancy. I know that I am hating school a lot, but I decided that I need to do something productive over the summer, other than work. Also, it would be good for me to take at least one course so I dont need to take full-load for the upcoming winter semester.

On a different subject, Mom came back home this past thursday from the Philippines. She bought me a w810c from China (apparently she went to china >_<”). I was somewhat disappointed at first, because i wanted the k810, not w810. I really wanted to get a phone with good camera feature, but after fooling around with the w810, I am pretty happy with it. The camera is decent enough for my low standards =P . Its kindve of bummer that the phone is not a flip phone though. Flip phones are so much more convenient, in my opinion. But nonetheless, i like it.

I feel pretty bad for getting the phone though. First, i dont deserve to get a new phone. I am not satisfied with the way things are going in my life (especially with school). Second, my w300i phone still works and it would be a waste for just not using it. I doubt that I can sell it at craigslist or something because the condition is pretty bad. haha. Third, w810 costs a lot of money. *sigh*

Injury update: I’ve been playing basketball once again, but the knee is really sore afterwards. I ice it to prevent any swelling or anything happening, but it still hurts once in awhile. But it feels reaaally good to run. I don’t know what I would do if I cant walk, run or jump. I am still in the waiting for my knee surgery. I hope that it won’t be on the day of Church Summer Conference or VBS.

Alright, I shall end my post here. I need to head to bed and get some sleep. I am hoping to go to UBC tomorrow to go to the library and read my psyc textbook. Goodnight.
