It's that time of the year again, the frantic mugging period. As of now, i've caught up with 2 modules (more or less), 1 left a bit more, 1 more half done (meaning haven't touch since mid terms), another one never-paidmuch-attention-to-it-cos-i-SU-ed-it, and another one haven't touched since... ermm... in fact, it's haven't touched, period.
6 modules can be a killer, but somehow i'm quite calm about the preparations, despite it being 4-5 days to exam day. I'm not dead calm, but unusually calm, that it kindof scares me. Must be numb to the pain already. I'm just waiting for the realisation that i'm actually pretty screwed, which would most probably hit me around 6-7 hours before my first paper. And yes, i don't usually sleep before every paper. There goes the theory on "you remember things better after you have slept on it", out the window. Win some, lose some.
And like any exam preparation period, the breaks in between studying is spent on "what should i do after exams". It's probably the only thing that keeps us students sane amidst the last minute attempts to squeeze a semester's work into our heads in a matter of weeks, no, days.
Anwyay, here's my list, for the moment:
1) Dissect the bassline of every Bon Jovi song on the crossroads album. Then move on to John Mayer Trio, Pino Palladino stuff. Every year keep saying want to level up, now must make that resolution, and be more specific.
2) Learn Pachelbel Canon, on... ermm.. piano. It's kindof embarrasing that i've taken piano lessons in my younger days, and when someone asks me to play a classic, all i can whip out is chopsticks. Gone, shall be the days of being ridiculed that my piano grade 6 cert is a cheap counterfeit bought from Indonesia.
3) Sell off all my excess stuff in my room, actually mainly pedals which are obviously bought on impulse. Proceeds will go to my thunderbird fund, which is not an impulse, cos i'm actually saving up for it. i think. i shall go ponder over whether it's excessive, after my exams of course.
4) Do something worthwhile. Point to remember for personal reference.
5) Run/exercise/workout/anything/everything. Need to clear IPPT in June. Now even physcial fitness test also last minute got to cram. I think i've reached the peak of procrastination mastery.
So little time, so much to do. Especially, knowing myself, the sofa and a televsion before me are 2 good enough reasons for me to forget such resolutions. Such is the enthusiasm and energy of the youths today. -
