Perhaps it's because I slept for a mere 4 hours last night or perhaps it's the recent chain of events, but I'm feeling extremely tired. My emotions are like a fucking roller-coaster while my concentration that of a 3 year old kid. Needless to say, I completed nothing recently, and as always, there's a serious need for me to get my ass crackin'.
The timetable for the finals are out. 6th, 9th and 11th of November. The first one's a take home exam so I'm not very worried. Neither is the last one. Rather, it's the one on the 9th that worries me. WJD's the only subject that I haven't been performing consistently well. Not to mention that the final exam is worth 40%, I really, really wonder how should I prepare aptly for it. (The recent defeat by SJ4's mid-term only signifies the importance of early and relevant preparation.)
Also, the results for SRS is due to be released soon. "Offers will be made from mid-September on," the website said. I want it quite badly yet I dare not be too hopeful of it. I check my ANU mail like 9,863,917 times a day, hoping to find a relief for this constant anxiety but to no avail, yet. Meanwhile, I've just submitted the formal application for hons, 1 month ahead of the deadline, hoping that it might trigger some kind of reaction to sway the results of SRS in my favor. After all, it's all to show the administration that I am motivated and keen to embark on my research.
I'm also thinking of applying for this 日本語サミット (Nihongo Summit) program. Unfortunately, I have to prepare a 3-5 page paper on "勇気と平和" (Courage and Peace), in Japanese of course. What a general topic. Well, I have slightly more than a month to prepare so I just might be able to come up with something. For a free trip to Japan next year, why not right?
But for now, a review of 秒速５センチメートル beckons. Gotta make some progress before I go out and have a drink with Eugene later.
