my new basketball

finally gotten a basketball!! haha

since yesterday I have made up my mind to exercise every morning... have realized the importance of keeping fit because performing a piece requires so much energy, those building of climaxes, nuances, expressivity.. it's athletic in nature

I still rem i almost fainted on the early hrs of Mon this wk.. quite a scary experience, though it's not my 1st time already.. plus the daunting idea of not completing seminars in a few hrs time.. wha almost thought i'm never going to make it this time... So now really must make use of this hols to train up!

my aching arms are feeling bit heavy now.. haha must be those push-ups i did yesterday

gonna start playing basketball tmr morn! i'm soo excited.. its made of half rubber and half leather so not as heavy as those basketballs that we often play in sch

here's a pic :D

Calculus is OVER!

Yeah!! Just finished my Cal II paper.. haha.. it was not too bad, and luckily i made the right choice not to study those proofs of comparison test, ratio test, riemann sums and blah blah... haha the easy ones i read came out!! whoho!! phew... 4 days of intensive Cal., not leaving the tuts and notes even for a sec and it's like one of my first time studying till 2 plus and just surviving on 5hr of sleep.. Next sem gonna be my last sem doing maths if i'm sticking to my choice, feeling really sad. So i tell myself I hav to do as well next sem in math to give it a nice perfect cadence, as it may very well be my last involvement with math exams and studies.. (funny how i sweared in my jc years that i wont want to hav anything to do with math again and now my love for it has been rekindled..)

I am so washed over by fatigue now.. extremely weary but still have to force myself to start preparing for the 2 seminars next tues.. hoping for the best.. *sigh* can't wait for all to be over next wed and i just want to have a nice good deep sleep next wed night and rot at home for the next few days doing nothing.. my brains and eyes need a rest!

and my goal for dec would be gaining another kg.. i can feel my health on the decline this few wks, my pulse tells and my physician is getting quite worried too.. this constant rush of adrenaline is really no fun

1 paper down!

Just finished Algebra II exam earlier in the evening.. quite a fair paper i would say..

I had really grown to enjoy math in sch more than anything else, not that the subject is easy, it is not.. But the culture surrounding it makes it so enjoyable! My friends there are really helpful and they dont mind discussing their solutions and method of thinking

~

For the past few days preparing for this paper, I think i spent at least 1/3 of my time discussing math on the phone (think the phone bill this month can kill).. haha.. i think throughout this 3 sems we have sort of built a network and u will have someone to turn to in times of trouble, even when the lecturer cant be reached (coz out of office hr).. it's quite fun to hav math discussions beyond midnight though i'm often brain dead by then.. haha and on the eve of the paper (yesterday), my phone just kept ringing non-stop.. wha discuss until my mouth went dry

Lecturers were easy to relate to as you dont feel there's a gap between their phd status and u as a student.. and consultations are very often, extremely inspiring because u suddenly see the 'light' and everything became so logical u can make connections everywhere.. and u start making those thms and definations as a part of u, as something so common sensical.. when this stage is reached, u are almost there! haha!

Think this is quite unlike in arts subj where it's more of independent work.. and esp history.. ahh i'm having real difficulty making meanings from what i read, much less connections.. partly because my hist knowledge is a bare minimum and i'm all along studying science subjs.. my seminars i dont even know how and where to start, coz they are things i've not heard at all before, plus really no time to invest in the research.. haiz.. sometimes it really makes me wonder if i'm being rational by making the decision i have made last yr.. or should i... do as my cal. lect. hopes?
