I'VE BEEN GOOD

Didn't cave in to buy ASOS :)
Exchange rate appeared to have fallen but after spending an awfully long time perusing the site, decided that I'd be lying to myself if I said I NEED another dipped-hem tee. EVEN IF it's black, not from New Look and appears to fit better than dodgy V-necks do. 
ASOS has some great pieces but the exchange rate really puts me off, being double the puny SGD. That's that.

Not looking at F21 anymore!
We-ell, not recently anyway. However, last I checked the exchange rate was around USD1=SGD1.39. WHICH IS FREAKING LOW. (Compared to the 1.45-1.47 prevalent previously, not too long ago.) 
Maybe I'll get something from Swell.com for my brother. Only Billabong counts with him, being at THAT age y'know? My mum is against it though HAHA, as she is with most all online shopping.

306: I'm a total loser.
I read the entire book (including all the examples even those not covered in lecture) but when I proceeded to attempt the questions, I got bloody stuck. Sem3 and I was already thinking of breaking things. (I think being ill and medication have a combined negative effect on me. I actually thought inflicting pain on myself, bonus if blood was drawn, would be a great idea!) Didn't exactly find anything which would shatter and which I wouldn't mind breaking now, hence, the scratch marks. Guess I would sooner get thrown into the loonybin then get 306.
Sem 3 is like, the basics? We haven't even got to the good parts yet!
Thankfully I could do Sem 4 albeit with some cheating BUT at least I can say I got 90% of the CJEs. (100% abit the not possible after Sem 2)
Attempting Sem 5 now. Keeping fingers crossed I'd cover till Sem 7 today. At least I can start on derivatives tomorrow. 3 days for that? Totally zomg right? To think I didn't have electives. But I'm always like that. We had a long long time to study for 213 and I GGed that paper too.

306: It's turning out like FM.
But at least I read my entire textbook. FM - did not touch the book AT ALL. During the exam, I'm quite sure I did not attempt any question in its entirety. Was feeling very zen because I was that hopeless. 
Do you know anyone who didn't know how to press calculator for FV and PV even during the exam? No? You do, that's me. I suppose there were plenty of other FM-illiterates cuz' I got B. Which isn't my worst grade. 306? I feel sick just thinking about it. 

So near yet so far...
If I really wanted a 2U, I would have worked hard in the previous sems, no? Fact is I allowed myself to slack and acknowledged defeat even before the paper. What's the point of lamenting that "I feel so embarrassed!" now? AND emphasis not on being disappointed but rather, embarrassment. You can tell how much good grades mean to me. It's just another superficial achievement. I really don't deserve good grades in that case.

Don't we all need a break to absorb better? 
Gonna dye my hair! LIKE NOW. Hopefully the color won't turn out awful. My mum thinks most flashy colors are 'dog colors'. Keeping fingers crossed nothing golden retrievorish. Though I adore retrievors (:

On the subject of pets
I read this article on cruelty to animals being bred for sale (as pets). I don't quite understand why workers in those breeding 'farms' kill animals? It was mentioned that live hamsters were stuffed into a bag then bashed against a table.
WHY?
Were they deformed or because they became obsolete? You won't believe such cruelty unless you see it for yourself!
We stop to coo at the hamsters and bunnies being displayed but their lives might be damn wretched. Why do people buy a 'new' pet when there are so many waiting to be adopted, waiting for a place at a shelter? Due to space and financial constraints, many animals who need a home but aren't necessarily healthy, are put to sleep rather than up for adoption. And then we breed more to (what) take their place? If I ever get a pet, I would adopt. But then being totally hypocritical, would probably still pick one which was healthy. Being a hypocrite sucks, doesn't it?

Happy Labor Day, by the way :)
I woke up, past 12, recorded Princess Diaries and am now battling Sem 5 :)

306: my sole priority
I really can't be bothered to entertain your halfhearted attempts at relationship maintenance. If I'm free, sure, why not? I can even pretend to be your bff! But now, NO.
And I'm online, on my phone. I don't check for new messages nor am I notified of new messages.

Lady Gaga:
I was told she amputated one of her legs, below the knee, purely for fashion purposes. Is that true? I really find it too ridiculous to believe. 

Rest
My doctor told me to get more rest because 'a cold usually takes 4-5 days to go away'.
I don't have that luxury. I've been clocking 12-5 days. No wonder I'm still ill. Parents are telling me to 'go out and study with your friends, consult them!' because they think I'll go insane soon.
