week 4

my 2nd piece of assessment is due tomorrow. i'm not really stressing it since it's basically only 500 words and worth 10%. having said that however, i'm going to get it done before sleep tonight. before last year, i used to suppress my panic mode. i'd have a 3000 word research essay due the next day and slept like a baby the night before without having written even one word of it. and the next day, i'd get up at 1pm, be at the library by 2.30pm .. finish the entire thing by 7.30pm. due time was at 12 midnight. of course, it wasn't the best essay in the world but i did manage to get a credit- thank God! if you asked me now to pull a stunt like that, i'd scream, "ARE YOU FREAKIN' OUT OF YOUR FREAKIN' MIND?!" lol. starting last year, i managed to do a bit of prioritising and started research and creating outlines for my essays about 5 days before the actual due date and then finish the assignment a day or two earlier. i must say, it's an awesome feeling knowing you don't have to rush double-checking, printing, filling in assignment minder forms, etc. since then, i've been trying my best to keep up this routine :)

now back to work. sigh.
