Of not quite insanity but close xD

Did you know that 72 hours without sleep can have you classified as insane until you get some sleep? =D Well I kind of got close to that this week with, prior to yesterday night, 24 hours of sleep in total for the week from Monday to Friday. Oh ouch. On the other hand, I had an overly long 15 hours of sleep straight =)

…Which I need in order to study for my exam in 3 days T_T

Kind of wonder what I want to do when the exams end. Firstly – comatose myself for about a week! -nods- =D
Oh sleep, how I miss thee. I feel sleepy right now actually -blinks- But can’t sleep now because there’s study to be done.

I rather dislike my timetable. Accounting in the morning on the 29th, followed by a Saturday exam of psychology also in the morning [I only get 2 days to study for it =(] and then the Thursday after I have a legal exam finishing at 8pm at night :/ and one week after that I have a politics exam which inconveniently has to be in the afternoon.

On the other hand, I like writing notes. So so so much more than the assignment variety of essays. Test essays are fine, they’re over and done with and don’t have 500 revisions :/ Same can’t be said for trying and failing to perfect an assignment which you just end up giving up on in the end.

Been feeling fairly ill lately. Rather feel like being a hermit and just hide away from humanity too.
Perhaps it would give me a chance to stop and smell the roses. Not quite doable within semester. Which brings me to the point that I could do with improving my intelligence sometimes. Or cease superficiality. Although there was an interesting 2 hour conversation with a random on artificial intelligence and psychology. That person did computer science in arts too. :/ But I don’t think it’s possible for me anymore. Certainly don’t want to stay back longer than 5 years… Hm. Arts internship. Might see if I can do that this summer. But perhaps next year when I’ve done more arts subjects would be more appropriate.

Turns out I can major in economics by doing 5 more eco subjects; and only need 5 for accounting too. [Of which I have 3 left..] So I can have one elective to do whatever I want – most likely, information systems so I can pick CPA if necessary.
Were I do to psychology in honours, I would need to do one subject non-award, which brings me to the point where I could finish on time and possibly do a grad. dip in psychology were I ever to decide accounting is too boring and pursue psychology.

Nonetheless, with the results I’ve just gotten back for psychology, I can’t say I’m sure of that. :/ Of course, it would help if I stopped talking to someone who keeps disparaging psychology >_> Gosh! Okaay, so you don’t like psychology. So what! Stop pushing that opinion on me >_<

Meh.
I still don’t know what to major in other than accounting. Or politics which fascinates yet repulses me. -shrug- Although it is amusing that I’ve been doing all the courses necessary for a global studies major which only people doing international studies can do, even though I didn’t plan to nor happen to enjoy it. :/ But frankly, who cares at the moment. This website could do with a new theme. I’m sick of the graveyard.

Oh and hosting transferred. Hopefully without problems.

Any interest whatsoever in globalisation has been lost.

It’s an amusing trend how most of my politics and international relations/political economy subjects tend to err on the side of a B. International Studies globalisation major type of plan… Were it not for my addition of psych I could probably have switched to B. Commerce/B. Social Science without a fuss.

But as I procrastinate at a time so late, with a 2500 word essay due in 1 day which I only have 1300 words on [1200 to go or 1000 actual content and 2000 for a conclusion [i.e. rewording the introduction] and I’ve been running on 4 hrs of sleep all day and will pull another 4 hrs of sleep day tomorrow only rather than finishing at 4pm, I finish at 7pm and won’t even get home till late and I hope I don’t waste my break even though its 3 hours long and that’s heaps [guess its time to hide out in the library].

POLS2023 is rather odd indeed.
I shall leave it at that.

-sigh- So much to do, so little time.

I’m getting sleepy. Sleeeepy. Or rather, I ought to be.
Except I’m not for some odd reason. Hm.

Politics speech was epically bad beyond belief. I just.. spoke far too fast. Psychology group presentation wasn’t picture perfect either. But at least there was a positive response. Seriously, I don’t think my lecturer/tutor in politics even knows my name so I hope I even get a grade at this rate. Okay, clearly, I should have participated through semester, but bleh. No participation marks? As if I would. Alright, fine, I would participate. Indeed, I do actually. … in my other three classes and not a single one has participation marks this semester.

But.. politics? Even if its on globalisation? Well if things just didn’t go off on such a tangent then maybe I would.
And yet, the question was just so vague and philosophical. Okay. Definitely not doing philosophy in the summer session then. On the other hand, it doesn’t count to the WAM so maybe I will. That or do a Chinese history course. Then again, both might be full by the time I decide, which shall be after exams are over. Far far away, into the November 13ths of the month ahead.

Assessments. Marks are getting delayed in legal and I’m getting worried. Okay, so maybe I did okay in the last Accounting test. But just because I wanted to counter the concept of a 40% failure rate in acct2542 by actually doing well in that doesn’t mean I want to compromise my other marks! >_< I mean.. I got such a pathetic mark in Finance last semester... and never again!!

So anyway, I went and did some psych notes tonight when really, I should be working on my last assessment- the 25% 2500 word politics essay =(. Which just so happens to be on the topic which I presented that really crap speech on. *sigh* Go figure.
Well basically, the only positive comment I received, if it’s positive at all, was the in-depth study of the readings. I.e. perhaps it was too much there. Gah.
Think philosophical think.

“The process of globalisation itself universalises the normative criteria by which we assess it. Discuss.”
Judgements. Judgements. Oh hm.
I can’t believe that right now I’ve had the epiphany to hope that I just.. pass it. >_< Nonono. I want at least a credit! I was doing so well too. =( I have to do this essay well because I only have 16% currently [out of 20%] and well.. I don’t think my tutorial presentation will be close to 10%. Argh. I had a different marker for the essay and it sure won’t be the case since this week’s question was the lecturer’s favourite topic and I just completely mutilated it in my state of ever deprived half-sleep.
On the other hand, Oktoberfest was the night before. No I did not get plastered like the rest of the class must have. Maybe I should have. Then again, if I did, then perhaps I’d have zilch hours of sleep as opposed to 2.
