just a random entry I found in my journal... probably to remind myself I should do my very best to ensure that my English doesn't die.

written 7th May '08, after a dismal showing at VB mid-terms.

"There are times when I marvel at my own suay-ness.

1st the sole potato I have left proves unworthy of cooking, then my back cramps, followed by an acute relapse of the pain in the knee as I was walking to the computer lab. Alas, the computer I was assigned proved to be on the brink of death as the above mentioned potato was and I was not assigned a different one until a gd 5 min into our 1 hr exam.

unfortunately for me, the question was nowhere near the level of ease Snr Weixiong had described and assured me of. Up till the very last second b4 I submitted my work in defeat, I still couldn't get the programme to work.

Once again, I am convinced of my lack of aptitude of any sort towards computer science. I understand the school clearly wants the benefit for us, you know, learning how to use the 1998 version of Visual Basic, but I must say, computer science hardly agrees with me. For what reason am I spending more time on it when I really should be putting my heart and soul into the gems of literature so temptingly placed within reach of my person."

thankfully, I managed to pass the wretched module and am at last liberated from computer science, at least until I graduate, where I'll be taught how to use Microsoft Powerpoint in NIE. wow. so exciting!
